[Honestly, Cherryblod doesn't think much of the change.
All shrimp start out as males physically and turn physically female sometime in their adulthood. Some think of themselves as men all their lives, some decide that their mind matches their body now. His parents had both called themselves his mothers, and his grandfather had staunchly refused to call himself anything other than a man. It depended on the shrimp, but everyone went through the physical changes.
When it happened to him, Cherryblod didn't see the need to tell anyone except for Doloz. They couldn't have any more children, but Doloz understood, and no matter what his physical sex they loved each other dearly. He didn't feel mentally different, and his suits still fit alright with some minor adjustments, so he just lived as he always did, for many years.
Right now, Cherryblod is changing out of his suit and into something more comfortable. He's just about to put on some pants when someone opens the door to his room.
He turns a bright red and covers his chest with his arms, but it's almost certainly too late to hide anything.]
Could you knock?

Thank you. [Pause.] Don't ever tell my wife about this, she would be upset with you.
[And the last thing this place needs is a fight between a giant lobster and Wadanohara.]
no subject
That'd be kind of rude. In my defense, I didn't come looking for a really hot father, and I doubt you wanted anything to do with me. Life's cruel like that.
[ She's good enough to turn to at least go outside so he can change though. ... But she's not making promises about maybe putting spells on the walls or something okay. ]
no subject
Once she's out, he sighs and changes into his new clothes. They don't feel tampered with, so he's able to start to relax.
If there are spells on the walls, he doesn't notice.]
no subject
Okay yeah she's satisfied, Lobco and Doloz would kill her if she kept using magic to peek, she'll stop for now. But that answers a lot of questions, huh. Nothing else is tampered with or anything. She used her regular magic--not the Red Sea's--for that. ]
no subject
You've done this before?
[Well, it would explain her clothes...]
no subject
... Twice. The first time was out of necessity.
[ ... That's all she's going to say. In other words, Tatsumiya's beautiful blue outfit had been so badly shredded and covered in her own blood that she had to make a new one for herself, and once she'd gotten over that stage where she'd not moved, spoken, or done anything for awhile, she... couldn't just sit there mostly naked. ]
... My clothes seem to get ruined a lot, so I had to study up on it...
[ For... various reasons. Her own clothing is blood magic, though. It's just easier, at this point... something malleable. She gets injured or coated in the red stuff pretty frequently these days. For one reason or another. The only reason she lacks scars is because she can heal. ]
no subject
That makes sense. We get into plenty of fights here, so I imagine they'd be torn.
...Do you think we'll find a way home soon?
[Topic change away from clothes. And even further away from his nudity.]
no subject
... Who knows. I'm sure we'll figure it out, but... I'm not particularly knocking this vacation. It's been fun! But everyone else should definitely go home... so hopefully I can find a way to send us all back to our respective homes eventually.
no subject
[That's what Doloz does, she worries.]
no subject
[ Leaving him all locked up by himself is a sad thought for her. ]
I was hoping I'd see him here, honestly...
no subject
[While he won't give Sal the time of day or help him find anyone, Wadanohara is different. If anyone could help Wadanohara at all, it would be Samekichi, wouldn't it?]
no subject
[ She'd love if he'd actually talk to her, but... ahaha. ]
no subject
[Well. He doesn't blame him.]
no subject
[ Well, nothing seemed to work. Not even seduction. She's at a general loss. She'd tried. A lot. If only she could get him to see... ]
I'm mostly just worried about leaving him alone down there.
no subject
I'll see if I can talk to him, if he shows up. If not...
[He can't say 'trust that he'll be okay' because not even Cherryblod's optimism can say that Samekichi will be okay.]
no subject
[ She's realized by now how stupid she was. She loves him, but it's too late... ugh, what an idiot she's been... ]
no subject
[It's a lesson he's failed to apply to himself.]
no subject
[ So very happy. She doesn't know WHAT you're talking about. She's always smiled when she shouldn't; it's a bad habit of hers. She doesn't like worrying others. ]
Even if things seem bad, it'll be fine.
no subject
[He can't help but fuss. It's a natural father's instinct, and it's sad to see her always smiling.]
no subject
... Fukami... says that too...
[ She's not going to admit she's not happy, though. That'd mean admitting her life isn't perfect now. ]
But I'm a representative, of sorts. If people saw me being negative, it'd only make them unhappy.
no subject
no subject
... Did you run into Princess Uomi while you were here yet? She'd tell you otherwise. ♪
no subject
no subject
... You and Lobco come from a much nicer place. Right...?
[ ... Stop pretending to be Wadanohara, huh...? Maybe Uomi was right. Maybe she should find a new name. ]
... I should stop calling myself that, shouldn't I... father's name doesn't really fit anymore. "Wadanohara"...
no subject
[Hearing that she doesn't think she fits her name anymore... makes his heart hurt.]
You should call yourself whatever you want. Your father's name, or whatever you want to be called.
