Admittedly, this is...very unlike me, but I'm going along with this before the excitement wears off. It took far longer than I thought to put together my asterisk, but I finally have something both complete and a bit more towards my style. That much isn't so out of the ordinary, but...oh, I'll just get to it. Lucian?

(There's a brief moment of discussion with her moogle before Matilda finally goes and dabbles with her iMog. The flash of a job change is nothing unusual by any means, nor is the shift in attire, but a full on shift from her normal fox appearance to that of a dragon? Not a whole lot bigger than she normally is, at least, but that's definitely a dragon there. One with scales that look as if you're looking up at space itself, seeing the stars and swirls of a blue nebula. The dragon rubs her head, the voice coming from her very much Tilly's.)

Once I learned I could call upon my draconic power in times of emergency, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep this a secret for long. And...while this is liberating, I suppose it's also a heads up to not be alarmed if you see me like this elsewhere? It may not be the greatest to go about towns in, now that I think about it...

...A-anyway, yes. This much is part of the asterisk and I'm quite happy with it. I thought I'd share that with everyone else...

(A smile. See? Nothing to worry about at all, promise! God, she's being so awkward right now, she's just...gonna end this before it gets agonizing.)

[Corrin is clapping excitedly.] Tilly, that's amazing! You look so...majestic! I admit I didn't get a terrifically good look at your dragon form the first time you used it, but...it really, really suits you. Congratulations!

(Oh no, praise. The thing that always leaves her looking sheepish and ducking her head down, even in her draconic form.)

Thanks, Corrin. I'm...still anxious from outing myself like this, but it's comfortable. I've spent a long time keeping it hidden, so I think the change in scenery should have a matching change of pace.

Still, I don't think making a dragon form part of the asterisk is too much to deal with...is it?

(Asks the natural dragon.)

Of course it isn't, Tilly. You should never be ashamed of who you are.

And if it is a problem for someone, that's on them, not you. They're not worth your time.

[She leans forward with a small grin, interested.] But maybe it would help if there was another dragon lounging around too? Then you wouldn't feel so out of place!

Would the asterisk allow me more regular access to my Water Dragon form? I used to be able to use it more regularly, outside of battle, and I must confess I miss being able to do so. I'd be exceptionally interested in apprenticing to you if that was the case!

....You can do that?

(She taps a claw against her chin in thought.)

In that case, I...don't think it'd be a problem. you stay as a dragon when you have this asterisk equipped, but I don't think you have to be the specific kind of dragon I am? At least in appearance.

I should warn you that it's more support-oriented than anything else.

Yeah, Ganeshan mentioned it to me when I was putting my asterisk together a few months back. You can hold your personal custom asterisk and another from someone else if you apprentice to that person. I thought maybe if Kana or Sophie ever...well.

A-Anyway, if I can keep my own dragon form, then I am definitely in. I don't mind support at all, actually. I've found it pays to have a diverse skill-set. So, yeah, when you're ready, count me in for this, Teach! [She giggles.]

(She giggles as well.)

In that case, it wouldn't be any good to discuss this over the slates. Can you come over to the Curti Center? I'm in room B-08. I can fill you in on what it can do and how magic works from my world. The latter isn't necessary, but it might help.

Absolutely! I can be over in two days. We can do lunch, if you like. I look forward to it, Tilly.

Sounds good! I'll be sure to have it ready for you by then. No allergies, I hope?
