[Normally, Barry's nervousness is just one of the things that Lup finds completely adorable on him, how his shoulders quiver or his breathing quickens without notice, how all of the sudden the smell of him on the air shifts to something just a touch tastier.
Being a kelpie suits him fine, just like being a snake seems to fit Lup.
But when she's this deep into her shed, five days of this constant itch and complete discomfort, of rubbing her long body up against every table corner and wall in their home, everything about Barry's anxiety just hits all of Lup's nerves in the worst of ways. She's moody, flopped out across the whole of the living room with her long tail twitching this way and that, unable to keep still. Both of her eye scales aren't ready to pop out yet, but they're white and cloudy, blurring her vision just enough to leave her with a splitting headache.
Missing her legs? Ha! That hasn't been that difficult honestly. It's the shed that makes being a snake suck the most.]
Two seconds away from cutting myself out of this thing. [She's not great. But Barry manages to sweep in at just the right moment, switching out an old towel for one that's perfectly hot and damp and soothing with it comes exactly the relief she's needed.] Oh fuck...
[Lup melts into the couch at that, some of the tension in her shoulders disappearing immediately, her whole body going limp under him. If only their tub was big enough for her to fit in, they'd be just fine.]
