I'll help. Just tell me what you need me to do.

[deretsune]

I-it's okay, I like cooking...

[gestaltwandler]

A lot of people stay here, so I don't mind. But I'm rusty; it's been a long time since I've cooked for others. [shrugs a bit] Up to you if you trust my help.

[deretsune]

N-no, I do...

...U-um, if you'd really like to...

[gestaltwandler]

I'd like to. There's a lot of people to cook for anyway.

[deretsune]

...A-alright. Thank you...

[gestaltwandler]

You're welcome.

[deretsune]

[ are we still holding hands... ]

[gestaltwandler]

[. . . only until people stop giving us those looks . . . ]

[deretsune]

[ ...i'm

surprisingly okay with this '^' ]

...U-um, where could I sleep...?

[gestaltwandler]

[okay '-']

Ah - we sleep over here. [gestures to a corner of the wall, with a blanket and whatnot] Preußen and Zexion, and I sleep in another form. So I'm not taking up space.

[deretsune]

[ Thoughtfully; ]

...I could sleep as a mouse...

[gestaltwandler]

[. . . l-lips twitch]

That's an idea. I don't know if I can manage something that small. I'm limited here.

[deretsune]

...How so?

[gestaltwandler]

Or I should say, if I manage it, I'll get stuck. I was stuck as . . . that other form, the other night. Only until the morning, but it was frustrating. I can't talk when I take an animal's form.

[deretsune]

[ ...??? this is so confusing ]

...Do you... run out of energy? You have no core form, right...?

[gestaltwandler]

[tilts his head]

I don't have a core form, no. What you see now could be considered one, I guess.

[deretsune]

[ ...Shifts, a little, obviously confused. ]

When I... when I'm really tired, or I can't think straight, I just turn back into a fox.

Um, but this form I've been using for so long, it's very easy...

[gestaltwandler]

[nods]

I can keep a form for however long I want to. But I can't shift if I'm exhausted, or hurt badly.

This is what I looked like, when I first hit this age. [shrugs a shoulder] I decided to keep it, and just change what I needed to, as time went on.

[deretsune]

...I-I see.

[ Seems. slightly embarrassed. ]

[gestaltwandler]

[. . . tilts his head, curious]

[deretsune]

[ Heeesitates, but. Looking away. ]

...I-I haven't changed this form at all in a very long time... U-um, physically, I mean.

[gestaltwandler]

Ah. It's hard to explain what I do without sounding strange.

[deretsune]

...Okay.

[ how bad could it be really ]

[gestaltwandler]

My "family" has a long line of men who were soldiers.

They're all me. So I change enough to look like me, but different. Like my "son" would.
