[Well this is quite the frustrated mage, who is just kind of sitting there at his desk with his head in his hands. He rubs his temple, and breathes in once or twice as if to start talking, but lets the air out instead because how do you even phrase this.

It's a full minute of the feed before he actually says anything.]

...Has anybody ever had to deal with a Ditto transforming into you and flirting with a stranger without your knowledge?

That's- You- What? Your Ditto did what?

[That's a 'no', by the way. A very emphatic 'no'.]

[his head is not leaving his hands]

I went to the store to get groceries, and one of the newer workers there, or at least I'm guessing she's new, I hadn't seen her before... She waved me over and was talking like she knew me and like I'd come onto her before. Which I don't do ever, no matter what lies Sion'll tell you.

But Elfy sometimes runs to the store in my form to do groceries. He's who she met.

[paladinlost]

[Heavens. He'd have expected that from a Zoroark, but a Ditto...]

Have you... explained the situation to her? As gently as possible, with all the apologies you could think of?

[video]

[tearsofademon]

I may have kind of freaked out a little when I found out...

[ie the gently part is likely a no]

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Please define 'a little'. And did she take it well?

[Is it even possible for a sane person to take that particular revelation well?]

[video]

[tearsofademon]

Incoherent sputtering, some yelling... I'm not good at this stuff, okay?

[video]

[paladinlost]

I can tell. I would suggest making your Elfy apologize to her directly, if that's possible.

[video]

[tearsofademon]

Next time we need groceries, I'll bring him... He's not one of the ones that write, but I'm sure we can manage something.

[video]

[paladinlost]

Perhaps he could mime his apology? Or use charades, those should be simple enough to manage.

[video]

[tearsofademon]

I guess he's got to have been doing something like that already, considering.

[video]

[paladinlost]

...Was she confused or surprised by your sudden ability to speak clearly?

[video]

[tearsofademon]

A little surprised, but more excited, at first, I think.

[video]

[paladinlost]

The poor girl must have hoped for easier romantic communication. I feel sad for her.

[video]

[tearsofademon]

...if that's what she wanted, why do they always drag me into it...?

[video]

[paladinlost]

It's not as if your Ditto could have courted her as himself; it's unlikely she'd have shown interest if he had. He needed a human form, and yours would have been the most familiar.

[video]

[tearsofademon]

Him, her, whichever was the interested one...

[...With a groan, he just buries his head in his hands.]

[video]

[paladinlost]

...It could be worse. He could have flirted with more than one woman at once.

[video]

[tearsofademon]

And I'm really, really glad he didn't.

[video]

[paladinlost]

You must have instilled good values in him, along with the fondness for human women.

[video]

[tearsofademon]

I'm not that good at raising them all...

[video]

[paladinlost]

Is that so? Are they all happy and healthy?

[video]

[tearsofademon]

Ahh, well, I mean, I try, at least that much...

[video]

[paladinlost]

As far as I'm concerned, that counts as good. Surely they'd agree?

[video]

[tearsofademon]

A lot of the time, I think they deserve better than meeeeEEEEOWW! ROSE!

["Clef~" Guess who just walked in on this conversation and noticed him putting himself down again and therefore went and pinched his leg hard :3]

[paladinlost]

[Cecil does not appear particularly alarmed or surprised by the sudden scream.]

It seems the young lady disagrees with your assessment.
