It’s a shivering feeling that radiates from the pit of Houmei’s stomach or the small of his back, radiating out like an earthquake. His tail twitches. He bounces his leg. His mouth goes dry.
This is what happens when someone asks him where he’s from. Does he hail from Othard? Is he a refugee? Is he hoping to return to Doma now that it’s rebuilding?
He lets those quaking nerves turn into a cheerful smile.
“I’m from the sea! I’ve been sent ashore to learn about how folk live on dry land. I’m the prince of jellyfish!”
They might laugh. They might stare. They’ll probably blink a moment, not sure what to think.
But he’ll feel steady, after that.

“Tony!” Pepper calls and he flinches.
A headache going on day three is sitting like a pulsating rock in his frontal lobe and the pitch of her voice is enough to send a needle point of pain inward.
Pepper pauses, looks at him for five seconds, and then says, voice lowered, “When did it start?”
“On the way home from NBC?” Tony tries because he honestly isn’t sure.
Pepper stares at him. “That was two days ago.”
“Yeah,” Tony sighs.
“Tony,” she says, sounding appalled.
“What?” he replies defensively. “I’ve gotten six hours of sleep the last four nights, I’ve eaten regularly, I’ve only had like four cups of coffee per day, and I haven’t gone over the recommended dose of over-the-counter painkillers even though I know you can go over that and be fine!”
“Tony, that wasn’t criticism,” Pepper says, her expression sympathetic and her hand light on his arm.
“Oh,” Tony says, and deflates. “I’m tired and I’ve been sleeping,” he whines. “How is that fair?”
“It’s not.” She nudges him forward gently and Tony moves as directed, reaching up to dig his knuckles into his forehead. If he presses hard enough, it briefly dulls the pain. “Come on. We’re done for today.”
Tony should protest. There’s still a lot to do. But it feels good to have someone take the reins and he doesn’t have it in him to fight when he wants to do what she says so badly.
