"Not for...two years. The last time I was here, my last mother had died. I hadn't had a reason to come back till now." He couldn't believe how clear the water was, how soothing it felt on his skin.

"I have no blood relatives left. Veles is the closet thing I've got to a brother anymore and Hawthorne is the closet thing I've gotten to a sister. They're my family now." Inebar swam closer to her.

"Yes, but sometimes I crave more." He shrugged, oftentimes Veles and Hawthorne were plotting their scheme of domination. It could get rather boring and lonely during one of their week-long plotting sprees.

Inebar shut his eyes for a moment. "More friends, more ponies that I feel comfortable with. And sometimes, I want more than that. More than just friends..."

"Families are nice things too," she agreed softly. "I wish I could see more happy families in these waters but with so few of our people swimming around...well, maybe, hopefully sometime in the near future..."

Inebar nodded. "It is rare." He shrugged his shoulders as he gazed at her for a long moment. "You know, I've almost stopped thinking of them like that, as my people that is."

"But being of our kind, does that make me one of us if I have forsaken the customs of my people? If I have left the waters and can no longer call them home? Doesn't it make me one of you, only by looks?"
