[June 8] [Tales of Zestiria] What's in a Shape?
Title: What's in a Shape?
Day/Theme: June 8, 2016 - "what fish feel, what birds feel"
Series: Tales of Zestiria
Character/Pairing: Sorey & Mikleo
Rating: G
Whether they took the form of cats or dogs or turtles or humans didn't seem to make much difference to the thought processes of Seraphim as far as Sorey could tell. The shape of a Seraph didn't appear to alter its needs (or lack thereof, regarding eating and sleeping) or capabilities in any significant fashion. But, seeing as all the inhabitants of Elysia while he'd been growing up had been more or less human-shaped, he couldn't help but wonder about it.
Morgrim, for instance. Morgrim's personality seemed well-suited to her plump, feline shape- but why did she have that shape? Had she been born a cat and later become a Seraph (could a cat become a Seraph after a particular sort of death, or was that only humans?)? Had she come into being (Seraphs not having parents after all, Sorey wasn't sure "born" would be the proper word for it-- and what were the origins of Seraphim who hadn't started out as humans? Did any of the Seraphim even know?) looking this way or had she shifted to a form that better suited her?
"You're really turning some thought over and over tonight," Mikleo said, sitting down on the bed beside him.
"It's that obvious?"
"Well, you're never that quiet that long for no reason. You'd have to be sleeping," Mikleo wielded his expert knowledge of Sorey gained out of long years of casual observation.
Sorey laughed at Mikleo's accurate reading of him. "Oh, that's that then, I guess! …I was thinking about the shapes that different Seraphim take. And about how I have no idea how or why they take them."
"Like the Normin?"
"I didn't even think of the Normin!" And adding that piece only rendered the puzzle more confusing still. Sorey was becoming increasingly convinced that even if an answer to his musings did exist, he was never going to reach it on his own.
"…I wouldn't worry about it too much," Mikleo counseled him mildly, "Since I don't think it's directly related to this Heldalf problem, I don't see why you won't have the rest of your life to try and figure it out. Maybe we'll even eventually encounter a clue in some ruins somewhere."
"Oh!" Sorey brightened, "Like depicted in a mural! Or we'll have to decipher some sort of ancient language?! Wow, it seems like it could be really fun chasing down such a mystery with you…!"
"If after all this is done you're still up for it, I know I will be," Mikleo smiled.
