Can't promise I'll knock next time either. But - talking like this 's fine, too. [ ... that part is familiar, too. in some ways more than others. vax shifts where he's settled. ]
How... [ he trails off, for a moment. a little awkwardly, maybe. ] long's it been, since you did that? Gave up a physical form. Since...you were here?

...Like your doors, yeah? Forgot where I came from halfway here.
[ thought not exactly relaxed, the talk away from metaphysical lack of forms does help, and vax settles a little further, propping his elbow on the table. ] Take whatever form you like. This is fine, too. Little weird, but I've had weirder.
In the Prism, do you mean? Yes. I "like" it, though liking something or not is of little importance in the end. It allows me to fulfill my goals. It is my home. I care for it.
Yeah, when I was first looking around - kept going through doors. Couldn't even remember where I started from. Magic illusion shit.

Oughta tell em that then, maybe. [ just saying!! he seems to have relaxed a bit further now, propping his elbow on the table and his chin on his fist. ]
It's not bad, not working alone. Knowing somebody's got your back.
Oh, guy had something to defend himself. Overcompensating, if you ask me, but that's what there is to it.

I will work on finding a more suitable form.
[ if people are just gonna keep bustin' in, might as well. ]
That is a concept difficult to keep track of here. I only know that it has been a long time.
