Never Going Out of Style

"I think I'd be kinda mad if some animal decided to just join with me forever without even asking..." Jiao pointed out, raising her eyebrows as she looked down to the ground. Any companion that tried to bond with her without consent would find itself consumed with plenty of her rage shortly thereafter, she thought. As Jigano began to explain the races on his world, Jiao wondered if that was why he seemed so into bonding with an animal. Sounded like the line between humanoid and creature had been blurred in his land; she looked him up and down trying to see if he had any particular animalistic qualities. She supposed he reminded her a bit of a swan, but that was more to do with his hair and his attitude than anything physically important. "Well, we can. I'm 45. Humans at 45 look wrinkly and old, but I don't." She pointed out, splaying out her fingers before her face. As for the Gods...Jiao had never been a particularly pious person. But still, she had an answer. "Some people did. But most Fae pray right to Vi or Mort or Caido. You know, the important ones. Or at least, I think they do. I don't know what people do at the shrine in their house, you know? Do you follow one of them?" JIAO Some girls fight hard Some face the trial Some girls were just meant to smile
