[he shrugs.]

The idea of another lifestyle is as foreign to me as being surrounded by others is to you.

[globs]

It doesn't seem that way. You're doing fine here. Everyone likes you.

[nonbelligerent]

I like humans, and I appreciate many things about their way of life.

But I certainly don't see myself as one of them.

[globs]

... What are you, anyway?

[ he never answered before. ]

[nonbelligerent]

Sura.

he definitely told them that before didn't he... SIGH

[globs]

And "Sura" are different from humans because they're immune to poison and live a long time...?

pats

[nonbelligerent]

Not quite. We're fundamentally different from humans in many ways.

[globs]

You look like them, though.

[nonbelligerent]

So do you, technically.

In any case, that's only in this form. I do have a form that looks very different, though I can't change into it here.

[globs]

That's because... we used to be part of the humans.

[ or so they say. ]

You can change your body?

[nonbelligerent]

Yes. My sura form is more animalistic in appearance.

[globs]

[ huh. ]

Like the horse...?

[ THEY KNOW AN ANIMAL ]

[nonbelligerent]

It does resemble a horse to an extent.

[normal horses don't have horns. among other things.]

[globs]

[ hot damn, they guessed right. Somehow?! With the one animal with bones that they know!! Amazing. ]

Lucky guess. [ they won't pretend otherwise. ] There are only "invertebrates" on my world. They don't look like any of these animals.

[ ... ]

It must be nice, to be able to change your body.

[nonbelligerent]

[hurrah for swift wind]

I suppose. I typically only use it for combat.

[globs]

You just don't know how lucky you are. That ability is like a miracle to someone cursed like me.

Yes, to have power does make one very fortunate, especially depending on their surroundings.
