Somewhat, but not so much so that I have forgotten I have the body of one.

[ Why does he answer things like this we just don't know. ]

What is a person to you?

[applebough]

[ Oh.

That question actually catches her off guard. She sits there, looking into her chilled cup of barley tea for some time. ]

Perhaps before this, I would have known the answer, but after coming here, it's really muddled.

[baebladie]

[ ???

That sure is a bit of a confounding reaction, to see her now be not so sure. ]

...Why is it muddled now?

[applebough]

[ She's not sure how she should get her point across, but she eventually finds a way. ]

... Have you seen Sidon? Really tall.

[baebladie]

[ Blade's expression reads 'who???' ]

... I haven't met Sidon yet. Therefore, no.

Not in person.

[applebough]

I think if you see his picture, you'll know what I mean. He's in the profile too.

[ Aquatic amphibian man... ]

But my point is that they could look humanoid and act like any other person. So a "person" no longer feels strictly "human".

[baebladie]

[ Ah. Right, the only inhuman-looking person. ]

...I have come across many beings who are not human in space, yet can also be categorized as a person.

Such is the nature of life. Even that surprise will subside.

[ But, for her, this truly must be novel. Though not uncommon to have such an opinion at all, if one was from an underdeveloped world or place. ]

The question is, are you bothered by it?

[applebough]

Not anymore, no. Sidon is a nice person.

[ "Even if I did go into fight or flight mode when I first saw him..." ]

I would say that it helps a lot.
