I'm on a boat motherfucker take a look at me
Straight floatin' on a boat on the deep blue sea
Busting five knots, wind whipping out my coat
You can't stop me motherfucker cause I'm on a boat
Take a picture, trick I'm on a boat, bitch
We drinking Santana champ, 'cause it's so crisp
I got my swim trunks and my flippie-floppies
I'm flipping burgers, you at Kinko's, straight flipping copies
The Lonely Island ft T-pain - I'm On A Boat

The next day is a headache and a half. Literally.
Turns out Sora's trip to the first aid station revealed the presence of a mild concussion. After he told them he slipped and hit his head on the dock, they patched him up and sent him home. He's been ordered by the nurse and a very stern Shera to stay in for the day.
Sora assures Shera that he's fine but she won't have it. A mother knows best, she says. Besides, he shouldn't be on a boat if there's a chance he'll get dizzy and fall off. No swimming either, she says. Drowning doesn't sound like a good time and Sora agrees wholeheartedly.
Once is enough.
So he spends the whole day in his bed or at his desk reading merfolk biology books. Flipping through the parts on Rusalkas and taking notes for when he gets to the sanctuary again. Wants to be on the lookout for more of those defining traits. Unfortunately, none of Kairi's shelves have much on Leviathans. That stuff, what little there is, is on her laptop which she took with her.
The scales he found on the dock have been swabbed of their mucus. Some of the fluid was put on a slide while the other bit of fluid is run through the small mass spectrometer in the Hikaru's family basement. One of the scales was sacrificed into a fine powder to run through the mass spec too. With any luck, it'll give him some insight into Roxas's mixed biology.
And he's sure it's Roxas's at this point. After studying the scale under a microscope he knows it isn't a typical Rusalka scale. Even compared it to an old Rusalka sample on hand. It's thicker and harder. The size is a little wider than a typical Rusalka too.
⛎Must be that Leviathan part of him,⛎ he muses aloud. They don't have any Leviathan samples for comparison, but it's a safe assumption.
Sora takes some time to draw out the scale, using pencils to bring in the color. A beautiful gold, at the center and amazing blue violet started towards the edges...but not shimmery, he notes. Most Rusalkas have a sparkle to them, but not Roxas. It's dulled somewhat and he attributes that to the Leviathan ancestry too.
Makes sense. What Sora does remember about the Leviathan is that they are ambush predators. Dusky dull scales. Hiding in dark crevasses and waiting for the perfect opportunity. They work together for large prey, waiting for something to run the gauntlet and then BAM! The prey's in pieces before it realizes what hit it.
