I'm sorry about this but is there anyone who wants to talk about the ocean?

[Happy now, Sherlock?? He's talking about this!!]

Well, not really. Only those with Dendro vision can really heal.

But it must be nice. What is it like flying?

[sunbursted]

Oh. I guess that makes sense.

Freeing, I guess? We have these skygliders at home that we use to soar around the air currents. Helps that most of us have some kind of wind magic, too. So I guess I've grown up on it. But then I learned the change my shape, so I can fly as a bird, too. It's really, really fun.

[ there's a small pause here before she adds on: ]

I also have a spell that lets me transform other people into animals, too. So if you wanted to fly sometime, I could turn you into a bird, too.

[scooba]

....Wouldn't that be scary? Wouldn't turning me into a bird require me to change my bone structure and make me lose my ability to talk?

[sunbursted]

Oh.. Yeah, I can't make it so anyone can talk while polymorphed. I can't even talk in animal forms. But there's all sorts of things we can work out beforehand like signs you want to turn back or if you don't like being an animal. And it's not permanent. I don't have the magic to make a transformation permanent.

[scooba]

I see.

...I'm not sure how to feel about it. It's still blowing my mind that people can turn into animals despite meeting so many people who can do that.

[sunbursted]

Oh, yeah. You're not the only one who's been surprised about it. If you want, I could wild shape in front of you. Show you how it looks.

And if you want to try it, you can, but if it bothers you, I won't ever do anything like it around you if I can help it.

[scooba]

If you want?

I have seen people shape shifting in front of me before. It's just...it never happened to me.

[sunbursted]

That's fair. I understand. It's harder when it's yourself and you don't have control over it.

You don't have to decide now. Consider it an open offer, if you ever want to try it later.

[scooba]

I might.

Thank you though. Because I always wondered what it's like to be a penguin.

now i have to go figure out if keyleth has ever seen a penguin LOL

[sunbursted]

Well, maybe one day you'll find out! And we'll figure out some sign or something, a way for you to tell me you want me to drop the spell and turn you back. So you aren't stuck for an hour if you don't want to be.

MAKE HER GO SEE ONE

[scooba]

Well....let me know when you want me to do that. I'm usually free most days.

it will happen for sure now XD

[sunbursted]

Really, it's anytime you want to try. I'm still trying to settle in here, so I don't have a lot to do yet. Think it over and when you're ready, we can try it. And I can show you my elemental forms, if you want to compare them to your world.

[scooba]

Okay then.

Let me know when you settle down and we can figure things out from there.

I'm in no hurry either.

[sunbursted]

I will!

Oh, I'm Keyleth. I don't think I've said that yet.

Wrapish...?

[scooba]

Oh, I'm sorry about that.

My name is Freminet and it's nice to meet you.
