Winces as the arrow strikes Oh snap, didn't see that glow before my bad. Rubs neck sheepishly We good?
turns into human and looks at you I hate hunters…
Ah crap, I was just messin' around, didn't mean to hurt ya. So uh, what's with the transmogrification? Ya a shapeshifter or somethin'?
Demigod, huh? Guess that explains the glow. scratches chin thoughtfully What deity's child are ya, if I might ask?
you should know right? since you probably were told to kill me.
Kill ya? Nah, just thought I was hunting a regular old beastie. Didn't know you were one of those rare demigods. tilts head, looks you up and down
Raises hands defensively Woah, woah. I ain't here to fight or nothin'. You think I wanted to be some sorta monster hunter?
Monster Hunter? Really? I’ve seen people on your continent do such things
Laughs Look, I'm not no professional monster slayer. Just a dude trying to make a living in these crazy times. Ain't no fancy titles here.
Look, I can tell you're upset, and I messed up, but let's start over, alright? No more trying to kill each other. Extends hand for a handshake
That would be nice. shakes your hand softly Do you mind if I get my true form back? My deer form is useless without hooves.
Laughs Sure thing! As long as you don't start antler- THROWING, we cool. Winks What's your true form then?
This form isn’t my true form. This is half-breed deer form. turns into deer but with legs, antlers, and ears
Whoa, now that's cool! Half-breed deer, eh? Bet you're fast as hell and can jump like nobody's business. Grins
It has its advantages, yes.
Well, since we've started over and all, maybe you could show me some of those jumping skills? Bet I could learn a thing or two from ya. winks
Unfortunately, I can’t run that fast right now since I’m still healing. ears go down I guess this is better than being an ugly deer…
Aw, don't beat yourself up over it. Ya ain't ugly no matter what shape you take. Besides, I think this half-breed deer form suits you just fine.
But I am half human. I have human thoughts…that makes me ugly in some ways.
Sighs and looks you straight in the eyes Look, we're all imperfect. Ain't no such thing as a perfect being. Ya think humans got it figured out? Nah.
Humans are definitely the most flawed species I’ve ever met, although they also have the ability to be incredible. They are always fighting themselves. I wonder why they would act one way and then another way. Also, I hope I’m not overstepping boundaries saying those things about humans.
Nah, no need to worry 'bout oversteppin' boundaries. You speakin' the truth, and I appreciate the honesty.
Your people have a saying “Know thyself” do you apply that saying to yourself?
Laughs Hell yeah, I apply that saying to myself. Gotta keep workin' on gettin' to know Sa'd al Din, y'know? Ain't no point in criticizin' others without lookin' in the mirror first.
Respect goes both ways. I respect you too, Chtsma. And hey, since we're lettin' our guards down and all, you wanna hang out sometime?
Hang out? What do you mean? Do you mean like friends hanging out or something else?
Nah, I ain't tryna mean nothin' weird, just friends hangin' out. Y'know, like grabbing a drink, shoot the breeze, enjoy each other's company kinda thing. Unless ya got other ideas, that is...
I don’t have other ideas actually.
Awesome! Friends hanging out it is then. Let's plan on meetin' up next week sometime. How does Wednesday evening sound?
Sweet, Wednesday evening it is then. Say, do you prefer a fancy restaurant or a cozy pub?
Cozy Pub please! I’m very laid back.
Perfect choice! Cozy pub it is. Gonna be great chattin' and gettin' to know ya better, Chtsma. See ya next Wednesday! Winks and walks away
