Diplomatic Immunity: Three on the Boat

Tiberius Lucius Magnus, Male Praetor Warmage

[SBLOCK]“Oh there would be quite a few changes to make if I went that far, I’d probably have to change his entire body shape if I wanted him to be able to hover on his own. That isn’t likely to happen though...plus if I spend too much time with his manoeuvrability I may neglect his primary covert abilities too much.”[/SBLOCK]

*Tears stream down Catullus's cheeks as he looks towards Kalli, his eyes downcast. But then, Aspasia's gentle touch guides Kalli away, as the healer simultaneously strokes her hand lovingly and comfortingly across the Palmaid's forehead.*

"Hmm...yes. You're probably right about that. It doesn't matter how manoevrable he is if he can't conduct the operations you desire from him."

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Well that’s the crux of it...I guess I should start with what I absolutely need, adding in what might be useful later if he can hold the required power.”[/SBLOCK]

"That's always a good paradigm to follow, I think."

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Yes, well I suppose I’ll have to think about what to add next sooner rather than later, but that’s something for another day. What are you looking to add to Felicia next?”[/SBLOCK]

"Next I'm hoping to teach her component parts to be able to combine into many different forms instead of just the cat, actually."

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Well that sounds very interesting indeed, how are you looking to go about the teaching?”[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

[SBLOCK=Tiberius]
"I figured I would begin by manually reconstructing a new shape, and then ask her to try to duplicate it and offer her rewards when she does. If I repeat the process until shifting shape becomes second nature, then, theoretically at least, she should become proficient...Of course, theory always breaks down in the field, so I may have to make some slight structural changes too to help her out with that."

Rystil
[SBLOCK]“Sounds like a solid plan. If that doesn’t work I suppose you could start by creating a mold of the desired shape and ask her to enter it in her swarm-form, then remove the mold and see if she can retain the new form.”[/SBLOCK]
