"Y-you... you'll s-sound difference once you ch-change, oh, it seems n-nice now, oh, y-yes, b-but y-you aren't *you* and y-you c-can never go back! It's all over! Y-you're... y-you're a l-luh-lab rat now! Y-you are a s-sub-sp-species! Y-you have no r-rights to anything!" She had hit a nerve in the frog-man, even if she hadn't meant to. It seemed months of pent up sorrow were leaking through his watery constitution.

Shenzi pulled her hand away as he grew more and more agitated, a nervous look on her face as she pulled her hair back from her face. She had no clue how to deal with this. "I never said I'd enjoy it." She said stiffly, standing up while picking up the up-till-now-forgotten cigarette, and sticking it between her lips.
"Look, I'm just trying to help. You don't want it? Okay, that's your choice." Shenzi knelt down, picking up her hat again. "Again, I'm sorry for whatever I said. I'm perfectly willing to talk, as long as things aren't being flung back and forth."

Newt fell silent, although the force of trying to keep in his sobs popped out in the form of a sad ribbit. "I... I... I'm s-sorry... I'm s-sorry, I sh-shouldn't have y-yelled, I'm s-sorry... I'm... I'm.. I'm j-just... I'm upset, b-but th-that's no excuse for b-being rude..."

Shenzi promptly sat back down again, a mollified gleam in her eyes. "It's alright to cry and be upset. But taking it out on a friend isn't right." She said. She didn't want to lecture him or make him think the way she did, but those were just her beliefs; if she was pissed, she'd go find a punching bag or something. Though the czech doubted Newt would be able to punch a sack without it hitting him in return.
"It's okay to be upset." She said again, and this time gave him a hug without hesitation. "It's not good to keep emotion inside, cus it messes with your head and makes your life a living hell. Not that this island isn't doing a damned upstanding job of that."

At the sudden hug, Newt stiffened, trembling quicker, his breathing coming in short, raspy hyperventilating breaths.

Shenzi pulled back after a moment, giving the frog-man a quizical look as he started breathing loudly. "Are... You alright Newt?" She asked, frowning.

"F-f-fine, I'm ... I'm f-fine..." he panted, his voice high and weak, "I... I... I sh-should be going, It w-was n-nice to meet you-" He babbled, suddenly pulling away to hop towards the water, jumper and all. "I... I'm s-sorry you'll n-never reconcile with your g-grandparents!"

She didn't move; she just kinda looked at him. "Sure you're alright?" Shenzi asked again, but she couldn't help but grin at what he said. "Oh, I don't plan on it any time soon, and I doubt they do either. Anyways, if you ever want to ring me up or some s**t, I'm in duplex seventy-eight." She said, smiling encouragingly as she stood up again, giving him a wave.

He seemed far too flustered by his own inner drama to note her friendly goodbye, leaping into the water to swim away like a startled frog in a garden pond.
