Good girl?

… no good girl?

[i]Mid[/i] good-girl?! Now you look here, missy, she is the [i]best[/i] girl and she [i]will[/i] do anything to have you acknowledge it!

Even if, admittedly, things here are. Are, um. 

No, no, see, this was her [i]plan![/i] She's here, she's in the way, she saw them shoot some kind of net out of one rolling massive eye, she's helping!

Even if, you know, this is, uh, you know, uh. She's fine, right? You can't hyperventilate as a whale, scientific fact, probably. Not wearing a collar, check, so so long as the police don't have a collar big enough to fit a whale this will, this will, you know, it'll wear off, and she can--

Come [i]on[/i] already and shapeshift shapeshift change--

Right. [i]Right.[/i]

She's here, and she's in the way, and that guard's shouting something? She doesn't want to be in this pool anymore. If she can get, you know, up on the edge, then that'd at least let her use her tail, right? Splashing isn't much, but it's more than just sitting in a convenient pool. 

All she has to do is get some uppies, right up onto the edge of the pool. She's got this.

It's not that this [i]hasn't[/i] happened, right? S'like, you gotta stretch a bit, keep practicing, be ready to go big, have a spotter ready to pull you out and talk you back into your own shape and murmur appreciatively about how [i]big[/i] that was, you're doing so good!

But it's the first time since, you know.

You know.

She's pretty sure it wasn't this scary before.
