[ The wonderful denizens of Aefenglom are treated to Iramaat's dulcet tones - although they're pitched down into something almost like a pout or even despair. ]

This is unacceptable, it really is. [ There's a long-suffering sigh and then she continues. ]

Pulling me across time and space and one thing, but this? Is another. They've changed my ears! My beautiful, beautiful ears...

[ Sounds like someone got their first bit of change since their arrival. And she decides to prove that am oment later with a sepia-toned picture of herself. Her long, pointy elf-ears have been replaced with a pair of ears that more closely resemble those of a deer (and they seem to have shifted slightly up the sides of her head). They've even got that dusting of fur, although it's hard to tell what color it all is. Her expression is incredibly morose and not at all happy. Maybe even a bit overwrought. ]

At least tell me I'm not the only one...? [ Well, she half knows that, but she wants to confirm it. ]

[Wow! America huffs.] Not that my wings don't look cool, but I already looked awesome without them.

I suppose, but I don't really have a point of comparison. I think it's probably better.

[ She's jsut gonna assert her opinion as fact, don't mind her.

Or do, actually, because it's sorta rude. ]

[Good thing America is rude and tends to assert his opinions as facts, too.

Wait no that is just going to make this conversation worse.]

It definitely isn't. It doesn't fit with the rest of me at all! Your deer ears fit you having horns so you definitely have it easier.

[He is the King of Suffering, even though he also said his wings looked cool earlier.]

Easier? My ears were beautiful. Not like those round little things you call ears.

[ Huff. ]

It's completely different! And not at all easier - besides, humans can only be improved upon, anyway.

Joke's on you, I'm not even a human, really. [Kind of. Whatever, that's not the point.] But humans are cool! And round ears are normal!

Oh? If you're not human, what are you?

[ Beat. ] And they are not normal. They're dull!

[ Is Iramaat petty enough to keep arguing about this? Absolutely. ]

They're normal! And they look good on people's heads! [It's all about proportions, maybe.] I'm a nation. What're you, anyway?

A member of the Fair Folk, of course.

[ Hmmph. ]

Normal for humans, maybe. How can you be a nation? That sounds - strange. And fascinating, honestly.

How's anyone anything? [America's never been great at explaining, but he'll try.] It's like, when a bunch of humans get together and decide to all be a society or whatever, poof, someone like me is born!

Well, I suppose that makes sense. Bit like a spirit of something or other, I gather?

[ That's familiar enough. She's just never heard of it happening for a kingdom before. ]

Yeah, I guess it's basically like that. [Except real, except America is having to be more open minded about all this magic stuff now that he's here. It's hard to adjust to.] So I look like a human because my country is made up of humans! [This is not a canon explanation this is America's theory.]

[Also, suddenly he looks a little alarmed.]

I hope everybody didn't grow wings just 'cause I ended up here!

Wait, why would they? You represent... whatever it is you represent, they don't represent you.

[ Iramaat sounds curious about that. ]

That isn't how it works, right?

Yeah, but I've never grown wings before! [What if something really weird is happening back home?!] If this place is doing weird stuff to everybody back home I'm gonna be really mad!

I sincerely doubt it.

[ She seems so sure. ]

It would need to reach a very long way indeed to do such a thing!

It's already got way more reach than it should. [He shouldn't be changing at all!]

Well, yes, but we are in its world. It makes sense that it should affect us here.

That's not how it's supposed to work with me. [That's not entirely true, but there's at least never been anything this drastic that's happened before, as far as he knows.] All this magic stuff's weird enough without that!

Magic is magic. You live with it.

[ She remains unsympathetic. ]

Magic is dumb. What about your ears? [She didn't sound like she wanted to live with that!]

It's not dumb, just unpredictable sometimes...!

[ She loves magic! Really! ]

You should be able to rely on stuff like not suddenly growing wings or deer ears or whatever. [This is why science is better!]

Well, it never did that to me at home.

Okay, so the magic here is dumb. [Compromise?]

I'll agree to that.

Great! [Then everything is fine.] I'll let you know if I figure out a way to make us all go back to normal! There's gotta be a way somewhere.
