[color=ed1c24]"Oh, thank you,"[/color] Helena replied with a warm smile, not expecting the compliment.  At Edmond's question, Helena shook her head, [color=ed1c24]"I wish it were like that.  As a human, I can swim one side of a pool to the other, but if you ask me to stay in one place, I can't keep my head above the water."[/color]  She paused a bit, needing to think on how to explain her powers.  [color=ed1c24]"Well...  It's like this- I can't fully transform into land animals or fish.  If I transform into a fish on land, I can really hurt myself, or if my lungs transform too I can suffocate,"[/color] she explained, [color=ed1c24]"The same goes if I'm in the water.  If I transform wrong, let's say something like upper half fish, lower half human, I might be able to breath under water, but I won't be able to swim very well.  Even if I fully transform one day, I don't know how a fish swims, so I'd have to learn that too before it's successful."[/color]  Helena realized she might have dragged on a bit, and ran a hand through her hair, slightly embarrassed.  [color=ed1c24]"Sorry if that was confusing."[/color]
