[That's actually a big relief, he had been worried about having to explain things further or even running away very quickly. But Olivine seems to know about beings like himself, so that makes things easier.]
Yeah. Well, kind of. Normally I stay in this human form but originally I was a dragon.
[Thankfully he doesn't have slitted pupils in his eyes, that would have given him away immediately. But his eyes still are a bright red that isn't normally seen in humans.]
[Olivine hums his understanding as Ali speaks, continuing his gentle tracing.]
I imagine it was a lot to get used to, at first. Do you know what caused it? Ah—in Klein, we have yokai; typically, they're normal creatures that gathered enough essence over time to be able to transform into humanoid forms.
[although some are still more creature shaped... but the concept is true enough.]
[Fortunately he has met some yokai here, which makes it easier for him to understand.]
I think it's something similar to that? I always had the magic within me, but I had to learn how to use it. I was about 500 years old when I finally was able to maintain this form for a full 24 hours.
