Akibel Mowar is on his way home from the blacksmith's when he spots it. People are shrieking and fleeing from it, which seems reasonable, as it's a fuckoff huge snake with a mirror for a face. A big mirror.
Kib can't so much flee. He can shriek - he can lurch in the direction of the nearest house and try the door - it's locked. He can amble briskly...
He can break into a run when the snake gains on him and fall flat on his face.
And he can get eaten up.
And it's too bright too bright too bright and he flings his arm over his eyes.

Only because I'm confident in my ability to eventually change it. People not being in love with me is so much more tractable than people not wanting to kiss me.

Aha. I lack this particular skill and it would - I think separately - drive me nuts if somebody I was with turned out to just want to kiss me because I was pretty.
I have not kissed very many people but - I would not kiss someone I did not admire very deeply. How they felt about it, beyond 'they had better very badly want to kiss me', would trouble me less.

I'm happy with how I look - Aly was too for that matter up until how she looked was 'poxy' - but I don't, mm, identify with it? In the way I would have to be to be properly flattered by pure physical attraction.
