"I'll do what I can." Adella assured Ariel, rubbing her hand, "In the meantime, I want you both to do the same. You've been through enough already and be sure to give my support to Alana. I know she needs it now more than ever."

Alana swam down to the boat, to her little room that she had made more comfortable for herself with coral and sponge. She didn't want to talk to Ariel about her little outburst; she should feel TOUCHED that her little sister wanted to protect her... but she just felt more pained by it. Alana was the big sister, it was her duty... besides, if anything happened to Ariel, Triton would most likely not be able to recover... Not the way he could if it was only Alana.
She had no doubt that her father loved her... but it was a quiet restrained love that was hard to catch glimpses of. Not the Openness that he showed for his youngest. Alana curled on her side on the large bed. Ariel would just have to STOP playing the martyr at the drop of the hat. She usually made things WORSE when she did; it was a harsh accusation, but so far it had been true; the upheaval she had caused by going after the Trident...with a pirate... getting hurt and emotionally scarred in the process, leaving at the drop of the hat for good-natured HUMAN endeavors instead of learning to be an ocean princess her people could rely on, taking her own heart out so she would 'stop hurting' those around her...
The the main reason was to prevent Ariel from getting hurt... but there was apart of Alana that sadly didn't trust Ariel. It pained her to admit that, for she loved her sister and never wanted to fight with her again after everything that had happened... but Ariel was a foolish mergirl, had proven herself to be it time and again. Alana was sure that she would grow from her foolishness one day, look at how far she had come TODAY... finally getting over her pirate or at least enough for her to turn into a mermaid again...
But the way she sounded so desperate to get legs back again, to go through unbearable pain, willing to possibly be a mute and cripple to do so, to jump so willingly at the idea of mutilating herself first to test out Frankenstein's method FIRST... wanting legs so badly she would do ANYTHING no matter the cost...
Did Ariel REALLY have such a low respect for herself and her mer-form? That after only a few hours of having a tail, she was already leaping at the idea of a defective spell or worse? Alana wanted to be human more then anything as well, especially having been a mermaid in this strange world for longer, feeling the ach of being separate from her soulmate... but she was rushing to do harm to herself! It made her...not angry... just... sad and disappointed... that Ariel couldn't see the harm she did to herself, not thinking of what it would to those that loved her. Or maybe she did... but she sure as hell didn't let it stop her...
Alana could hear Ariel approaching and closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. She didn't want to talk about it anymore. She wanted a good, playful day tomorrow with Eric and Ariel. Free her mind of all this darkness constantly around her. Neptune... would she ever feel happiness in it's purest form again?
She hoped so...

Ariel went back down to the ship after bidding her sister goodbye.
"Alana... Are you sleeping?" She asked softly knowing she was probably fast asleep but Ariel just wanted to say she was sorry for jumping on Alana's idea it was her plan and if she didn't want Ariel involved then Ariel would back away.
All she wanted to do was help her sister anyway the pain meant nothing to her. If Ariel was so desperate for legs she could always use the necklace again. Of course she would be back to the beginning and in love with Killian again so it really wasn't an option in her mind but it was there. Alana didn't have anything like that she was stuck unless they could figure something out. So for Ariel she was willing to test it so Alana didn't have to.
Her sister had went though enough pain for her and Ariel felt it was time to pay it back. Alana didn't see it that way of course and Ariel would respect that. She didn't hear anything from her sister so Ariel went to find a place to sleep. Finally after a rather insane and emotional day she drifted off.
