Is the water manipulation easier like this because you don't have to control your qi as precisely at the same time? Are qi all elemental exclusively, or is there a way to manipulate other elements? Are all dragon demons water dragons like you? Does-- ah.
[ cuts himself off, then. realisation takes a bit but he has been told to be more self-aware. ]
More or less, yeah - less to focus on all at once. And no, it's not all elemental, there are countless other ways to do it. It really depends on the person. [ he laughs lightly. ] There might be other dragons out there, but the ones I know are all like me.
[ and in a blink, he detransforms. he appears mostly human again, but retains his horns and finned ears. claws and fangs, too, if you look close enough, ]
This form's easy enough for any dragon to maintain, even if they're not as good at qi manipulation. We spend most of our time like this when we're somewhere safe.
I know. He was my teammate before. But our situations are different, and I don't want to get too used to this and forget myself when I go back home. It's better to keep the habit going.
I don't know about that. It seems like some humans can use magic like Lady Yunnefer, and others can't. The differences may not be as obvious, but they're still there.
Yeah, I agree. It can be hard, sometimes, when you think you're getting it right only to be told you're wrong, but mostly... it's helpful. Sometimes a little fun.
You're right, usually that's the case. [ places a hand on his chest. ] For me, where I am usually, the best way to understand a fellow player is to fight them. Too many times, talking has given people the wrong idea.
There are things that can't be solved otherwise, but I don't think fighting should always be the first move... You're right, though. Talking doesn't always work out.

Sorry. Yes, I'd like to see your usual form too.

[ the shrinking back down to human size surprises him more than the expanding to dragon size did. ]
I see... keeping some of the features that identify you easily. Why don't you keep this form while you're here?
no subject
I've gotten used to looking human, and I think it puts most of you more at ease when I do - even if you aren't afraid of demons like in my world.
no subject
Stolas is right there, though...

Do you mind? If I touch your horns.

[ he'll fully raise it, then, and the other comparatively to his own curved horns, the ones that transformation week has granted him. ]
They kind of resemble deer antlers, so I wanted to feel if they were similar.
[ are they, ]
no subject
anyway yea idk they probably feel similar enough. ]

[ michiru he doesn't know what that is. anyway FASCINATING. ]
Kinda soft.
no subject
Is it surprising?
no subject
[ okay he will stop touching now. ]
Yeah. Dragons are so different everywhere.
no subject
[ hums. ]
We can't really expect different worlds to be exactly the same as our own, though. It makes more sense that it would vary a lot.
no subject
Humans seem pretty much the same everywhere.

I don't know about that. It seems like some humans can use magic like Lady Yunnefer, and others can't. The differences may not be as obvious, but they're still there.

[ the mysterious yuuna he never got to meet.......... sorry about the capitalism britt... ]
That's a really solid point. You're good at offering alternate perspectives, Leng Feng.
no subject
[ questionable ]
Thanks. I try, at least. I think it's just part of treating people normally - trying to understand how they see things.
