Big, cinnamon colored eyes are batted at her,

"Something wrong, dear?"

She's still murring.

"You are much like your fox self, Lady Ako. That's all." A slightly sheepish chuckle.

"That is because I am a Fox, dear. This is just my....well, one of my....human suits."

She's so very, very honest about that.

"Hm. I know I've mentioned it before, but my shapeshifting is different. Though, Yrael, he still has some of his cat mannerisms in his human form. Its... interesting to see."

"For some the shape affects the mind. It doesn't for me, but I am not quite the same. Foxes are shapeshifters first, and thus..."

She shrugs,

"I know who I am. My shape does not define me."

"But... the fox is who you are, first. Human.. or human looking, rather, is after that. Yes?"

"The Fox is the shape I was born in."

She shrugs,

"But it isn't who I am. I am Ako."

"... True. Very true." A faint smile and nod.

"I'm sorry if I was prying, I just like trying to understand, that's all."

"Its fine, Svava."

She takes a sip of tea, and beams,

"People who have only one form, or people who spend too much time in only one form, begin to identify with it."

"But that's how most mortals are. Only one form." A curious raised brow to Ako.

"Yes, dear, I know this."

She beams again,

"But I am not, quite. Oh, I'll die eventually. Probably. If someone manages to figure out how to kill me."

"I do know that feeling, in a way." A shrug, biting her lip.

She reaches over and pats Svava's hand, comfortingly.

A faint smile, looking back up to Ako. "I... recieved news that relates to home, the other day."

She looks interested, and tilts her head just a bit. It would, however, be rude to pry.

"I've mentioned that I'm Bound here? I can go to the worlds of others, but the door does not open for me."

"I don't think so, dear, but that's alright."

She's looking maternal.

A faint smile. "Have you heard of Asgard in your world, Lady Ako?"

"Oh, yes. I have a very good education in several hundred spirit realms and pocket realities."

She nods, and settle back onto her seat a little more firmly.

She gives Ako a fae smile. "I get to go back for it."

"Painful."

She pats Svava's hand gently,

"That can't be easy to know."

"No." Quietly. "And the worse, is I haven't told my best friends and my love that I'm going, yet. Whenever that may be."

"You should, you know. If you leave it too late, you could just hurt them by having to go back without good byes."

"I know I should." A quiet sigh. "Its just a hard thing to bring up."
