"Ooh, he told you about that? It's becoming a rather cute tradition."

"He said it could affect what power I get and if it doesn't it doesn't matter, right?"

"That seems to be the case. So, which one did you pick?"

"It's one that's all twisty, I can show you."

"Feel free."

So she goes to grab it and show it to Zaneta.

"Well, that's a nice looking one. What're you hoping for?"

"Shapeshifting! But I think it would be nice to be fast like the triplets, too..."

"I'm flattered. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you."

"Hey, Zaneta, would it be alright if I went to the hospital with Sadde? Keep her company?"

"If your tribe can spare you for a while, sure. Although you will have to be dressed for the most part."

He frowns for a second. "That's okay."

She grins and impulsively takes Michael's hand.

"Well, I'll back in a few hours to pick you both up. You'll probably want to wash up first." 

Suddenly, there's a couple of sets of clothes on the kitchen bench. "Those are for when it's time to go. Anything I can do for you before I go?" 

"No, thank you."

"I'll see you both soon." She departs.

"Welp, not putting those on till I have to. Hope I don't have to wear shoes."

"It's so weird that you hate clothes like that."

"Why?"

"They don't do anything and aren't even that uncomfortable."

"They rub against your skin and drag in water." 

"You're not underwater and they don't rub when they're dry."

He shrugs. "I guess I'm not that used to them. The others don't really wear much on the island, either."

"I bet it's because of you."

"What?"
