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.]

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.
