[He does blush somewhat, while also looking smug.]

I never claimed not to be passionate.

From:

innerdaemons

But only while your energy can keep up?

From:

temperedinpride

Truthfully it is the mental stamina I lack. I can certainly keep up with you youngsters physically.

From:

innerdaemons

[ he hums, amused, idly stroking down his sides ]

I daresay this vessel of yours is likely younger, physically, than mine.

From:

temperedinpride

[He leans into that, lifting a hand to toy with Absinthe's hair.]

Is yours not just your body? I've never inquired. Did it stop aging?

But yes I would guess my vessel is in its mid to late twenties or early thirties at most.

From:

innerdaemons

Oh, it is mine, yes. But my aging stopped at thirty-four years or so.

[ because this is what jrpgs think thirty year olds look like ]

From:

temperedinpride

[Starscourge does things to a man. He twirls his finger, winding a lock of Absinthe's hair with it.]

Shall I say your vessel looks older than its supposed years? Or just that the ravages of your life show too clearly. Though I can hardly talk about not looking my age, or supposed age.

From:

innerdaemons

[ he tips his head down but he overall seems pretty amenable to that! ]

Perhaps my life did its take its toll on me. Somnus certainly seemed more ... Youthful, and he was not too far off in age.

From:

temperedinpride

[He lets the strands of hair unwind, pushes them back over and behind Absinthe's ear, fingertips lingering to stroke the shell of it, and leaning in to kiss Absinthe's forehead since his head is bowed.]

Well, I do find your form appealing as it is, whatever the reason for the uncommon wear of years upon it.

From:

innerdaemons

[ he laughs, moves his hand up to gently grip Lahabrea's wrist, kissing the inside of his palm ]

I do not mind it myself. For that I am quite fortunate -- immortality in a shell I disliked would be dreadful.

From:

temperedinpride

[He brushes his lips with his thumb, fond.]

It certainly would. But I dare say your shell matters little in the end. I am glad it suits you, however.

From:

innerdaemons

Of course.

Were you able to choose your own ... ?

From:

temperedinpride

You mean when I switched or in general?

If the first, then no. But the second... I would say this is closest to the form I tend to wear, when not occupying a body, so in a sense yes. It most resembles how I looked before I shed my physical flesh.

From:

innerdaemons

Mm. And is that likewise for Emet-Selch? I know you've discussed how your habits and his own vary.

From:

temperedinpride

That form is Solus zos Galvus. But he has molded it over the years. It much resembles his real face now, though it is not quite the same. Small differences. He would look somewhat younger than the age of his flesh. His frame would be different as well. And his hair is white in truth.

But if you saw him you would still recognize him at an instant.
