[Tsurumaru moves slowly with intention. He observes. If there's any panic, he withholds it well.

Alhaitham watches.]
Then I'm not going to surprise you.

[He was an Acting Grand Sage, though? That counts for nothing.]

Unfortunately for you, I can't develop such a skill in seconds. [He shrugs, feeling utterly blameless after he just sat and watched.]

I saw you drink the black tea. [And he starts to write as he talks, gaze drifting to the page.] Once you set your cup down, a small fragment of your face flaked off. Based upon the reflection of the light, it's a piece of metal. Since your fingers have also begun an abnormal creaking sound, it seems that the tea has caused some sort of alteration to your body changing it into another material.

[Tsurumaru offers the piece of himself that chipped off like old paint. Alhaitham, being Alhaitham, plucks it from Tsurumaru's palm to inspect it. To experience it by texture and temperature as if an affirmation of is sight.

Tsurumaru isn't incorrect, really.

That this is a piece of someone's body doesn't outwardly disturb him. It only inwardly disturbs him in that this theoretically could happen to any of them, were they slightly less cautious. Being unmade would be a terrible way to go.

He presses the piece between his fingertips, then looks up to Tsurumaru.]
And are you human?

From a biological perspective I would say no. From a social or spiritual one... well, that would depend how human is defined to begin with. [He looks between the shard between fingers and Tsurumaru's hand, as its unnatural blending of the organic and inorganic, and then returns the piece that broke off to his palm.]

But I have no interest in defining the latter two, so tell me for the first one. [Not that he can't guess the answer, but it's an invitation to elaborate.]

Are you a thing made of metal, or something else? [Because that begs the question, then, if the tea is meant to reveal a true state or if it's meant to twist you into something else. The second is safer to assume, if only because most people here are probably as naturally human (or whatever they are) as he is.]

[Youkai, then, like Kaijin. Alhaitham looks over Tsurumaru with consideration.]

And is this form something you had before, or something you gained in the city?

I see no reason to worry about it. [Because of it can and will, what will he do to stop it? What can he do? Solutions and preparations are worth more than concern, and if that isn't possible... well, no reason to concern with it at all.]

Simply curious about how far it's already gone to change people to fit into it.

You're experiencing the consequences. What are you going to do about it?

[Tsuruno asks why he's always watching. In fact, there is much that can be learned from simple observation. Apply a little patience to one's life to look and listen, and you come away with pieces that build up to a bigger picture, clearer truth, better solution.

The turn of phrase causes the slightest quirk in his expression. It is the shift in his shoulders as he leans an elbow forward.]
And how's that going for you?
