â â Yup, it does make sleeping way easier. I tried sleeping upside down once but surprisingly I woke up all dizzy. â Perhaps lack of habit but her body although weird didnât seem initially designed to do that. Pretty weird. Maybe although she could transform into a bat she didnât share instincts and all that stuff? Well, she was human at the end of the day.Â
â It is a cute name⊠Can you turn into a duck? That could be a reason. â A rather innocent question and, honestly, not that crazy for her standards. I mean, literally every single person she could meet while walking downtown back home had some kind of superpower, it was normal to expect. â ⊠Or perhaps you have bright yellow hair, like a duckâs feathers⊠Thatâs a pretty weird thing to say, sorry. What color is your hair? â  The hair reasoning seemed more likely and, honestly, she would have loved to confirm that herself but, well⊠you canât sense colors through echolocation, no sound involved in colors.Â
â Thanks, by the way. I love my name despite its simplicity. â
âOh, I see...guess that makes sense. Itâs never fun wakinâ up all weird.â Sheâd always been prone to falling out of her old bed at the academyâ sheâs a little thankful that her bed here at least has less of a dropping distance to the floor. Sheâs always shrugged it off as some weird instinct thing since sheâd never had that problem in water ( then again, maybe it was just a sign that child was a restless one even when sleeping ).
âH-Huh?!â Had she done something to give away her true natureâ maybe her lie hadnât been so good? No, sheâs just jumping to assumptions, Kokoâs following comments reassure her of that much. Haha. Ahiru should be glad that she canât see her visible freak-out, even if the emotional pitch of her voice mightâve given her away anyways. âNo, I donât think...theyâd know something like thaâ right away, right? Thatâd be weird, I think...âts just a cute name.â Maybe pretty normal in a town full of humanoid-like animals, but sheâs pretty sure that would be weird to a lot of people! Thatâs ( partially ) why you gotta keep her mouth shut, after all. âOh, my hair? Redâ well, orange-ish. Like a duckâs beak, if weâre goinâ with that line of logic, I guess.â Itâs honestly a mystery to her how most of her...person was designed, really, but even if sheâd ask that voice, she doubts sheâd get a truthful answer. No point lingering on it.Â
âEhehe, well, itâs true! Itâs a real pretty name, even âf itâs simple.â
