Ah...help! {Xie Lian now resembles a merman. Or, rather, a Koi merman. He flaps uselessly in his garden and covers his face with his hands, his finned ears fluttering in embarrassment.}

I think...I need...a pool? A...um...bathtub? Something!

What happens if I dry out?

Evangeline-neechan and I aren't related related, like, we're not from the same world. But we're still family. Sometimes you just see someone like that. There's a lot of people here who feel that way about other ones.

Oh yes! I remember her name now. Mm I like family like that. {The kind you choose; the kind that becomes dear because of their actions not because of blood.}

Yeah, she's the greatest ♪ Does that mean you have someone like that too?

[disgracedprince]

I have a few people like that in my life. Three of them are ghosts!
