[He manages that between gritted teeth, busy bracing himself. No, it doesn't hurt so much anymore, but he hates the feeling. Hates everything about what Oren's watching-- the way his legs fuse together, skin stretching in impossible ways, and then twist into a different shape. Instead of a more straightforward mermaid tail, which might not be as bad, his lower half reshapes to round out in the front, curve back around, stretch out longer and coil at the end.
With the way his fish half's shape curves back, it's more comfortable for him to roll over and lie on his stomach, arms folded on the edge of the tub and hands gripping tight to its rim as the long, fleshy fronds that complete his new form separate out from his body. The whole process doesn't take long-- it's just slow enough that Oren's able to watch its progression, but it still leaves him breathing heavily (even if it's partly just because he's so tense through the entire thing.)]
