So this is what it's like among the clouds. [She taps the tip of his horns.] To be honest, I'm not sure how I feel about other people using my body. Try not to hurt it, the left shoulder's a bit tweaked.

[governorkang]

I'm not even counted among the tallest of us, Eva. I don't like this situation much either.

[Wow this is weird seeing someone else in his body. And being in a female human body.]

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

To me, anything about six feet is giant. Oh hey, look, I can see over your head for once!

[Her voice is a bit accented as she tries to speak around this new, differently-shaped mouth. She's nearly lisping. She plays with his facial expressions, waggling his eyebrows.]

So...how're we going to break this to Marco?

[governorkang]

[He scowls slightly, watching as she experiments with his body. It's... a little disconcerting, really. It's also really disconcerting to cross his arms over his chest when he now has breasts.]

We're not. We're going to find a way to fix it before he needs to find out.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Agreed. Now. Ideas?

[She stops, seeing that she's making him uncomfortable.]

My scowl's unpleasant from this angle.

[governorkang]

The mage might have an idea on how to fix it. I'm certainly not powerful enough in magic to do anything.

...by the way, I wouldn't suggest you try any of the spells. They can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Don't worry. My first response to having a new body isn't 'tinker with the fireworks'.

...You're alright, right?

[governorkang]

That's comforting. I'd rather it be you than someone that would have that response.

[He'd rather no one get hurt, or his own body. And, he's still trying to speak in his normal accent, and failing.]

As good as I can be when I've been involuntarily placed in the body of one of my best friends.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Thank goodness you got charming old me and not an idiot in your body.

It's alright. We'll figure this out. Favor the right leg if you walk around.

[governorkang]

[That gets a laugh.]

I don't have to worry about you blowing it up by accident. Let's go find the elf.

[He nods. He'd known about her being tortured, but it hadn't really hit him until now how much damage had actually been done to her body.]

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

[Hey, he should have seen her before the Chee patched her up. She was really a mess then!]

As if I could actually figure out explosive magic. I'd probably just end up rearranging someone's eyeballs or something.

I never realized you took such large strides, Kang. Or how much easier it is to balance with a tail. Maybe the Andalites were on to something, making fun of us backwards bipedal fellows.

[governorkang]

It comes in handy. Try not to walk on your heel. You'll end up falling on your ass, tail or no.

[Mostly because it's flat-out impossible for draconians to do.]

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

I'll just try to remember what I learned in dance class...oh God, forty years ago. You're in a painfully ancient body right now, Kang.

[She sniffs.] Oh, God, I need to change that shampoo. I smell like mildew and cheap hotel soap from here.

[The earthy smells around her hands from gardening are much more pleasant.]

[governorkang]

I'm only about two years younger than you. I'm not exactly a hatchling, either.

[What is she - oh. Right. He's acutely aware (again) of how horrible the human sense of smell is. He feels blind.]

Relax, it doesn't smell that bad. You're just not used to being able to smell everything.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Oh, you can't feel the creak of old bones and dusty attics in my body right now? I'm feeling younger than I've felt since I was young. What a difference two years makes, ¿cachai?

God, suddenly smell is a sense I can actually use. This...[she sniffs again] Dear lord, how do you put up with me? Can I turn it off? I'm feeling embarrassed.

[governorkang]

[No wonder she and Trudy had teased him about his Spanish accent.]

...is that what I sound like when I attempt Spanish? For all I know, I've still got a few centuries yet to live.

No, you can't. Most things aren't all that unpleasant. Trust me, you'll know when you're around something that is.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Oh no, don't worry, you sound much worse when you attempt Spanish. [She winks, feeling how strange it is on this foreign face.]

[governorkang]

Probably about as bad as you sound when you attempt Nerakese. Now where is the damn elf?

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Not my fault your language abuses the A S ending.

I think, for once, my eyesight may be better than yours...and yet I don't see him.

[governorkang]

And it's not mine that yours has all those soft sounds I can't pronounce.

It'd bet steel he's in his lab, or off with Celena.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

They're cute together.

[She pauses, looking at Kang in her body.] Do you mind if i try something? It might be unpleasant.

[governorkang]

If you say so. 'Cute' isn't exactly a word we use.

[He looks at her a little bit warily, but nods. He trusts her not to do anything too embarrassing or painful.]

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

But it's a suitable word for them. Celena seems happy, at least.

[She reaches out and touches her - his? - ear, pausing there.] Anything uncomfortable?

[governorkang]

Wouldn't be the first time a dragon and an elf got together, and I'm sure it won't be the last.

[He has to fight the urge to pull away, but he manages to stay still.]

A bit, yes.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

[She recalls her hand.] Alright, so I won't take this as an opportunity to wash behind my ears. I tend to neglect that area. Must be muscle memory, or, I don't know, could be true what they say about holding our memories in our bodies.
