...You are a duck?

[quackingly]

Yup. Just a bird. ...It's weird, right?

[denyinurgod]

You do not appear like one.

[quackingly]

Oh...well, that's because I can turn into a girl.

[brainsnotfists]

I'd say yeah, it is.

Even if you are a duck, you're pretty girl-like to me.

[quackingly]

I feel like a girl...sometimes. But even before people knew what I was I always got told I was "duck-like".

[brainsnotfists]

Aww. Were you awkward when you were younger,and in girlshape?

[quackingly]

Yeah. Really, really awkward. I'd waddle. ...I still sort of do, sometimes.

Ahiru...

[sword_and_quill]

You know that's nonsense. Whether you're a duck or not doesn't matter in the least. Who you are isn't determined by what you are.

[quackingly]

Y-You weren't supposed to see this! FML.

[quackingly]

...I know...I know it shouldn't bother me as much as it does. I just feel so weird. A duck isn't supposed to fall in love with a human boy or want to learn ballet or...or any of this weird stuff.

Not that I regret anything! I just wonder sometimes if I'm wishing for too much.

[pinkikemenhero]

... If they truly love you, they will accept you no matter what or who you are.

[quackingly]

I guess...that's what scares me the most.

[pinkikemenhero]

Why?

[quackingly]

I know I shouldn't think this way--particularly about Mytho and Fakir and Rue--but it's scary thinking that people wouldn't--couldn't--really love a duck. I know that those three will always care about me, but...

[eccentric_ox]

I don't think you're "just a bird." There's so much more to you.

[quackingly]

Wow, I...you think so? How do you know?

[eccentric_ox]

You have thoughts and feelings, just like everyone else.

[quackingly]

Well, ducks can have thoughts and feelings too, y'know.
