He smiled again and gave a thumbs-up. "You bet!" His voice was high, much unlike his adult baritone, which might further cause one to believe he had not yet reached adolescence. He hopped off the chair and stretched. "What a ride!" He said, throwing his fists and arms into the air and cheering. He laughed, then looked past Nyl, to the hole in the wall. "..Oh.. Uh.."

"Oh, forget about the wall. I've practically rebuilt this room about fifteen times now." She shook her head dismissively. "Why are you...small?"

"'Cause a' these!" He said, and just as he finished his sentence, two black blades shot from behind his hands. "Pretty coo', huh?!" He grinned again, then looked back at the hole. "..I'm not worried about deh wall, Neawah.." He frowned some. "I'm worried about what's coming out of deh forest." He pointed. "Deh Fog. It keeps on following me around,"
Seph's R's sounded vaguly like Double-You's, and for some reason, his form of "Nyl" sounded very southern, thus becoming "Nee-ah-wah."
"but it never really comes in close anymore." He bit his lip.

Nyl frowned again, looking now more concerned than thoughtful. "Spending time in downtown Durem again, huh?" she asked in an attempt at humor. It didn't really work. She recalled the fog, and also knew that it would have more power over her now than it would have had, before. "What do the blades have to do with your height and strange accent? And what do any of those have to do with that fog?"

"Well," he started, "the accent is directly related to my age. I guess when I was actually dis young, I didn't really pronounce all my words correctly. But I have all my memories, I just can't get my tongue to do what I wann' it to do." He moved to the couch and picked himself up onto the arm, turning and sitting to face Nyl again. "And well.. These are kinna' stolen. See, they're real useful, and a lotta bad people and demons would wann' 'em if they found 'em or knew where they were. So, I stole 'em back.. And I guess deh Ol' Hermit leff' a curse on 'em.."
At this, he seemed to pout a bit.

"So now you're smaller. ...That's what you get, thief-sensei. Is that fog chasing you now?"

He nodded and grinned sheepishly. "Yeah. It follows me around, but it hasn't attacked since dat night." He nodded again, to himself. "And not just smaller in size, either!" He exclaimed. "I'm younger, too! Like.. My actual age! I think I'm..five, but I can't be shurr."

"You don't have to actually...grow up again, do you? I mean...if you get rid of those black things, will you become the Seph I remember, again?" Nyl was suddenly very conscious of the hole in the dojo. She fought the urge to try to somehow fix it now, with Tsuchi or Mizu.

He shrugged some. "I've tried to take dem off, but it doesn't do any good." He sighed some. "And I've been looking into it. I'm beginning to fear that I may just have to grow up all over again.." He looked down some. "I can't play my guitar with such small hands."

"You're standing in the dojo, remember? This is the place to solve impossible problems." She smiled, sitting down on the edge of a chair opposite him. "How long until that fog gets here?"

"I hope never." He said, looking back out at it. "It hasn't approached me since I last leff' here."

Nyl let out a relieved sigh. She leaned back into the chair, but instantly sat straight up again, shaking her head.
"Who'd you steal them from, thief-sensei?"
