“Well?” the Novice demands, doing a twirl to show off the entirety of this false form. “What say you? Is it not amazing work?”
You acknowledge the craft, levelly and with neutral tone, and the female… Pouts?
“I am underappreciated in my own era,” she laments, crossing her arms beneath her mammalian chest-glands. “I am surrounded by fools who lack the knowledge to even appreciate their own ignorance.”
Still, the tutelage was no waste this day.

With a couple more lessons, you might even be able to make small cosmetic changes—such as the Novice demonstrates by shifting her false body’s proportions and colouration ever so slightly.
“Perhaps we can even get rid of your ape-fluff,” she teases, swatting at your hair with a laugh.
“Perhaps,” you say, not yet committed to the idea.
“Well, that concludes the lesson plan,” she says. “You may take your leave and give me some peace from your sex-stench, if that is all?”
You hesitate. She raises an eyebrow. Why is she still in that form? Why is she still nude?!
What do you do?
