-Adria-
Things fall away when Adria is with Jakub. The sky and the sea, the smells and sounds around her all go quiet and blurry. When it first happened, Adria couldn’t look away. That’s still the same now. But after the initial shock of just looking at him like he was, Adria adjusted her surprise and accepted the changes for what they were. The horns, tail, hooves and skin were new traits. Jakub had dabbled in magic. Beqanna was a magical place, so it made sense.
Even Adria had gone through a few changes since childhood. So did her mother, and so did her grandmare.
Which is why she suddenly looks confused when Jakub starts apologizing. For not telling me? She thinks. Not telling me what?
Was Jakub saying that he’d planned a while ago to try and change himself, that Adria was staring at the results? And he just didn’t tell her beforehand?
“It’s alri-” She tries to tell him, then stops. She can’t finish while he’s saying something about them not seeing each other.
“Facil, facil!” The little water mare laughed when Jakub finished. It was hard for her not to switch to her native tongue; she looked flustered and a bit confused. “What is it you mean? ‘A lot has changed’? What? Are you different on the inside too?” The island Dame giggled softly.
No… she would know. Just by staring into the pale blue of the bull-stallion’s eyes she could tell he was fine. Acting a bit silly and sad, but fine.
“I wasn’t expecting… this,” The mare motioned with her nose towards the crown of horns, “but it’s a nice surprise. I’m just happy you came like you said you would.” She sighed happily, her goldenrod-colored eyes narrowing when her cheeks rose in a smile.
Oh my love, don't forsake me; Take what the water gave me
