My cells are always mutating, so I can look like whatever I want... but it's all of my cells, so that's why I forget things. I remember them when it erases, though! I remember everything when it erases, but then I don't remember it at all.
[A pause... and then his face distorts, taking on some of the ones he's seen in Anatole, one by one. Dawn, Bellatrix, Helen, even Ax's human face. So long as he's seen it, he can use it, but the personality behind it is something he has to study for a while in order to mimic, and Ax seems to be a little difficult to grasp.]
[Elfangor feels--not for the first time, and certainly not the last either--the ache of guilt for leaving his brother alone in the war, even unwilling as he was in doing so. And yet, he sees here that Aximili was not so completely alone. These children... who became his comrades, his friends. It is a comfort to know that there were others for him to rely on. (Even though he should have been there for his brother to rely on.)
Even with such heavy thoughts, he cannot help but smile, and even laugh at parts of this memory. Oh, he remembers all too well how it was to first become human. How it seemed so strange that what appeared to be so easy for Loren was so very difficult for him--everything from keeping track of one's surroundings to simply remaining upright.]
I am glad to see that you can manage a simple Frolis maneuver. [Said teasingly, with a grin. Because it is much easier to joke about this than to focus on how, when he had done this himself... morphed human for the first time, he'd done so with the intention of becoming a

Yes, it is something-ing my people developed. It has limm, lim-ih-tay-shun-zuh, though. I cannot stay in morph for more than two hours.
Still, I do not envy the restrictions your version comes with.
