thinking a lot about just how many pains vrenrin has gone through just to fit in with humans.
Even just walking was probably painful at first - she's heavy, and her feet are absolutely not made for the ground! Not to mention back pain from trying to stay upright and having the tail in a cramped space...
She's found a lot of accomodations since then. A pool to relax in undisturbed, a custom modified diving suit to keep herself damp, not having to wear a helmet anymore....But on days that demand more action, and on days where her ankles don't want to work she still has to bring a cane to lean on. She still has to file down her claws so they won't poke through the gloves, still has to be careful about who gets to know her face.
Does she think it's worth it, to twist herself into a palateable shape that much? On most days yes. Sometimes no.
