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.]

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.

[hagrides]

Mesmerizing. Though I suppose the chance to see them has long passed, else I would visit her myself.

[saigawa]

what kept you from visiting her?

[hagrides]

It has been a few hundred years, and she has passed away. Her ghost may yet linger in some corner of the city.

[saigawa]

oh i see.
does your world have actual spirits and supernatural things?

[Sure, this guy is big bug. But that's separate from supernatural powers.]

[hagrides]

It does. I would know better than most, being the vessel of a god.
