[An 'unfamiliar' face projects through the Pearls... except if you look closely, it's not that unfamiliar. The shape of the plumes on his head carry the same general silhouette as a certain Rookidee...

But now he's larger, longer, and has a noticeably bigger beak. In fact, he looks far more like a crow than he did before!

And so Akechi fluffs up his feathers a bit and addresses the Pearl at last.]

Greetings. This is Akechi. I realize that this transformation may be a bit alarming, but I thought it best to announce my recent evolution so that no one believes I've disappeared.

This new form is far more suitable, though I wish it hadn't been so overdue. Still, it seems that being put into highly dangerous situations is one way to provoke evolution.

I suppose this does bring up a curious question, though. To evolve, or not to evolve. For me, it was a no brainer, but others may be less enthused about changing their physical forms yet again. Evolution is, after all, irreversible.

So humor me. Do you wish to evolve, or are you content as you are?

I'm already perfect and don't need to evolve further.

[She is clearly being a little melodramatically smug.]

[truthdecided]

How humble of you.

[He speaks flatly, with an arched brow.]

[pyrodulia]

I wasn't taught to be humble as a child.

[But she discards the act like she's taking off a cloak.]

More seriously, I'm glad that I am fully evolved. Having to start off small and weak and vulnerable would have been intolerable for me.

[truthdecided]

It certainly was an exercise in patience.

[Ironic, when he was told he wasn't patient enough.]

I adapted as well as I could, but this form is more comfortable, and I'm sure I'll be more satisfied once I'm a Corviknight.
