Private Finished Adding a new face

Sareth wasn't sure how to feel about the city yet.

They weren't exactly attached to the Manta Carlos they knew, but it had grown comfortable over the years they'd spent living on the island. From Sareth's perspective, the twelve years had passed within a blink of an eye, so all the changes the island had gone through was...sudden, to say the least.

Still, they were starting to get used to all the little differences. It was discomforting, but also entertaining as they saw what had changed. To that end, they were strolling through the commercial district, looking through the windows of some clothing stores and checking out the mannequins on display. Fashion had certainly changed, and they were curious to see the differences.

Sareth did see them coming, of course, but they were still mildly surprised to see the unfamiliar looking girl get right up in their face. They blinked once, before giving their thoughts a quick scan. It seemed like they were just looking to entertain themself, so, Sareth figured they'd try to have a little fun with it. Instead of backing up to reclaim their personal space, they simply looked down at them and gave them a predatory grin, lips pulling just a little too wide to feel natural, teeth just a little too sharp to be normal.

"Thank you, I made it myself." They said, an amused tone in their voice, and as they looked down at them, their amber pupils briefly flickered through a rainbow of all colours, before settling back to their default appearance.

Sareth finally took a step back as their appearances changed, not because they were bothered, of course, but so they could fully inspect the mirror image they'd been presented. They stroked their chin, tail curling behind them as they nodded approvingly.

"Hmm, not bad," They said, their smile somehow getting wider. "For that, I suppose I can give you a demonstration of what I can do."

They raised a hand and snapped their fingers, and then their entire body began to change, starting from their hand and quickly flowing through the rest of themself. Their skin shifted from white to black, their tail growing thicker into the same lizardlike shape, scales growing across it as their hair grew longer and took on the same red hue they'd possessed moments ago. Within a few seconds, they'd transformed completely into the form Tril had held moments ago, even their clothes had changed on their body to match.

"How did I do? A perfect copy, I'm sure" They asked with a smug whisper, their voice changed to fit their new look. They did a short twirl, as if to make a show of inspecting themself as well as showing off.

Their tail playfully flicked out, poking Tril's back, before finally turning to face them again with a short, almost smug giggle. They couldn't help peeking into their head, and they did so enjoy making people envious.

"Fog demon?" They asked, their regular voice coming out from Tril's mouth this time. "Can't say I'm familiar. I'm just your regular run-of-the-mill demon I'm afraid."

They started to float off the ground, seeming to lounge in the air, like they were getting comfortable. They hadn't really planned to stick around when Tril began to speak to them, but, well, they seemed fun, and their time-out-of-time had left them out of touch with the demonic community on the island, so they figured it best to learn more.

"But please, do explain," They shifted in mid-air to lean forward, chin resting in their hands, mirroring the same happy grin and curious look Tril had when they first approached. "I take it you're a fog demon yourself?"

They raised an eyebrow as Tril dispersed, that was certainly different, they were almost impressed.

Though, Sareth gave no other hint of surprise on their face or body as Tril repositioned themself. All they did was lazily lean back, looked right up at where Tril was hovering in wait, and flashed them another toothy grin as if daring them to make their move.

"I dabble," They replied, casually. "Though I fear my mischief-making muscle may have atrophied a little, it's been quite a while you see."
