[The answer is none comprehension. He just watches her.]

[ambiography]

[that's fine. she's just going to find somewhere to sit and settle in; she can vibe until he does have comprehension later, she just wanted to know he was still out here and okay. presumably. he did get injured out there but that's going to be a conversation for normal caleb.]

I'm sure I'll have to tell you this again, later, but-- I'm glad you made it.

[katzepaw]

[He bends down and bumps her with his snout.]

[ambiography]

[oh, cute...

she's just gonna pat his snout, then. dinosaurs are very cute actually.]

[katzepaw]

[Anyway, after a bit he will go back into the woods to be a dinosaur by himself.

They can run into each other a little later when he's a person again.]

[ambiography]

[she'll hang out with him til then and then let him do his dinosaur thing in the woods, that's chill!

she's definitely coming to find him after it should have worn off, though, to check on him properly.]

[katzepaw]

[He's walking around a little stiffly, but he's here. He seems fine.]

. . . Hello.

[ambiography]

-good, you're back to yourself.

[she's definitely relieved to see that, giving him a brief smile.]

I suppose you were right about being able to handle him.

[katzepaw]

[He shrugs a little, giving a smile himself, sheepish.]

Less smooth than I hoped. The, uhm, compulsion to fight is also a compulsion to fight the way they want. Throw silly objects and punches. Otherwise, I would have cast right away, no problem.

You did help me out, so thank you.

[ambiography]

I did say I wasn't going to let him kill whoever fought him. He had an advantage, in that kind of fight.

But I'm glad that it-- I wasn't sure it was going to work. It was only a theory, when I talked about it with Hugo.

[katzepaw]

I thought about it before - turn someone into a bird, let them fly off. Assumed it wouldn't work.

. . . Hugo? This is Chad?

[ambiography]

It is, yes. We've met a couple of times now.

I was trying to come up with something similar with him before, when I first got the barrier-- but as far as he knew, trying to save both parties was only going to delay the inevitable.

[katzepaw]

Is Hugo an arcanist? I'd been curious.

Makes sense that you can't help both.

[ambiography]

It does, but I still-- I had to know.

[she shakes her head, at that. at least one of them can be helped.]

He uses some kind of magic, I'm pretty sure of that, but he hasn't been himself long enough to ask much about it. I've only seen it happen.

[katzepaw]

Mm. I had the feeling the first time I met him - the real Hugo. It makes sense of a few things.

[ambiography]

It does.

He was able to hold onto himself longer, earlier, so it might be easier to ask about it.
