[akito]

Um...

[ there's a familiar voice to go with a... vaguely familiar face. the features are shaped the same, but gold eyes are now a light, silver blue with hair a silvery white to match. it falls over thin shoulders in wispy waves, cowlicks more apparent now than when his hair was short. ]

This is Akito!

I learned how to shape shift a while ago... I don't do it all of the time like the kedan, but I like to sometimes for fun. I felt like trying something new, and I ended up liking this face enough to use more than once!

[ it's easier to hold a shift if he has a good mental picture of what it looks like, though he never bothered coming up with new faces to keep before. ]

So, ah... If you see a person looking like this, it's me.

[unetrustworthy]

[Huh. Interesting.]

How did you learn? Was it here, or did you know back where you came from?

[akito]

I got it here as a mystery gift!

[unetrustworthy]

[The only surprise behind that statement was the mystery part; Midii recalled, long ago, how she had been given a Gift as well. A gift she no longer possessed, because the giver had been...defeated.]

You're saying you don't know who or where it came from?

Doesn't that worry you?

[akito]

It was left on my doorstep. There isn't any Taint on it, and it isn't physically bonded to me so I'm not very worried.

[unetrustworthy]

...I'm not sure what you mean by Taint, but nobody suspected anything about the Boons we were all given a while back, either.

All I'm saying is that maybe you should be careful about using it so freely.

[akito]

Taint. The darkness indicating something contaminated by Malicant. I think that the boons were too integrated into us to get a good reading.

Who says that I haven't been? Even if something like the Boons happens again, it isn't an issue for me. At his full power he couldn't control me beyond a few moments.

Besides, if anything happens I can just get rid of it.

[unetrustworthy]

[It probably spoke volumes about Midii's lack of knowledge in this particular area. She only knew what she knew, and that was the last time she'd received something like that, it had come from Malicant.]

Are you sure?

[akito]

Mn, yeah.

[unetrustworthy]

...alright.

[There was little else she could argue, then. She didn't know magic. This person obviously did.]

Just...be careful.

[akito]

Of course!
