Now, if only goddess Aqua would suddenly appear as the sister-in-law..
Would've been hilarious in some ways.
On a more "serious" note, not much happening this chapter except for fluff..
What are the chances this would be the calm before the storm?
She got her loyal water(sea?)horse so shouldn't be too awful even if the ship is wrecked.
(They'll continue swimming with their own power!) =p
Oh, as for the toy comparison it's a rather good one, since:
He never thought about her feelings, so she might aswell have been a toy in his mind.
(Only difference really is that she got feelings and he realized that now, and kinda realized he messed up royally aswell.)
