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?

[What is it with all these people randomly transforming?! (Granted, it only happened like twice before, but even so, Hijikata dials in already agitated!)]

How'd you end up like this?! You aren't wearing a mermaid necklace, are you?

[It doesn't look like he is, from what he can see, but who knows, maybe he wore it as an anklet and it's now tied around his fin! Then again, don't people need to be in the water for the transformation to activate?]

[ Oh! The cry for help is answered immediately as Hua Cheng steps and brings himself to his husband's side. Then he stops, staring with awe at the vision before him.

Beautiful.

But then he smiles softly and approaches his beloved, reaching out to simply pick him up - tail and all. ]

Would you like a pool?

[ Another couple steps and he brings them to a decent sized pond. ]

Wah! Did you transform by accident? I've only been able to do it on purpose!

[What the- And he thought Cucumber got into trouble in weird ways. Shang Qinghua shut his phone before grabbing a wet towel and hurrying outside.]

How in the world? Here, wrap up with this. Let's get you to the tub.

[Can't be heavier than his king, right? Bending down, he hauled him up into his arms.]

[And here, and actual merman has come to "help" with his insider knowledge.]

I have it on good authority that if you dry out you will die. It's quite a long and excruciating demise from my understanding.

Though you'll likely asphyxiate long before that comes to pass.

[ Two clips come through in quick succession, the first from a young man who clearly has recognition in his eyes mixed in with the confusion. ]

Xie Lian?? What happened to you?!

[ And then a second, a few moments later, a worried face replaced with muted embarrassment and a small smile. ]

...Ah, sorry. I didn't stop to think you probably don't know who I am...

My name is Kaveh. Can I help you somehow?

Whoa!

[He's used to the animal transformations but this is a new one on him. Excuse his bluntness. It's just... how he is.]

What happened to you?
