◎ Iona, have you ever considered shedding your seal skin permanently?
Had she? That was a good question. Iona thought about it very briefly before shaking her head. “No.” she answered in honesty. “It’s a part of who I am, of who I’ve always been. I wouldn’t be myself if I wasn’t a selkie anymore. Then, I’d just be a human, and not a very interesting one at that. My human life is very dull, you see.”
