[anathemaw]

I have no need of thy protections.

[ he can say no by himself!! having so many people discuss him in front of him is somewhat uncomfortable. ]

To volunteer me would be akin to casting away thy choice. Better choices surely may be found amongst the flock.

[hexensabbat]

Yeah, okay, big guy. [whatever u say.] Consider it done for my own peace of mind, then.

Anyway, you know you're matched with someone here, right? That's how the game works. So it's an even chance with sending anyone else in terms of what we gain from it.

[anathemaw]

Aye. Yet only a fool would send two without thought.

[hexensabbat]

Well. Can't deny that.

Any thoughts that might help us out? Doesn't have to be about you, for the record.

[anathemaw]

[ he's quiet for a moment, thinking. The snake at his shoulder lifts its head, apparently scanning the room.

Well... ]

Maya and Verso were quite passionate the night before. As wert thou and Shoko. [ a pause. ] Though she and thee spent long minutes with much of the room.

[hexensabbat]

[messmer: slut]

Yeah, getting to know everyone. I do like Shoko, though. She's fun to be around.

But Maya and Verso, huh? I missed that one! Hmm, I could see them getting along well.

Nice one!

[anathemaw]

[ hmmmmmmmmm... ]

Lightless one. I would ask thee a question harbored these past days.

[hexensabbat]

[And, casually, of course:]

Sure, what's up?

[anathemaw]

Be thee truly a babe of two months?

[ YOU SHOULDN'T BE KISSING ALL THOSE PEOPLE ANIME BABY!!! ]

[hexensabbat]

Oh, that.

[She laughs at that, amused.]

Well, this body is two months old... and I guess so is the personality Ringo. Before that, I was part of an amalgamation of data that built up the AI Aion.

So... sort of? But not really. Not in the same way a human would be.

[anathemaw]

[ wow. he doesn't know most of these words...

but, miraculously, he thinks he grasps the concept. She's a soul in a fake body - or, rather, a piece of a soul. It's not entirely unheard of; it's just usually reserved for divinity. ]

Thou lackest memories from thy time as Aion, then.

[hexensabbat]

[He's doing such a good job.]

Yeah, more or less! They're pretty intangible to me.

[They're not her memories, anyway--not Ringo's memories.]

So I wouldn't really consider myself a baby or anything, but I'm learning a lot as I go.

[anathemaw]

[ this is interesting. His closest friend is an artificial man - one whom most would consider an impure creature shunned by the Erdtree's light. Ringo is clearly no albinauric, but the similarities are undeniable. ]

Thy manner is indistinguishable from a mortal's. None could suspect otherwise, save for thy profile.

[ meaning "man" as in "human," in this case, of course... sorry, Ringo. ]

Wert Aion of flesh born?

[embellwish]

It's not protection, it's consideration. Anyone can see you don't need any protecting, sweetheart...

[ She corrects him without fear. And babygirl-ifies him without it, too. ]

I just think you need more time to get to know everybody first. Nothing wrong with that, like you said.

[anathemaw]

Call me not by such sweet names.

[ EVEN RELLANA ISN'T ALLOWED TO CALL HIM THAT!!! ]

[embellwish]

Hmm? Feeling shy?

[ that is absolutely not it but she can't help but tease about it ...... ]

[anathemaw]

I feel naught but thy disrespect.

[ messmer is no fun ]

[embellwish]

Oh!

[ eyes widening in genuine surprise??? no one has ever been offended by her babygirlification?? and why would they wed all love to be called sweetheart by yingying OTHER THAN MESSMER (IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME.GIF) ]

Is it insulting to call you that...?

[anathemaw]

[ o mother... must he explain this... ]

We are near strangers. Thy honeyed words more befit a child or a lover.

[embellwish]

Where I come from, it's common to call others by terms of endearment.

[ yeah but she also grew up in a house of courtesans... don't worry about it ]

...Do you not like it when lovers call you that, either?

[anathemaw]

[ that explains so much......... ]

I hath not taken one.

[ he's not ashamed of this. ]

[embellwish]

Then we're alike that way.

[ she's not ashamed either! 😇 ]

[anathemaw]

[ ... ]

I believe thee not. Thy manner is of a seducer.

[embellwish]

I'm telling the truth, though. I've never had a romance for myself.

[ She pouts a little, looking off to the side. ]

I know plenty about romance — but never had it, that's all.

[anathemaw]

[ he's hardly an expert in telling if people are lying or not, but this still seems hard to believe. The winged serpents slither forward, peering at Yingying. ]

Thine appearance surely draweth the eye of many.

[ maybe it's a religious thing. ]
