Zeltrech:-Laughs a bit-

Not quite there, but you've got the idea. smile

Maria: Heh... erm, I still don't quite understand the similarities I have with her, however.

Zeltrech: Well...let's just say that at least 800 years ago, there was a beautiful princess who was surprised by a court mage who showed her what a smile was for the first time. And I asked her the same question I asked you. smile

She didn't know the answer at the time, and her smile was nearly as awkward as yours. You're close. Not fully there. But I'm sure you'll have a beautiful wide grin like she has. smile

...Please do forgive the ramblings of an old mage here, linear time is still a hassle at points. [lol]

Maria: Hm... forgive me, but the form of my smile doesn't seem all that... important, I suppose? Perhaps this is just ignorance on my part, though.

Zelretch: Mostly, yes. But it does give me a good sign of how strongly you feel about something. Like how happy you feel, yes? smile

Maria: Generally speaking, that is true.

I would like to posit, however, that my relative unfamiliarity with making particular facial muscle movements doesn't necessarily imply a lack of happiness, but a lack of familiarity with human customs.

Zeltrech: Oh, it's not just human custom that lets you know how to smile. Even babies know how to smile when happy. smile

Maria: *thinks* I apologize, that wasn't the correct word. What I meant was that it's an instinct... one that, although I have adapted to a certain degree do to being around humans, I do not naturally have. Keep in mind, I have taken this form as a matter of convenience; I do not naturally have a mouth.

Zeltrech: Ahhhhhhh. Is this why you look to humans here? To look at what you believe you lack?

Maria: What I lack...? Well, I don't know. I just have this sense that I can't just go around being a passive observer, doing naught but acquiring knowledge about the natural world. Such a way of life is not fulfilling for me. It's not fulfilling. Such a way of life makes me feel... lonely.

I don't think my basic wants and fears are that different from an ordinary human's. I just want to have a sense of companionship with the people around me... to feel validated by their presence.

Zeltrech:-Holds his arms out and smiles-

Well...

-Puts them together again, then holds his cane-

Whether you believe me or not, my little moon princess had found that out too. That's why she goes to this school, to learn more. And why she smiles the hardest of anyone here. Because one day, she found discovered that life was fun from just being awake. smile

-Glances at his wrist, like he were looking at a wristwatch that isn't there-

Oh, I do believe I will have to go soon. I believe there's a small smoothie shop I wish to sample their wares, I'd nearly forgotten what they tasted like. surprised

-Goes up an unexpectedly lightly hugs Maria goodbye-

If you want to visit, just ask miss Brunestud, she'll tell you where to find me! grin

-Lets go and walks off, phasing out of reality in a much more jarring yet more natural way than miss Lilith did earlier-

yeah, gnight

-Despite me having abandoned the game last night-

-Vasili is still running-

Maria: Hm... well, to be honest, I'm not sure what I'm doing either. It gets rather lonely at this time of night.

Maria: *nods* I am aware. I, however, do not sleep, so it is a bit of a quandary for me.

Vasili: -to Maria- There are ways to keep oneself amused. Perhaps you should look into them, I'm sure there's something. smile
