So this was what hands were all about. Humans were so lucky!
Tako-now-Matt was waving his hands around. Who cared how he had gotten them? Hands! Fingers! Feet! Toes!
Ooooooh, he'd never seen toes up close before! Stripping the shoes off of his new body, Tako pulled his foot up to his face and peered at his toes. Giving them a good sniff (With his nose! He had a nose!), he decided that maybe they weren't half bad.
Tako was too busy making pop pop pop pop sound effects with his new lips to really pay much attention at first. The man's nudity didn't bother him at all, because human anatomy was all just a blur to him.
"Oh, hi!" he looked behind him for the person Wishbone must have been talking to. There was no body there. "Were you talking to me?"
He threw in a few extra pops, hoping that it was just something people did, and would go unnoticed. It was fun!
"Wait, you aren't Matt?" Wishbone thought, then his face lit up. "You must be in someone else's body like me! I'm Wishbone! I'm a dog, usually, but I'm in a person's body right now."
"Oh no, not at all. I'm Tako!" He said it with the kind of enthusiasm and bright smile that meant he assumed Wishbone already knew all about him. He was Tako, after all.
"I'm an octopus. People have a lot less legs." He held up his hand. "But look! Fingers!" Tako gave Wishbone THE finger. "This is so much fun! No wonder I see everybody do this when they're driving."

Toes! Fingers! This day was fantastic!
((Third time's the charm.))

"Cool! I'm human again!"
And naked. Well, his towel's nearby, but Wishbone's a dog. Clothes aren't high on his priority list. Unless he's picturing himself in a story.
He DID remember to pick up his towel, though, and dragged it along as he spotted Matt, or who he thinks is Matt.

"Isn't this great?" he asked.

That means he didn't even know what the finger meant.
"Like this?" He gave Tako the finger.

So when he sees his body in the Great Hall he heads straight for it. (A little awkwardly, since he's decided to keep the geta on.)
"Kusu, dude, I don't know how I didn't notice this before but you wear purple nail polish and wooden high-heels. Give me my body back."
The fact that he's speaking in Kusuriyuri's low, level voice doesn't help things one bit.

"Matt! Matt! Look! I'm a person again!"
Note that he's still pretty much naked, the towel's on the floor.

"... Wishbone? Uh. I see that. You're also kind of naked."

God he misses his goggles. He tugs the headscarf further down his forehead.

He decides not to complicate things by explaining the differing expectations about nude female bodies and nude male bodies.
