Cyllene tries to hum thoughtfully and fails.  ...She nods.

"I can make sure to tell you which ones are just stories, though."

Thank you.

You're still wearing the necklace?

"Oh, yes, I should've told you - it turns out it helps me walk somehow? I couldn't sleep with it on but I tested this morning and it was definitely helping yesterday so I put it back on."

Permalink

 

That's strange!

"Couldn't agree more! I guess it's helping me keep track of my feet."

Giggle.

"So thank you for that even though it seems to have been an unintended side effect."

Her skin is not rough now.

Her skin is not rough now, and it's not as if the two of them haven't already touched several times before, but - she puts her hand up, where he could touch it if he wanted to.  Because she can.  Without that being bad for him.

"You want me to take another look at your curse situation?"

Permalink

Blink.  ....Headshake.

"What is it, then?"

I have always been bad to tutch, since I was a shark person and not just very small.  Now, as a human, I'm not.

"T-O-U-C-H. It's - not customary for humans to touch each other without a reason in most situations."

Permalink

I have reasons.

"Well, that's why I asked if you wanted me to look at your curse situation again, that would be a reason. Just wanting to try it isn't, especially - it's less of a big deal if you ask Jane than me because she's a woman."

"...this is really complicated but I suppose somebody's got to explain it. There's a lot of human etiquette to make excruciatingly sure that nobody, especially no nobly born women, are under suspicion of inappropriate congress. ...if your language magic is not helping you enough there I can be more specific but I shouldn't like to if you catch my meaning."

make small person????

How????

Permalink

"Oh dear. Uh. Touching your hand would not make any small people. That is why I can do it if I have a good reason. But if I don't have a good reason, then it - creates an atmosphere in which that's just a thing we do on a whim, and that is reserved for relatives and also for married couples - do sea people marry -"

Nod.

"And it is generally understood among humans that it will be harder for someone, especially a woman and especially a nobly born one, to marry, if there is reason to think she has had such a casual relationship with any men in the past - that it is preferable for a would-be groom to be extremely confident that this is not the case with his bride-to-be. So in a sense the rule is to protect you, but also I wouldn't like a reputation as someone who ignores it even if you are about to tell me that it is completely inapplicable because you are already married to a sea-person or intend to become a nun or something."

My father wants me to marry a sea person since that one was small, but I hate them so I will not.  None?
