[b][u]Umiko with Ayame, Kiryu, Vosswald, and Alessia outside the village[/b][/u]

A bath? Food? Clothes? As a fish, Umiko never found the necessity for the first and last items. The middle item, however, she was unsure of. At least until her stomach grumbled. Her look of bravery turned into a look of pain, as if she really needed to use the restroom. Umiko's face scrunched up toward Ayame before slowly returning back to its normal state. Umiko examined Ayame as if she were an alien from another planet, looking at her clothes, hair, and eyes as well as getting her scent. She looked and smelled different from the others Umiko had met so far. Of course, the three she had met before were also fairly strange. Umiko never understood humans, but it seemed that she'd have to learn about them and their strange culture soon enough.

Staring blankly at Ayame, Umiko nodded and followed the girl.
