"Erm-- well-" Jiao really didn't know. "I might've read it in a book sometime, I dunno." If she could've, she would have lied and told him that she saw Pegasi when she woke up and was an expert on them, but unfortunately she was tied to the truth.
Loren's question confused her and she tilted her head. "Do humans...have to pray to the Gods every time they want to shift into animals? It sounds inconvenient." She felt like that wasn't true, like she'd seen humans change before her eyes without first seeing them fall to their knees in prayer. "We have magic and we can become animals and we don't need to...ask the Gods for any of it. You just need to want it, and as you grow older and practice..."
She shrugged. That was just how it was. It was not in her nature to grovel, to ask for much; if that were the condition for power she might not ever have it.
"Thanks. I know you aren't fashionable - that's why I want to set up the store." Jiao laughed, the sound like ringing bells. "I might take you up on the help, though."
