Hello, fellow Moonblessed. If you'll oblige me with some of your time, I have a few questions about humans. That species is nonexistent where I hail from, so please forgive my curiosity, and I apologize in advance if any of these are rude.

1. Humans have no shells or carapace, and their clothing seems more decorative than protective. Am I correct in assuming that they use magic to defend themselves?

2. Do humans go through metamorphosis? I don't believe I have seen a human larva or grub here, though I admit I do not know how I would distinguish human young from an adult other than size.

3. Most humans that I have seen have hair primarily on their heads, rather than their whole body like, for example, a spider. Does that not make regulating their temperature more complicated?

That will be all for now. Once again, I thank you for your assistance.

[...Grimm is doing his best.]

[Kashuu Kiyomitsu, who is not even human, spots this.]

1. clothes can be both nice looking and keep us warm! no one likes being cold, but it's even better if we can look good at the same time~

2. nah, they grow up from small to big. it just take a while.

[Technically, even if the sense of time feels different for him. And that's before time travel!]

[hagrides]

[Kashuu knows more than Grimm does. Not that that's hard.]

1. Stylish and practical, then.

2. How long is 'a while' in human terms?

[saigawa]

1. yep yep~ that's why it's always fun to see what's new and fashionable.

2. pretty long? until they're adults. so that can be like 16 years or more.

[And then the age of adulthood just increased over time.]

[hagrides]

I can hardly imagine keeping up with fashion changes over the years. It's difficult enough to keep current on slang...

How long is a human's lifespan?

[saigawa]

as long you keep reading up on it, it's not so bad.

[Not everyone have your obsessive need to look cute, Kashuu Kiyomitsu.]

i don't know how long they go for now. used to be 50 back then.
probably a lot older now.

[hagrides]

[No one can look as cute as Kashuu Kiyomitsu.]

I would certainly hope they live longer, that's terribly brief in comparison.

[saigawa]

their life are always so short anyway.
that's why they always do so much.

[hagrides]

I am not terribly familiar with the history, but from the humans I have met, I can imagine their lifespans to be full of accomplishments.

[saigawa]

it really depends on who you meet
some people live normal lives
or really busy lives with so many things happening to them
so you're probably lucky

[hagrides]

I must be lucky to travel to Lunatia to begin with, to ever be able to meet a human.

[saigawa]

so what are you, anyway?
it's pretty obvious you're not human or know about them

[Well, yeah.]

[hagrides]

A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am a moth.

[saigawa]

you're a moth??
like the bug?

[hagrides]

Is there any other kind of moth to be?

[saigawa]

i don't know
since there's all sorts of people from different worlds, maybe there's one where a moth isn't a bug

[hagrides]

Fair enough. But in answer to your question, I am a bug.

[saigawa]

ohhh
so
don't mind me asking
how big are you?

[hagrides]

Six feet tall. Why?

[saigawa]

[WOW]

because i just imagined a really tiny bug
just typing on these devices

[hagrides]

How adorable!

The tiny bugs you speak of sound terribly cute.

[saigawa]

i guess
i don't really like bugs
except for the pretty, cute ones

[hagrides]

And which insects might those be?

[saigawa]

butterflies!
and fireflies and ladybugs

[The cute, visually pleasant looking ones.]

[hagrides]

Butterflies are quite lovely. I still remember one popular singer in the City of Tears, before it was named such. A butterfly who insects would flock to see.

[saigawa]

a singer, huh?
they must be really good to get others wanting to see them perform.
