[The sight that is revealed in the locket first appears to be a stranger, a seemingly unfamiliar brunette appearing within it. But there soon enough comes a large smile, one that's most definitely been seen by some around the Drabwurld, a signature grin that would normally belong to a certain mischievous winter spirit.

Except now, the spirit isn't a spirit at all, or he doesn't seem to be. Because sparkling blue eyes have now transformed into a simple chestnut color and pale skin has become naturally colored flesh. What once was a notable ice spirit has somehow become a human.]

So I decided to try a little makeover—you know—do the whole dull color trend, blend in with the scenery, that kind of thing.

[What he tries to portray as disinterest is easily betrayed by his widening smile, obviously revealing just how excited he is about this.]

What do you think? Does it suit me at all?

( ooc: his icons will still have his white hair, but he'll still be in his human form throughout comments / the change comes from his boon, a necklace that allows him to change into a human when he wears it )

I mean, I've seen it, but I've never ... [He sighs, giving a chuckle as he shrugs.]

I don't really know what it feels like. Really tasting things. Feeling warm. Those kinds of things.

You don't know-? [ She sounds a bit surprised by this. ]

Truly?

Then there must be other things as well.

There's ... a lot of things. Plenty that spirits don't get to have that humans do.

Geez. All the spirits I know are jerks and gluttons. [ Not too far from a lie. ]

All right, so you're trying out this mortal thing just for the experience and then what? What if, you know, you like it more than being a spirit?

[What if you like it more than being a spirit? His heart practically sinks at the question.]

It wouldn't matter if I did or not. Even if I wear the necklace, I'm still a spirit. I can't really change that.

[ Oh. She misspoke and said something hurtful, didn't she? Rin's not the type to make amends so quickly after she makes an error, so she just nods. ]

I understand.

--but this world's magic is strange.

It really is. [After all, he didn't exactly to get this at all. Being able to be normal even if it was only temporary was still such a chance gift.

He's quiet for a moment before speaking up again.]

I thought this was what I really wanted. And I still do, but ... someone told me I was okay just the way I am. [Perfect was the word used, actually.] Being a spirit isn't always what it's cut out to be, but I think ... I think I'll stick with it for the most part. This— [He gestures to the necklace.] —I'll just use from time to time if I'm looking to eat a nice meal or something.

Oh, you've had one of those lessons?

[ Disappointment crosses her features briefly. For a moment, it might have appeared as though she intended to give him the same speech. ]

It's good to be proud of what you've become even if the circumstances were out of your hand. Making the best of your situation is ideal.

It is. Kind of like getting stuck in this place. A lot of people complained, but— [he shrugs] it really hasn't been so bad.
