[fffff well goodness, her smile turns into a cringe when they have to find their balance again. This walking and balancing thing is a lot harder than it looks...
His question makes her look up at him again, and... her head lowers a little as she seems to just pause. She's not sure how to say this... "I was once a mermaid, but I got turned into a human"? She's not sure if a human would ever believe that. But it's... pretty obvious that something is wrong, at least.
She bites her lower lip a little, and she... gives a slow, unsure nod. And - well, Ariel figures she ought to try to explain. This person's been so kind so far.
So, she lets go of one hand, though her hand hovers a little with uncertainty over her balance, and then she gestures to her legs before she moves her hand in a wave motion, as if to describe swimming with a dolphin's tail, or even a mermaid's tail. Next, she pats her throat and brings her hand outward, trying to indicate that her voice was taken as well.]
