The youngest mermaid stiffened, her back becoming rigid when Reyna asked if she could tell her something. And right then, right there, the gig was up, Reyna knew, Reyna knew everything. "It was the only way, I was afraid that Mama might try to buy their cooperation and then they would betray us!" Asther was crying already, tears leaking from her eyes, rolling down her cheeks in droplets. "S-so I made them an offer they can't refuse... and now it's all a lie b-because I'll die before I can even be of any science use!" Why did everything she try to do always end so badly? She couldn't she ever do anything right?
But she didn't fit on Ogygia, she was a killer, she even killed her own father who loved her so much just because she wanted to set right what went wrong! Even if you could justify it, she still killed her only daddy in the entire world, all for this. Her eyes widened when Reyna started telling her about the mermaids on Ogygia, and explaining just why they were always killing sailors. It was because the sailors killed them first, it was a cycle of revenge and violence. "So I would fit in, wouldn't I? I can... try to have a new start... as a mermaid?" Already her tears were abating, but only because of a sliver of hope gleaming.
Eventually the bath was done and Reyna was all dressed once again. It was nightfall.. and Asther didn't want to sleep alone. "Do you mind... if I sleep with you?" She asked Reyna, not wanting the blind one to be alone either. "Um, if you just want to be with Corona and Dory, it's okay..." She gulped then, the little blonde didn't want to just lean without being leaned on herself! "I-f you need to talk about... anything, you can talk to me." She then offered a rare smile - sad, yet with happiness as well. "And I want to hear more about... my new home."
