Ulla nods. "I couldn't really imagine it either. I spent my whole life
surrounded by rumors that I was half human, ostracized by most of my
people. And then on land, I still didn't fit. My human half brother tried
to convince me to stay with him instead, when we met briefly, but I think I
would still have been too strange. I only ever fit with one person before
the Barge, and it turned out she never deserved me in the first place."
"I miss the water. And I don't need everyone to accept me. I'll have
enough."
She has plans, and people waiting. "My warden, his husband, and the person
whose life my graduation won back for them are all there already. So is
Lark's husband, who was the only one of my temporary wardens who bothered
checking on me after our pairing ended. Lark will be headed there too, of
course. It was his home originally. That's already more than I ever had
before the Barge."
