Neos
Don't be mistaken
Your bloody time's up
Your bloody time's up
Neos looked down and to the side upon the question he had asked being turned back towards him, realizing that he would have to make a little bit of explanation. "How exactly do I explain my original form," he mused for a moment, clicking his tongue once as he did.
After a few moments, he glanced back up towards Sah before saying as he straightened back up, "I should probably start by saying you likely haven't seen a creature like I was before. Remember how I said I was a shapeshifter? My entire species is a shapeshifting species known back home as a 'Ditto'. In our base forms, we appear much like a semi-transparent blob that doesn't even come up to my knee normally." As he said this, Neos shifted to one leg to bring the foot he wasn't standing on up to his knee to show an approximate height before lowering it back down. "It wasn't unusual for us to be able to squeeze through insanely-small areas to get through to places. It wasn't unusual for us to turn into what we saw around us to blend into our surroundings. Really skilled Ditto could take on difficult forms, like the various elements or even the humanoid races of the world." He reached out one hand to wave to himself slightly before adding, "I was one of the few, if any, Ditto that had managed to take on a human form long-term back home, so I guess I got the mercy of mostly-choosing my appearance here and in the other realms I traveled through."
"...as for what changed my answer earlier, it is not something you should worry about," he ended up adding as he tensed up visibly, an undercurrent of anger in his voice, but not at Sah. In fact, Neos looked instead like he'd be glaring daggers at himself if he was able to.
