" Now at least you perhaps speak a whole truth, and not a half of one. We are most certainly united by the hope that trouble finds us here, and pays well in gold and honour, " says Veyk, glancing towards Kenn.
" Perhaps I was quick to offer harsh words, spurned by a lingering feeling caused by a homeland turned to dust. I will offer you some advice, Ambra, in recompense for any hurt feelings I may have caused. Fear is a useful tool, but like many other tools, if you let it, it will become the master and you the slave. "
Standing up, as if preparing himself for something, Veyk continues. " What strikes fear into the heart of Veyk the Changeling, " he says, and with a flourish of his cloak his form changes, shortening and broadening, while his cloak changes to a deep orange, " Gives no pause to Bhalag the Dwarf, "
With that, he pauses as he returns to his usual form, taking care to change the colour of his cloak back as well.
" For you perhaps, it is not quite so simple to become another, but truly, the greatest power of a changeling is not in learning to take on a new form, but to take on a new personality. There is nothing stopping you from achieving the same effect if you can learn to allow yourself. When danger arises, discard Ambra the Meek and embrace Ambra the Merciless. "
