My Master takes the shape of a crane. [so like, this isn't out of the realm of possibility??? she's never seen a human sized frog but she's never been to sumeru, maybe there's some there.]
[ an Expression crosses his face when she says crane, but it's hard to tell exactly what it is because. frog. maybe a little bit of fear? I'm sure it's fine. ]
I did try. For a while. It didn't work quite so well.
When you are a Prince it is difficult to be a proper frog, and when you are entirely a frog, much of what made you a Prince is lost. I think the two things are simply opposed forces in the world.
... Sorry, did you say your master was a crane As in a bird?

It's too big! That's too big for a bird to be. I've had nothing but terrible experiences with too large birds. Actually that's not quite true, the Golden Goose was quite nice, but everyone else! Not great!

[she's kind of absently thinking about that first part, still.]
She wouldn't find you appetizing if that's your concern.

No, no, it wasn't, it wasn't ... [ it was ] Besides, I'm much too large for that now. Unless she is somehow quite a giant bird.
