[ he isn't too particular, so he orders the same thing as jinwoo. ]

If you were human, [ he sounds so perfectly deadpan, as he pays for the order. ] then I wouldn't have needed to ask.

[cosmarchy]

I don't know what I am.

[ It's the plain and simple truth. He was whisked away here before he could fully process what happened to him, after coming back from the clutches of death. ]

They call me a Monarch. An astral being, I guess.

[belli]

[ hm. ]

There is nothing wrong with not knowing what you are. I do not possess real knowledge of what I am either. [ an astral being though — he has met his fair share, but he has never heard of one called a monarch. the multiverse is vast, however; so it's inevitable that variations exist. ]

Is this your true form then?

[cosmarchy]

... This is how I've always been.

[ Then again, now that he thinks about it— he's changed drastically since becoming a Player of the System. Even his own sister couldn't recognize him for a while after he started becoming stronger. ]

Or rather, this is how I look now. Even the heart that beats inside me is no longer mine. I don't get how it works.

[ So he doesn't really know. ]

[belli]

Did you go through some sort of transformation?

[ it's what it sounds like to him, anyway. ]

[cosmarchy]

I think so. I haven't had the time to process it, since I woke up here soon after.

[ And they had an imugi to prepare for, so there just hadn't been any time to worry about all that. ]

It just didn't seem that important.

[belli]

You have time now. [ it looks like their order is ready though, so with a casual flick of his finger, he lifts the tray up into the air, letting it follow after them as he heads towards an empty table nearby. ] You need not rush the process.

[ taking a seat, he lowers the tray onto the tabletop. ]

Eventually, you will acclimate to your new form and it shall speak to you.

[cosmarchy]

[ Jinwoo follows after Aodh as he picks out a table for them. He thinks about what the other man just said, and then shakes his head as he takes a seat. One pork belly skewer is plucked from the pile, but he doesn't dig into it just yet. ]

I don't think it matters. It's not like I can go back even if I'm unhappy with how I am now.

[ Which... he isn't. But maybe that's what makes it strange, that he easily accepts how things are now just as he's done before. Is he really that okay with no longer being human anymore? He supposes he is, as long as it means he'll be strong enough to protect those who matter to him most. ]

Anyway, thank you for the food.

[ Because he'll start eating now. ]
