[Video] (Immediately after morning training)

[shendefeng]

I've learnt my weapon form! It might have taken some time to completely master the transformation after I promised Mr. Mustang that I would start training, but I think that changing forms will come easier now that I know how to do so

A sword sounds like a great form, Temeraire. Now you just need to train transformation.

[shendefeng]

Yes, it is a good form! Oh, undoubtedly I have a great need to train my transformation speed in order to be more battle-ready in the future.

It seems to have been a while since I've last seen you, though we are neighbors, Jones. How have you been doing?

[erostripperella]

And I'm sure there are many people who would love to try to resonate with you. Swords are quite popular.

I'm okay, thank you. And yourself?

[shendefeng]

Are they? In that case, I think I shall try to see what I can do with those that would like to attempt to do so.

I am quite fine, all things considered.

[Of course, he's putting on a brave face when one considers what he was searching for in this latest batch of people.]

[shendefeng]

I think that a good and respectable "congratulations" is in order, if you would like to wish such a sentiment.

I am small enough to go into any establishment. However, I am not one for grog or the like.

[Did he just say grog? DID HE REALLY JUST SAY GROG? Yes, he is a bit antiquated in his speech, but he's working on it, honest. See, he's even working an apology right now.]

Pardon, that is the rationed drinks that are on ships... but I am amenable to teas.

[spandexisyouth]

It is splendid that you have discovered your form! And changing forms does get easier as you do it more!

[shendefeng]

I will admit that it was rather trying to attempt to do so, but once I understood how to do so, it was deceptively simple. I am still in the process of learning how to do so at instantaneously doing so at will, but if you are confident that it will get easier as I train more, I shall strive for that.

Thank you. Mr. Gai, I do appreciate it.

[spandexisyouth]

It does. I have been training as well.

You are very welcome!

Congratulations, Temeraire! I'm sure you'll find a suitable partner in no time. :)

[shendefeng]

Thank you very much--

[A beat. He tries to think about what to call this person, but he cannot come up with one.]

You will have to pardon me, but I do not think that I quite remember your name.

However, I am... not particularly searching for a partner. Possibly a temporary one, though as for a long term arrangement, I think that would depend on the situation.

[loves_humanity]

It's quite alright! I'm Nakura. I'm a bit forgettable like that, please don't make much of it.

Oh, I figured you'd want a partner. I'm sorry for assuming so.

[shendefeng]

[Which is odd, for he is one with what could be termed an "eidetic memory," (though he wouldn't call it that, for there was no such thing aside from "a great memory" back in the early 19th century) so this does not sit quite well with him if he were to have forgotten something he should have remembered.]

In that case, thank you very much, Nakura.

Oh, pray do not think ill of yourself; it is a reasonable assumption to have, if we are expected to look for partners. I am somewhat open to the idea, but as I've said, more in a temporary sort of partnership.

[It is not that he cannot commit, for that is exactly what he CAN do; it is just his own feelings of attachment for a certain Captain that has not come to this Death City along with him that stops him from outright accepting a new "partner."]

Congratulations, Temeraire! I'm sure your weapon form must look very cool.

[shendefeng]

Thank you very much! I have been training as much as I could in order to get to this point. As for how... 'cool' it is, I think it would be.

[maddogscientist]

I've learned how to change into my Weapon form as well, though I wasn't very surprised by what I turn into.

You know, we should really meet in person at some point. Maybe we could even see what the other one looks like when we're in our Weapon forms.

[shendefeng]

Is that so? What weapon form do you take?

Ah, that is a very good idea. It is not so difficult to do so, and I really would rather much like to meet you, even if we do not change into our weapon forms. You are rather pleasant to speak with.
