Theo's ship has arrived in Ardon, and you have stepped off of it on the docks. Around you, you can see a city of wide open spaces, fountains, and interesting architecture. The garb of some of the people, consisting of flowing robes, and, in some cases, what almost seem to be draped sheets, seems odd to some of you.
Venture
So you talk to yourself and what do you know /
You answer back with a "Don't say so?"

Asia looks around at the buildings and layout of the city from where she stands. Interesting buildings, pretty casual citizens as well, where's someone wearing armor or something regular? Interesting as it was, Asia was still distracted thinking of Siss's newly found abilities. *I hope he can handle it Silk as she rubs her companions ears.* I know of the Druid path he has taken of course, that of the "shifter" as they are called. I hope he is strong enough inside to take it. The shifter spends so much of their time in so many different forms, they are at risk to losing themselves to their transformations. Or I should say losing their individual identities as a person. Even when transformed, I am still Asia, half-Elf, and my abilites are a cherished gift and power. But, I know who I am also, so I am always still me. Siss though, was searching for something he said, he felt he was missing something. And that is why I worry. If he was not sure about himself, who he was, will all the different forms make him less of himself? *looks around*, where's Lind...if he is close enough , he should be able to pick up on some of my thoughts or worries since I have been thinking of him. He has been sort of quiet about the whole thing so far? I would like to know what he thinks of this...
Justice, voiceless, unseen, seeth thee when thou sleepest and when thou goest forth and when thou liest down. Continually doth she attend thee...
With a joyful screech Merch launches himself off the edge of the ship and lands on Sissfus' shoulders
"Merch! back to your old self again, I see. Have you changed any?" he wonders outloud
He wanders down the gangplank, the large rat chittering happily on his shoulder, and peers at his surroundings with a slight look of disgust. He shakes his head and sighs "Well, at least I knw I'll never look at a city the same way again" he says quietly to himself.
He begins to follow the group and then looks at Asia with a slight frown on his face. He steps a little close and asks her "Something wrong? you seem worried, or concerned about something"

Asia? Yes, these must be your thoughts. I have been very worried for Siss for many days now. Ever since I gave him care of Alantha and Skottie took advantage of that he has seemed lost. This big change in his life can either give it new meaning or truly destroy him. We have to be supportive but also keep a keen eye on him. Afterall the Ravager is still out there and we can't afford to either have the Ravager take over his body with his newfound powers or have him have a mental breakdown at an inopportune moment.
Sissfus looks at Asia with concern for a moment, and then shrugs "You seem to have a lot on your mind" he says as he looks over his shoulder at the group.
He notices Skotch walking by and taps him on the arm, turning away for Asia for a moment "Hey, Skotch, I'm over what happened with Alantha, now. I realise it doesn't matter." He then pauses for a moment, considering something "By the way, though, my armor is fairly useless when I change into a different form, if you happen to pick up anything that might be helpful at keeping me alive and isn't protective enough to be used by one of the group as armor, could you let me know? I took a beating against those pirates, and I know that you're good at 'finding' things" he grins as he put an emphasis on the word finding, and with that turns back to Asia, awaiting an answer.

Miguel keeps a close eye on Sissfus, wondering if he's going to spontaneously change into something and draw attention upon the group.
"All we need is for him to turn into a drider or something while we're walking down the street," he thinks, "He seems to be getting a bit bloodthirsty too. Actually, that's not so bad, as long as it's directed against our enemies. Skotch might want to be careful about stealing anything else from him though."
He looks around at the passing townspeople, wondering if the Ravisher might be hiding in one of them. He scans their faces to see if any show a glimmer of recognition, but all seem to be avoiding him with no more than the usual degree of distaste and/or fear.

"Siss, I am just concerned that you can keep identity intact among all your new forms. Just recently you had expressed how you were missing something, searching maybe. IN any event you felt not whole. I just hope you can keep it together. The path of the shifter takes a lot of strength as a person, of who you are, so that you are not consumed by your forms. When I am transformed, am am still myself, I am still Asia in any form, but that has taken years of discipline and experience to do so. When I was younger and first started tapping into these abilites, I was able to change yes...but, I also would not remember much of what happened while I was changed. It was like dreaming, not reality. After years of doing so, I mastered the forms, and kept my mind and identity seperate form my forms. So whatever form I chose, I am still in complete control. You have just been handed a great deal of power, you are only just starting to learn your forms. "
"So, yes I am concerend. For you, so that you don't just run off while in form and loose your identity, and also that the group needs to keep an eye on you to make sure you adjust ok.
We don't need to be in a fight, and have your animal instinct as Manticore take over and we get spiked with poison in the back. You have to keep your self in check. We take on those great abilities while transformed, but along with it comes the basic instincts of that form. You have to be absolutely positive of who you are and sure of yourself, so that that doesn't happen. "
"I am not trying to lecture you Siss, but I have been at this a lot longer then you. It is just my experience I am trying to convey. So, don't take it wrong. But my concerns are well founded. "

Sissfus smiles at asia and nods.
"I know what you are saying, and that you're not lecturing, and I appreciate the advice. I will try to remember it. I think that the aspect of each creature I change in to does take over somewhat, and while I do not fully become that creature, I do in part."
He pauses to consider this a moment, then carries on.
"The Huntress' moonstone that Randric entrusted to me helps, a lot. It shines constantly in the back of my mind, a beacon that I can focus on and use to follow back to my true self, I do not know how it works, but I believe that eventually I can understand it, and possibly increase my powers as I develop that understanding"
He grins wrly and nods to himself "Please, do not worry about me. I know who I am"
