Raphael looks up, and smiles. He calmly stops hugging her and waves. "Why hello there!"

"Who are you waving to?" she asks as she looks around.

"Isn't your sister and Mason here?" Raphael says, tilting his head and pointing. "Or am I seeing things? I might need glasses..."

[Skyline United]

"Who are you waving to?" she asks as she looks around.

"Isn't your sister and Mason here?" Raphael says, tilting his head and pointing. "Or am I seeing things? I might need glasses..."

"No, I was listing off my friends."

"Isn't your sister and Mason here?" Raphael says, tilting his head and pointing. "Or am I seeing things? I might need glasses..."

"No, I was listing off my friends."

'Ohhhhh! I was seeing things. Anyway, no, I wasn't asking who you're friends were! I was asking if we're friends." Raphael says.

[Skyline United]

"No, I was listing off my friends."

'Ohhhhh! I was seeing things. Anyway, no, I wasn't asking who you're friends were! I was asking if we're friends." Raphael says.

"Of course we are!" she said before hugging him again, "Don't you ever doubt that."

[Luminesa]

Meanwhile, inside the school, Xavier and Charlotte were walking together, looking for the Principal. He had finally gotten her to come out of her room, and maybe to go get something to eat as well. "I'm kinda happy the school is back to normal...the last few days have been...crazy..." he said to her.

Raphael smiles and hugs her back. Then looks at Otohime. "Soooo.... How are you?" he asks as he separates from Inari.

Inari changes back to her fox form and watches.

Meanwhile, inside the school, Xavier and Charlotte were walking together, looking for the Principal. He had finally gotten her to come out of her room, and maybe to go get something to eat as well. "I'm kinda happy the school is back to normal...the last few days have been...crazy..." he said to her.

She nodded. "For a while I wasn't even in control of my own body. Which is nothing short of disturbing."

...

"On the other hand... I still haven't fully calmed down. I mean, I'm sure I will eventually, but I keep glancing over my shoulder like somebody's watching me." She shuddered. "It's creepy. But then, with a life like mine, a little good old fashioned paranoia is to be expected."

He smiled sadly. "I was hardly in control of mine at all...but yeah, soon everything should be calm for good, and we can go back to class without any worries..."

"That will be a welcome relief."

I can't wait until it happens.

[Ranoria]

"How do I not touch the bottom?" she asked curiously.

"You'll see." Raphael says with a smile, leading her deeper.

Otohime floated to the top of the water, standing on it, and looked at Raph.
"Watcha doin?"

"Teaching Inari how to swim." he replies, and then points at Otohime. "That, Inari, is not how you swim. That is cheating."

"Ooh! Fun. I can't help, I don't know myself, I just kinda go wherever I want too."

"Oh. Well, wanna learn? I just got done teaching Inari." Raphael offers.

[Theyra]

Mair whisperers lovely back to him. "We will stand together forever", Mair then starts to kiss him several times.

Voi after this gets uncomfortable and decided to walk away from them to give them space.

"We will." he says before standing up. "I know of a nearby lake. Want to go swimming?"

Mair gets up with a smile on her face. "Sure Mason" Mair turns to Voi. "Voi me, and Mason are going swimming, want to come?

Voi turns around to face Mair, "no I'm good, you two go on ahead. "Besides, I think you two should relax for a bit".

At the same time, Hamiri and Patriah came walking by, as they walked around the school. "Hi, guys. What's going on?" Hamiri asked.

[Ranoria]

"Ooh! Fun. I can't help, I don't know myself, I just kinda go wherever I want too."

"Oh. Well, wanna learn? I just got done teaching Inari." Raphael offers.

Otohime smiles. "Um...sure..." She sounds a little nervous.

"We have been through a lot recently. A day of rest could be helpful." he said then turned to Patriah and Hamiri. "Hey! We were just about to go swimming."

[Free Empire of the Low Isles]

"Oh. Well, wanna learn? I just got done teaching Inari." Raphael offers.

Otohime smiles. "Um...sure..." She sounds a little nervous.

Raphael smiles, and pats the water. "Well, lower yourself in, Ms. Water Dragon. It's not like it will bite."

[Ranoria]

Otohime smiles. "Um...sure..." She sounds a little nervous.

Raphael smiles, and pats the water. "Well, lower yourself in, Ms. Water Dragon. It's not like it will bite."

She lowers herself in, not moving, but her head still above the water, then smiles. "Don't be so sure..." A dragon-like shape hops out of the water and bites Raphael, not hurting him but getting him wet. She giggled.
"So? You gonna teach me?"

Raphael smiles, and pats the water. "Well, lower yourself in, Ms. Water Dragon. It's not like it will bite."

"So? You gonna teach me?"

Raphael shakes the water out of his hair and pushes it back. He smiles at her. "So, you know how to float then. Let's go at the basics. Lay on your stomach." he commands.

"Okay..." She rotates until she's flat on her stomache, barely touching the surface of the water.

"Okay..." She rotates until she's flat on her stomache, barely touching the surface of the water.

"And come underneath the water..." Raphael says patiently, giving her a look.

[Ranoria]

"Okay..." She rotates until she's flat on her stomache, barely touching the surface of the water.

"And come underneath the water..." Raphael says patiently, giving her a look.

Otohime lowers herself underwater, then looks up from below. Her voice comes out very clearly. "Now what?" A fish comes up to the surface and she pats it on the head, sending it off.

Raphael face palms. "Okay, special, bring your head up from underneath the water...."

Raphael face palms. "Okay, special, bring your head up from underneath the water...."

She raises up a bit so that she's doing what he said. "Why go above water? I can breathe just fine. Actually...why don't Take you underwater?" Before he can protest, there's an explosion of water and he's dragged under, quickly realizing that there's a large air bubble around him, and he sees Otohime is in her dragon form. She looks different from Ryujin, a pinkish tint to golden scales.
She purrs. "How do you like it?" Around em is a gorgeous reef with dozens of colored fish all around.

Raphael blinks and looks around, absolutely stunned. "Uh... give me a moment to process..." he mutters, looking around with his mouth hanging open.

His wings somehow reflect the colors of the reef lightly, looking very beautiful, even under the water.
