'I need to work on my disguise.'
[HALE] "Is that so?"
Hale looked up at my horn. It was the most distinguishing thing about a Qilin like me. Behind my horn, I wore a golden circlet with braid clamps and a ponytail band to keep my hair in check in this form. Right now, my reactive armor was still encasing my body, formed of an aquamarine keratin not so unlike the scales my true form was adorned in.
[HALE] "You know, the uh, the horn is quite noticeable... and the ears as well. But overall, I don't think you'd have the worst time."
'What do you mean?'
[HALE] "Immortals with fanciful looks are not uncommon anywhere in the world. In Woldoria here, sometimes one might even see an Einheri. A mystical warrior who has ascended to Woldor's perch and been blessed with powers beyond a mortal. They form the last line of defense for Woldoria in any case. Most people may simply mistake you as one."
[HALE] "And that's not even mentioned the stubby, lovable Fu-Dogs that mingle with us humans in our society out here."
So, I would not have to go to such lengths as to mask my complexion and hide my horn and ears if I did not desire to. That was relieving to know.
I have no idea what either an "Einheri" or "Fu-Dog" is however... I could not verify his claims until I did see one, only take his word for it. For the most part, he is honest with me.
[HALE] "The nakedness of course, that is something I would find tactful to do away with, regardless."
[MAJORDOMO] "He has a point y'know."
Don't rag on me, Majordomo. I've spent most of my life in the forests!
Sigh... but he is right. By cloaking myself better, I'll be less conspicuous to mortals, and less suspect to other Immortals.
[HALE] "You are one of those divine beast types, yes? This humanoid form of yours I assume is not your true one?"
'Correct. This is my 'Incarnate' form, one I assume to become closer to mortals. My true shape is not human at all. I take it when I invoke my inner Therian. This is the same for any deity that is an animal.'
[HALE] "Interesting. If you're fierce in this form, I wouldn't want to see your real one on a bad day."
Hale declared that he was going to retire to the couch in his office, where he made his bed. In the morning, he said he would go out and find me something to wear. Anything I desired. I just had to think up something by sunrise. He needed me for something by then, and I was intrigued to see what it is myself.
For now, I simply watched him go to his office, and I myself retired to one of the various tooling machines in the workspace, floating over it and resting in mid air, crossing my legs in a lotus position to meditate...
