"You are not!" Leda gasped.
"It took my family decades to figure out why I was scared all the time."
"I'm afraid of large bodies of open water and my adopted daughter's half Mer, and you're half dwarf who can't go home because of a fear of enclosed spaces." Leda shook her head, grinning. "We need a sit-com."
