Re: Later on...
"I still have headaches, but both the Atlantean physicians and the neurologist my mom insisted I see when I got back say that is normal and will go away in time. I may always struggle with a few words here and there, but I should be fine." Kassi squeezes Ben's hand, the concern tracing over his face telling her that she shouldn't tell him that it was her father who accidentally hurt her.
When he asks about her Atlanteanness, she lights up.
"I can totally breathe underwater. It's just like breathing air for me. I don't have gills per se, but I suspect my lungs are built differently. Never tried to find out. I can tolerate the extreme undersea pressures and temperatures, too. It's really a lot like being part fish. My dad used to call me his little mermaid. I totally liked that.
"Um. I do need to hydrate. I get weak when I'm not hydrated and just drinking water won't do it--though it doesn't hurt. I take an actual bath every day, and three times a week I go for a dip in the ocean. The wings don't affect the swimming but they let me fly. I suck at landings."
She pauses.
"Oh and I can pick up a minivan like it were a sack of potatoes. I do not make a habit of this, but it was useful this one time when I tore up a Doombot."
