Liz continues to play with her new found ability.  It's a little difficult at present, considering the buoyancy of her belly.  It makes her unable to go more than a few inches under the water, and makes any real swimming impossible.  But she still is able to rest with her whole head under the surface and marvel at her new power.  Eventually, though, her fingers and toes begin to wrinkle.  Deciding to take that as a reason to get out, she paddles herself over towards the side and sits on the stairs.  She feels clean and relaxed, and strangely happy.... despite the fact there's some tentacled beast growing inside her.<br/><br/>Standing, she finds a towel and dries off.  As she drags the terry cloth over her skin, she feels a couple more patches give way.  Looking at the one on her shoulder, she's puzzled to see it seems more yellowish than before.... and the scales seem to have developed a greenish tinge around their edges.  Shrugging, she gets dressed and waddles back into the hall.
