Ah. The changes you mentioned from before, correct? [He looks away from the camera if only to offer Petra some modesty towards her displeasure, looking back up to the wyvern as it pushed back against his hands for more attention.]

...you have to know by now I'm not the kind of man to put stock into appearance, right? [He still speaking to the wyvern, but a soft smile pulls at his lips.] I'm just glad to be able to enjoy your company, no matter what sort of changes you wear.

[He turns back, raising a brow.] Of course, I don't know how much my words can hold stock for your concerns, considering besides some new inner pulls of magic, my body isn't changing much, but-- [The smile is back, giving a humorless laugh.] I do know a bit of the stress of feeling like something about you doesn't belong.
