“W…well will your wings get bigger eventually?” He asked tipping his head to one side. “I mean. What about if you swap to your natural form then?” “If it makes you feel better though, I don’t fly well for whole other reasons.” He laughed a little bitterly. “We should practice together some time, I have to get used to …swimming and flapping at the same time. It’s a bit like, pat your head and rub your belly at the same time. It’s really frustrating how some of our people can get it right away but I seem to be… I seem to be innept like everything else.” His shoulders sagged gloomily. “Maybe my siblings are right…. Maybe I should just go to the…” He stopped and shook his head flushing. “…Do you, swim?” He grinned.

"When I swap to my natural form I can't wear shoes." She made a face at that, seeming as though she rather liked the idea of wearing shoes. She did, as a matter of fact, more so because there were some shoes that gave her just enough of a height advantage that she felt a little bit more important. The face that she was making softened slightly into a somewhat sad look and a furrowed brow as she listened to him down himself. She knew the tone of voice all too well; it was one that she had taken often enough when speaking of her home. It all seemed to turn around quickly, though, and she was soon smiling right along with his grin. "Well, I can dive and I don't down if you throw me in the water, if you count that as swimming." She smirked. "I'm not as graceful in the water as the dolphins are, though."

He laughed at her description of her swimming abilities. “Well, if you want I can teach you better how to swim? It’s probably just as good to strengthen your wings as it is for me? I mean… we might want to treat yours a little but … It’s ..it’s fun?” He offered. He looked thoughtful and then added. “You could just wear…anklets in your natural form?” He looked down at his own feet and wiggled his toes. “…I’d rather spend time with… just my upper half looking this way and do a proper slither or fly.” He folded his arms. “Limbs are weird when you grew up with wings as the closest thing, arms are strange enough and I still don’t like sleeves.”

"We wear simple things back home... Nothing like this." She gestured to the fashionable outfit she was currently wearing, trace of a smirk curving her lips. "I also bet the water around here, at least the lake, definitely not the swamp, would be less harsh than the salt water seas where I'm from... And I honestly don't know what I'd do without fingers. It would be so hard to make jewelry, wouldn't it?"

“Well… as long as you avoid silver then you should be fine with a few more ornate things that can translate well to your natural form.” He said with a decisive nod. “I’ll give you some of the golden earrings that my people make.” He informed her. “They might take a bit of getting used to though, they are kind of heavy you know.” He reached up and gave a light tug on his own earring thoughtfully.

"So... Your people have something against silver?" She smirked, casting a sidelong glance in his direction as she twisted one of the silver rings she wore, this one particularly on her thumb. "Not that I would complain about borrowing a piece of your jewelry. It looks heavy. I imagine it's a sign of great strength to be wearing a lot of it?"

“NO!” he said in surprise. “Just… gold is considered prettier, its more …colorful. Its like the sun, and silver is more like the moon, but its also kind of close to…white in a way.” He shrugged. “All my adornments would probably have been silver if I hadn’t been given mine by my mother.” He batted at one of the earrings with his fingers. “Gold is easier to mold anyhow if its pure, softer this way so you have to be more careful, but at the same time it means you can do more with it I guess. I never learned the arts of crafting it, but others have!” He shrugged slightly and thought for a moment. “It doesn’t bother me, but I’m not terribly strong, or at least I don’t think so. We can try some on you, maybe it’s just a matter of getting used to it. I wish it made me a better fighter.” He grinned and turned a light pink where scales didn’t cover it, though even they picked up a light rosy hue.

" Practice makes you a better fighter; skilled opponents and talented sparring partners." She stated simply in a very 'to the point' tone. It sounded almost as if she was reciting a line that she had been told time and time again. It was almost as though she could hear the sound of training sticks whacking against one another in the background along with the stern tone of the instructor's voice. Aldara shivered, feathers rustling before she shook off the odd feeling. It took another brief pause and a blink or two before she settled herself back on track. "We could spar, if you would like? I could go easy on you... Or promise not to." She grinned.

Pachua blinked and then nodded. “Sure…why not. I keep finding people who seem interested in that.” He looked troubled for a moment and then nodded with a smile. “If hunters are real after all, and… all these strange things keep happening, I’ll have to get better if I want to protect the people I care about. It’s no good at all if I just can’t really do anything, if I’m just dragging them down or making it worse.” "It just…wouldn't do if I let you or any other of my friends dissipate you know."

" Lots of strange things happen here, Pachua." The harpy ghoul grinned, giving him a solid clap on the back. "All that means is that it is best to be prepared for it and, amongst other things, that is what we're here for; to prepare ourselves for life, the universe and everything."
