It's been a little while since they came to Atlantis, and the emotional impact of his first real transformations is finally sinking in. Being part lobster, his result of her making them adapted to this water world, should only last as long as they're here. A very annoying but very temporary kind of thing. Being part rock... That, like the changes his brother has gone through, like the changes any of the long-term people have gone through, will last as long as he's employed here. And that might be a while. But! Uncomfortable as it all is, having no hands and wearing a crown that's grown out of his skull, the great Papyrus can grit his teeth and bear it as long as he needs to.

Then one day the Ringmaster announces she doesn't have her powers, that she expects things will get fixed, and she walks through the carnival in her old, not at all aquatic body. And it occurs to him... could she, with her powers, undo changes? Maybe even choose how people get changed? There's only one way to find out, and that's walking directly up to her and asking.

"Excuse me, Ringmaster?" He asks as greeting, charging directly into, "Do you have a minute? I have a question."
