I can hold my shapeshifting for more than a minute. A whole face. It took some practise, but I'm finally here. Nascha was impressed, so I'll take that as a sign of it working. Now, I need to work on sustaining a face for as long as possible and actually

Lydian? Are you attempting to woo the males and females in your life with ancient texts? I have a feeling only daughters and sons of Athena and Minerva would find Lydian to be sexy.

Not...particularly, no. I'm trying to trace the gods back into history using what little knowledge we have on Earth. I just thought having a companion into town would be more interesting.

[tsumetaiyuu]

You prefer to woo in ancient Greek? I admit, there is a certain je ne sais quoi about the language.

If you share the knowledge on Lydian with me, I would be more than pleased to accompany you into town. I want to try my hand at couplets.

[recluse_cicada]

I don't generally feel the need to woo anyone. Isn't French the language of love, anyway?

But of course, knowledge is meant to be shared. You'd have to give me a week to properly assimilate it, however, I wouldn't want to mistranslate.

I'll go with you.

You should try impersonating Sanada, Yanagi-kun. The words you would have to say are small in number.

[recluse_cicada]

Perhaps Genichirou is a good start. But I shall need a variety of people to practise well.

[applestocacti]

Then, perhaps you should practice romance as Oshitari.

[futureofdata]

May I come along. I know I am not deemed ready for the human world, however, I am 100% positive that with you there, I would be all right.

[recluse_cicada]

I think it would be successful if you came along with myself, Sanada and Oshitari-kun. If we're in a group, it's easier to pass off any blunders. Besides, you are very close to being ready, so even if it wasn't in a group, you'd do well.

I hope that includes hair too, lest everyone is subjected to having the same button mushroom haircut.

[recluse_cicada]

It includes hair. Hair's a lot easier to change than a face, because hair is easier to manipulate than bone.

[inappropuri]

I like that you don't react to me saying you have button mushroom hair. Have you really become that desensitized? How upsetting.

[recluse_cicada]

Two years with your delightful presence will result in that, Niou. Try harder.
