Loss Start - He Did Not Approve This Surgery

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

[Morning]

[Oh Paradisa. It is such a lovely morning isn't it? Birds chirping outside, gentle, crisp, autumn sunshine. It's one of those days you just want to laze about in bed, stretch a bit and maybe curl up to that special someone, and - ]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Hear a very feminine scream of panic. 

Now, normally, Ashura does not panic, but this... well, this is well worth the panic.]

[Afternoon]

[Having calmed down some and somehow being assured this was neither permanent nor probably long lasting, Ashura is out and about, walking around the Castle in his brand new body. He is trying not to feel to uncomfortable in perhaps the most modest outfit he could find in his equally changed wardrobe, and is intent on going outside to the gardens in hopes that nature will help him find a better sense of calm. Of course, this requires walking through the Castle and this, in and of itself, is an extreme source of discomfort. Please, by all that is holy, do not let anything happen that will just make this worse.]

[He sees it's big but with the robes she had been wearing it's at least warm.]

No thanks are needed, and I'm Doctor James Watson. But please call me James, sir...?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Ashura, though at the moment I suppose I am 'lady' or 'queen' am I not?

_{[She sighs at that, tugging the jacket a bit more around her.]}

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

Which would you prefer to be addressed as? If you would like to be addressed as a woman I shall endeavor to do so, otherwise I will address you as a man.

[Which he had already done by offering over his jacket, it's a bit impolite to be in ones shirt sleeves around a woman.]

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Perhaps addressing me as Ashura is fine. I will be back to my male form soon enough.

_{[Which, honesty, is not all that different from this one - it just lacks breasts.]}

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

Then call me James, Ashura. It is a pleasure to meet you, even under, these, circumstances.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[She offers a sweet smile and nods her head slightly.]}

The same, and again, thank you for the coat. I will need to repay you soon.

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

[He smiles in turn and nods back.]

No thanks are needed for the offer, it would do me little good to keep it if someone else was in need of it. And repayment is not needed for helping someone in need, far better then what others did to me recently.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Oh? Did something befall you?

_{[She looks on him with sincere curiosity and concern.]}

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

[He rubs along his jaw in some memory at that.]

I was recently turned into a, much younger version of myself, and some here took, advantage of that.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[She stares, mind jumping to rather horrid conclusions.]}

Oh, are you quite all right?

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

[Not quite like that Ashura just you know, tricks and comments and he's rather certain he upset a young man too.]

Oh yes I am, but it is taking some time to go from that body to my present one, age and such.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Oh, quite. I was transformed from my current age to that of my child self once. Apparently I... made quite a few assumptions at the time.

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

Nothing quite so drastic happened to myself...I went from the age of one hundred and sixty to thirty nine...I was a far different man then. At least a child's assumptions are understandable.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

_{[She chuckled.]}

I went from two hundred and fifty-six to twelve.

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

That is, much more of a shock then what I had. So I can only imagine what sort of mischief you found yourself in.

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

My mind somehow forced everyone around me into rolls I could cope with - such as tutors and nannies and familial guards.

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

That does make sense, we see what we want to see in people at that age after all. My mind was, quick to assume others, were a part of a conspiracy.

But you mentioned such things, are you royalty?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

Am or was - often the distinction eludes me these days. But yes, my title is king, which in my language is denoted by the -ou at the end of my name.

[jamesholmes.livejournal.com]

In the fact that you are here where titles mean little, or from some incident back home that has, left your title in a dubious position?

[wishmadeinfire.livejournal.com]

It is the fact that here my title is worth exactly nothing.
