Not like it matters. I'm not about to part with my cloak even if I did want to blend in or some shit. It's the most practical thing I own. And it's pretty hot here... is it summer? ... Can you have summer in a world the size of a city?
That's mostly what it is used for where I'm from... Or at least cloning. It's easy to make a body but that's all it is... But I guess there's a mint to be made cloning people's dead relatives and shit...
[Gets broody.]
'Course that's all shit anyway because all you end up with is a blank shell without any memories or personality... But you can't explain that to most people, and the types that like fucking around with that kind of stuff are generally amoral sons of bitches who are happy to take people's money and get on with their research...

I'd rather work with nature than fuck around with it.
You look like a fucking idiot.

If that's the case then what do you look like? It's not like there's much difference. Other than you do your hair like a little girl.

It's the mark of the trade. Nobody's going to take a sorcerer without a cloak seriously.

Whatever. People can look all they want. It's not like I give a shit what some ignorant townies think.

Huh? Well, ah, not as such. ... That's... because you lost the real one in an accident?
[Follows to tree.]
You really look sick...
[Unfastens his cape and tosses it at other-self.]
Here, you can wear my "faggy" cape for a while.
[It is an even 60 degrees inside the cape.]

Ah? It's not to faggy for you?

Ah... Fucking alchemy... Definitely the sketchiest branch of the practical arts...

[IS VERY HAPPY IN IT]
Practical arts? Ah, is it not used so widely where you're from? Where I come from, alchemy is used for just about everything, save raising the dead.
