[ a hum of acknowledgement. ]

I'm considering taking you up on your offer of the plaster head.

...

Did something happen?

I have just been thinking about the pros and cons.

That's all.

Sometimes you simply do not want to be seen. It's a desire I can understand.

...do you have an idea of what kind of shape you would want?

...mm, I have no desire to be perceived right now.

And while I could hide away in my cave and make it so nobody could find me I feel like that would be in poor taste.

No. [ a giant square block. ]

...I see. It is, I've found, an acceptable compromise.

[ He studies Vastella for a while, trying to work out a design that would fit all three heads. ]

We could fashion you something of a moth-like creature. The body can be over the center head, while the wings cover the other two.

I think it could be too. And... thank you, for all your help. I'll need to collect materials, so if you could make me a list, then I'll start immediately. [ a distraction would be nice right now. ]

I like it, but I think I want something a little more... imposing.

[ He begins to write down everything he collected with exact measurements, including how much sand to gather. ]

You already strike quite an imposing figure, so that may be difficult... creating a single head to cover all three of yours may be structurally unsound and rather bulky, so something with segments would likely work better.

A bird of prey? A reptile- something akin to a dragon, perhaps?

...hm, perhaps a dragon. I have heard of a multi-headed dragon, a hydra. I think that would suit me. Let us go that route. I will work on fetching the ingredients.

A hydra... that would work, yes. I can envision it upon your skulls already.

[ He multiplies the ingredients by three and hands over the list. ]

This should be everything you need to collect. Would you prefer to gather on your own, or would you like assistance?

I will leave that up to you. If you'd like to join me, then I won't say no to the company. If you were in the middle of something and you'd like to get back to it, since I imagine collecting some of this may take a while, then... don't let me keep you.

I have nothing better to do, and I would rather spend my time with someone interesting rather than rest of the idiots gathered here. At least with you, perhaps I can learn something.

Time will tell, Dr. Ratio. Let us venture out. [ they open a portal to the lake. ]

Indeed. [ He follows through, out to the lake. ]

[ as soon as they step out, ] What did your mate think of your bust?

I believe it startled him. Perhaps it wasn't the right time.

…oh. [ hums thoughtfully. ] It’s possible that your submissive was just startled by your presence, because you were actively flaunting yourself. A show of that caliber can come as quite the surprise, especially if he came unexpectedly as a result.

That is... an inaccurate description of events.

What happened then?

Admittedly, he was somewhat shaken by a recent death...

I wore it as intended. To conceal my emotions regarding that.

If you don't mind my asking... how did he die?

I heard of a deer woman, a cannibal killer, ...

It wasn't her, was it, ..?

I know that was its intended use, but he probably need you as you are now, Dr. Ratio.

I know. But I had to collect him from a public area. It was necessary.

...no. It was the... Pizzeria, was it? Something about killer animatronic robots or some equally as absurd.

Are cannibals common in this area?

Do you just hate you show others your emotions?

Animatronic robot? [ what's that? for that matter, what's pizza? ]

I don't think so, but there seems to be one out there now.

I simply prefer to keep the rest of the world at a distance.

...yes. A robot in the shape of a character. They exist in my world in the more gaudier areas as a form of mindless entertainment, but I'm sure there's nothing quite as advanced out here. Very early models, if not entirely primitive. It's disturbing that they're capable of moving on their own to kill someone.

I suppose that does make it easier to figure things out... when you're not directly involved and you have no ties to the situation at hand you can just use the information given with no bias.

I still have a lot to learn about this world. Killer character robots... in a pizza establishment.
