“Well, that’s good. I think this is much better than the more common alternative, but I’d still rather have my legs back.” A pause. “I understand if you don’t want to look at me right now.”

Kaito tried to get a better feel for how to move everything that had replaced his legs so that he would be able to keep his balance better when he decided to move to deeper water. Which would be soon. A twitch here, a wiggle there. It was still weird, but he was getting used to it.

“No, I think I’ll be fine right now…”

He does watch a little as the other started testing the tentacles. Really, it’d be better to get used to them now, in case his double needed help getting more situated later. …Just not going to get too close.
