Little Asuran Box, why am I cold?

[ At least, that's what Asteffiel assumes this thing he's holding is. Hope no one watching gets motion sick, because Asteffiel keeps turning it over and over, trying to figure it out. Enjoy plant-hands, the long leaves of his bottoms, the very obviously grown out of his feet leaves of his shoes. ]

It is still winter, yes, but I haven't been cold while dressed before. [ He finally rights the communicator, studying it a little close now.

Yeah he's made of plants molding itself into a human shape. ]

… Except when I walked into the pond. That was cold. But I am not wet now, so it is not that.

[ Silence as he thinks more on why he could be cold while clothed and not soaked. ]

Where is Crocus? This is not his house.

[ Finally something vaguely important to ask – although he still seems distracted. ]

Comments

[innercactus]

... Sounds like it.

[ He frowns a little. ]

... Benders sound like... Elementalists who pick one element.

[alwayscomeback]

Maybe? I mean, there;s the Avatar, they can master all the elements, but there's only ever one of them around at any one time.

It's a reincarnation thing.

[innercactus]

... Re... incarnation...

[ He has to think on that. ]

... is that like remembering what others have done? Like... Like knowing snow is cold, without ever touching snow?

[alwayscomeback]

Uh...sort of? It's more like...being born again, but as a different person.

I'm not sure how it works, I'm the science guy.

[innercactus]

.... That's weird. Probably good that there's only one. It could get confusing very quickly.

[alwayscomeback]

It's super weird. Anyway,the current Avatar is one of my best friends. So we have a lot of...weird Avatar-related adventures while he tries to master all the elements. He's a good guy.

[innercactus]

Good friends are good. Even better when weird things go on, because the good friends can keep bad friends from happening.

[alwayscomeback]

[That gets...a little laugh. ]

Or turn the bad friends good.

[innercactus]

... Maybe. Some bad friends are very.... bad. Or the bad friends have a lot of other bad friends who keep them bad.

[alwayscomeback]

Yeah, I knew someone who was...kinda that last one? It's long and complicated and concerns a lot of honour and stuff. But he's a good guy now, really. He's a true friend.

[innercactus]

"Honour" sounds a little less like a very bad friend, and more of a confused bad friend. With bad friends making the confusion worse.

[alwayscomeback]

Aaaand that's exactly what happened.

[innercactus]

... Oooohhh.

[alwayscomeback]

But he's okay, now. He knows where he belongs. Mostly.

[innercactus]

Because good friends are good to have.

[ Some serious nodding. ]

[alwayscomeback]

That's one way of putting it, yeah.

[innercactus]

[ It's a very good way of putting it.

... Only Asteffiel doesn't know what to do with this topic anymore. Other than possibly repeat himself, but he doesn't think that's a good idea right now.

Hmmmm. ]
