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.]

[hagrides]

Why thank you. I strive to be impressive in all I do.

[Extra as fuck, this moth.]

[trivialpursuit]

[let him see some cool wings]

Sure. What's your wingspan? You must be pretty tall.

[Because he can use the comms device, that's the logic... "I met a different tall bug so all bugs are tall" would probably be rude, Kakyoin thinks.]

[hagrides]

I am six feet tall, which I have been informed is somewhat tall compared to the moths humans are familiar with.

[Just a little bit.]

As for wingspan, I haven't done an accurate measurement lately...

[trivialpursuit]

I should think so. That's taller than me.

[hyuge....he knew it.]

It varies somewhat, but the 'human wingspan' is more or less how tall we are. For moths, I wouldn't know, but yours is probably longer on average...?

[Source: he's seen little moths before.]

[hagrides]

About that size seems reasonable.

[It would be simpler if he couldn't manipulate his wings into various shapes and sizes...]

[trivialpursuit]

If you're ever in the need of an accurate measurement, I have a tape measure.

[He does not. He will find a tape measure. Cool wings.....]

[hagrides]

You're generous as well as helpful. Perhaps I will take you up on that someday.

Might I have your name? You may call me Grimm.

[trivialpursuit]

[Note to self: buy a tape measure asap.]

It's Kakyoin. I'll keep an eye out.

[hagrides]

I should not be difficult to find. There are only a few bugs here to begin with.

[trivialpursuit]

Right. I met one the other day... Very quiet? Even taller?

[hagrides]

The Hollow Knight, a dear friend of mine.

They have no voice to speak, so I thank you for your patience in that regard.

[trivialpursuit]

[That sure is

a title. Hmm!!]

My friends can be loud, so honestly, it was a nice change of pace. Though I'm not very adept at figuring out gestures, sometimes.

[hagrides]

[Their parent was a dick. But 'Pure Vessel' isn't a much better title.]

I imagine the lack of facial expression is also troublesome. Regardless, you have my gratitude for the attempt.

[trivialpursuit]

[These are both terrible. Bad parenting in action.]

That much I'm pretty accustomed to, actually. Still; it was no problem.

[hagrides]

[it only gets worse from here]

They have very few friends due to complex circumstances, and I worry for them. If you would seek their company again, I would be certain to repay you.

[He makes sure to pay his debts to mortals in that mortal's lifetime.]

[trivialpursuit]

Well

you don't have to repay me, but I'll keep them in mind.

[If he wants to hold hands and look a pictures of foxes again, which, you know. Maybe. Very few friends... he knows that one well.]

[hagrides]

I insist. I am someone who repays his debts, and that one is too dear to me for words.

If you would not accept any grand gesture in return, perhaps lunch?

[trivialpursuit]

[repay him with cool wings tbh]

Lunch sounds better than something grand. I could do lunch.

[hagrides]

Then lunch it is. Shall we hash out a time and place?

[shall I jump in kakyoin's inbox or will you jump in grimm's]

[trivialpursuit]

Sure. I'm not very busy.

[come 2 my window]
