"Sure. What do you want to look like?"

Uncaring shrug. "I don't care very much. Whatever you feel like doing?"

"Sure."

He looks thoughtfully at Zeothe, and then - he has a new face. Same height and build, nothing that would make him need to relearn major motor skills; all the differences are in cosmetic details, although the new facial structure might still take some getting used to.

"Thanks!"

"Aw. You're fluffy."

"I am that, aren't I." He runs a hand through the mess of wavy curls that is now his hair. "This is weird. Am I making expressions that make sense, my face is all. Different."

"Your smile didn't look weird, but I'd have to see more facial expressions from you to say. .... Can I pet you."

"You may."

His sister giggles, then pets the fluff, delighted.

The Emperor also giggles.

"Okay, I'm done, you can have your dignity back now."

Snort.

"Thank you, it's so essential to my character. Now, can I borrow a mirror so I can make ridiculous faces at myself?"

A spontaneous flower grows out of the floor to give him a charming little silver hand mirror.

"Thanks! Off to go make faces to myself, then, where's a room I can get some privacy?"

"You can borrow my room," offers Esvetielle, pointing it out.

"Sure. Thanks." He gives a wave, and heads off to make faces to himself.

"I like your brother," says the Emperor to Esvetielle.

"Me too! Thank you for returning him." Hug!

Eee!! Hug!!

She considers him, then leans up and gently cups his face to kiss his cheek.

"Really. It - hurt, to not have him be somewhere in the world. Thank you."

Awww. He smiles down at her.

"You're welcome."

She smiles back, then steps out of the embrace. Zeothe might give her a weird look if he came back to her snuggling and making eyes at the Emperor. She'd rather not have to weather any weird look at all.

"Knowing my brother," she says, "once he's got his face under control he's going to want to go check things out immediately. Want to help me make an adventure bundle for him?"

Giggle. "Sure. What in the world is an adventure bundle."

"All of the things I expect my brother is going to want or need while going on whatever adventure he's on. He does this a lot, I have a system. Typical staples include money, various weapons of assorted sizes, a water canteen, portable food of some kind, rope, maybe a change of socks. Things someone that is running around in the middle of the night like a lunatic would like to have. ... Boots. He will need a sturdy pair of waterproof boots, he doesn't have his anymore."

Yeah he's smiling adoringly at her again.

(He really wants to be hugging her, but given that she very recently stopped hugging him, he probably shouldn't. She's so cute though! It is a dilemma.)
