"Sounds to me like you're doing everything you can to fight against the real lesson life is tryin' to teach you. Tradition? Honor? Those can be molded into whatever you want. You're not violating anything important just by being you. And more importantly: even if your bodies did change back, do you really think *you* could go back to being what you were, now that you've had a taste of who you are? If you want to go home, *go home*...but expect things to be different than you remember, no matter what form you're in." Aerie shook her head and turned away. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to find someone who thinks being like me *isn't* the most shameful thing in the world." For a child, she had been doing a remarkable job of controlling her temper, but it easily began to show as she stomped away, scowling. > [OOC: Ugh. I don't know if this is at all sufficient.
