[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.

[idly considers how that would work. he's used to albinism, but that's about it. maybe things just work differently in other worlds.]

Does that mean your usual looks take after your mother?

[akito]

I can show you what Gazelle looked like.

[ there is practically no difference, so it doesn't take much effort to shift into the form of his 'previous' self. her chin is the smallest bit less sharp, and eyes a half-shade less vibrant a gold.

she's also taller but that's irrelevant on video. so are the wide hips and breasts he doesn't bother with, since female generally implies those two things anyway. ]

She looked like this, but taller.

[slightly narrowed eyes]

I can barely tell the difference between you and Gazelle. You really are her spitting image.

[akito]

[ shifts himself back to his Kaito-resemblance face. bam. ]

Un! It's probably why Kaito-nii believed I was his kid.

[valevectorian]

[odd sideglance. hard to tell what's going through his mind there.]

This shit sounds way more messy than it probably is.

[akito]

Messy? I don't think it was.

[valevectorian]

If you say so. I'm not going to ask further.

[Asking would mean showing too much interest in others and old habits like never giving people a reason to want to get close lest they be caught up in any conflict surrounding him die very hard.]
