[ of course. nothing could be simple could it. Jiang Cheng narrows his gaze, takes in the fur that has made its mark on Nie Mingjue's skin and feels as if his own skin is suddenly too small for his bones. he does not like that this is one more thing about this place that has made a choice for him, that he will apparently have no choice but to also change, if what he is being told is true. and he sees no reason for it not to be.

he ignores the twinge when he hears that Wei Wuxian is also changing. ]

....monsters. And that is not an insult how? Are they something revered here? [ there is no malic in that, he is curious. even if he cannot quite wrap his head around it. though, with the exception of the fun and a slightly calmer demeanour, Nie Mingjue has not seemed to have changed in any way that really matters.] Mm, I am fine. At the very least, the water was not unbearably cold.

[ a pause while he sips some tea.]

You mentioned witches, what does that entail in this place? Are there changes for them as well?
