[It's late afternoon and Eley appears to be sitting outside somewhere on an incline just outside the village, with a full view of the sky. It's at this time that he decides to address his journal. It's been a while and a lot has happened recently that he feels he should mention...]
I would like to say a general 'welcome back' to those who have returned from the draft. To those who were injured... I hope for a swift recovery. To those who lost friends and loved ones, I hope that they will find you well when they return. They will need your aid again.
[He pauses a moment, shifting tone slightly to something more serious, slightly sad.]
While I understand the necessity of this conflict, the threat of violence still makes me uneasy. I... must ask, is war something that is common across all worlds? Have you too seen great battles and the destruction they can cause? I would like to hear your stories, if they are not too painful for you to share. I would especially like to know if you believe it possible to live in a world free from conflict.

[Eley won't be moving much from his spot today. He's in a thoughtful, almost melancholy kind of mood and finds himself watching the sky as it succumbs to darkness, the stars his only company. At least unless someone finds him sitting out here at night on their travels.
Or hears him. Because sometime during the night he'll start playing on the harmonica Rudy gave him. He's been trying to practice as best he can and while he can at least make a sound on the thing, he hasn't quite managed to string together a melody. You won't hear a particularly beautiful song then, just a series of notes that seem to be played to fit his mood. Whether or not you find it annoying or endearing is entirely up to you!]

Hello again. Is everything all right?

Actually... I often have no form in my world. I take the shape of the dragon when communicating with humans to give them something physical to interact with, to try to reinforce my presence and bolster their belief in me. However, it seems that upon coming to Luceti I have been given this human form as well.
I have grown so used to it that it is beginning to feel... normal to me.

No, I have not always had the best dealings with humans. I would not have chosen this form for myself. I am a Spirit and therefore have no true form. My will is the will of the planet. Or... so it was, before I began to be affected by human emotions.
I am learning much about both sides though. Perhaps there is a reason for it... perhaps it is a lesson for me.

The [She pauses for a moment, recalling the name they had been called] Malnosso. Those people changed me to be human once. I do not think I would like to be human forever. Their bodies are weak.

[Though she still might only appear half that at the moment, he recalled her reaction to his dragon form and his own to her turning human.]
Their bodies are more fragile than I imagined, yes. I have already fallen to illness due to improper care. However it is their emotions I find harder to understand. Their thoughts and feelings. Humans are complicated beings.
no subject
[She thinks for a moment on the idea of humans being complicated.] I suppose they are. They seem to get upset by more things and are often confusing to me.
no subject
[He didn't mean that disrespectfully either, just an observation! But he never was very good at being tactful.]
Interesting. I can see how being human could become uncomfortable for you in that case. I am sure any animal would detest the complexities of human greed and ego...
