Uhm... Dust? Has anyone seen him today?

[ It's Kairi's voice coming out of a feline-vulpine-ish face. She's more shocked and confused than anything. ]

Oh I wish Kaden were still here... or Nyanta...

[ She doesn't remember that there were talking anthropomorphic creatures from her world, but she's been friends with them here long enough that it's more her becoming one that's the weird bit. She never saw Sora change appearances when going between worlds either. ]

Did I even get this to turn on? I'm missing a-- Well, my hand is different, so this is pretty difficult. Can anyone hear me?

text: from Dust

[mithrarin]

You look.... good?

Something went really wrong here, didn't it.

Dust is human now right? Despite icons (still video from Kairi)

[pure_radiantics]

DUST! Oh there you are. I could really use some advice right about now - and no it's not about headphones.

Yep, I can't find a good one anywhere

[mithrarin]

I... get that impression, yeah. Are you okay?

Gotcha

[pure_radiantics]

Mmm - physically, I think I'm fine. I guess that's kind of what I wanted to check on. I feel okay, for the most part... I think it's mainly my equilibrium trying to walk with such better hearing. I'm afraid to go flying now.

[mithrarin]

How do you manage to walk without a tail?

I feel like I'm about to fall on my face with every step I take.

[pure_radiantics]

You lost your tail?!

[ Knowing Dust, she's thinking like... in combat. Not changed into a human being. ]

[mithrarin]

You're not the only one who changed, Kairi! I think you got the fur I lost!

[Not -- literally, but she gets the idea, right?]

[pure_radiantics]

You... lost your fur too... you became human?

That's...

[ She gets it now. Doesn't mean she understands why. ]

What... do you look like?

[ Since he's still over text and she feels like that was on purpose. ]

[mithrarin]

Like a human. Ears down where yours are. No fur. No tail.

I don't think I've ever really realized that humans have five fingers up till now. I knew it, but actually living it...

[He isn't certain how to describe himself as a human save for what he's done.]

[pure_radiantics]

[ That makes Kairi chuckle a little. ]

Yeah... That was one of the first things I noticed too, I admit...

[ She chuckles again, before sighing quietly. ]

Wow... I think I really did get your fur... no one else changed quite like this that my friends are aware of...

[ She sounds apologetic. ]

[mithrarin]

To be honest, I really don't mind. Seeing you is like seeing a familiar face I haven't seen in years. I get used to being the only Warmblood here, but that doesn't change the fact that I am.

[pure_radiantics]

Hey now, humans are warmblooded creatures too!

[ But she's teasing. She does get it. ]

... I'm glad you're not mad, though. The way you were texting me at first, I was worried.

[mithrarin]

I wasn't in a hurry to be human, is all. I know it's not your fault. Why would I be mad at you?

[pure_radiantics]

Oh not mad at me, I guess... just mad in general.

[ The way she's seen him sometimes. ]

Just... since how you are is so important to you and all, like you said. Being a Warmblood. It sounded like not being one might have been... hard on you.

[mithrarin]

I'm not much of anything I want to be, so what's one more on the pile?

[pure_radiantics]

Still... I'm sorry to hear that.

Even if you don't mind seeing me like this, would you rather be alone until this wears off?

[mithrarin]

I'm not going to turn anyone away. I just... don't want to be gawked at by everyone, you know? That's why the text.

[pure_radiantics]

Gawked at? Why would...

[ She kind of feels like people would be more likely to gawk at her as she is now, and understandably isolating feeling for Dust when they've talked about it.

But now? While he's human? ]

Did you lose your hat too? I know that eye contact is a little...

[mithrarin]

[Kairi has a lot of friends, and Dust figures that humans would still find her very pretty. As opposed to him...]

I still have my hat. To the dismay of some, I'm sure. Really, it's just that... people are used to me being different.

[pure_radiantics]

Alright, fine, I won't try to convince you then.

And if you don't want me to see you, then I suppose I can't argue with that either.

But you're still welcome to come talk to me in person if you want. I'll probably be riding Nimbus more than usual if I can't figure out my balance problems.

[mithrarin]

Honestly, Kairi, you're fine. You're my oldest friend here, you know. You can come by if you want.

Don't fight the tail. It helps your balance. Try not to think about it and it should just fall into place naturally.

1/??

[pure_radiantics]

[ Wait, did he just- ]

2/??

[pure_radiantics]

[ He did. ]

3/??

[pure_radiantics]

[ He called her a friend. ]

4/??

[pure_radiantics]

[ No, not just a friend, his oldest friend. ]
