[Jade’s Lair]

Aries exchanges a look with Jade before fixing poor Wicke with his gaze, his eyes full of pity.

"You didn't ask for any of this either, did you?" he asks. "You're like my sisters and I. And like Jade. You got assaulted by weird."

Oh oh.

Determination is building now.

Suddenly Aries' problem seems quite small all of a sudden. He already has a solution. Sure he's Lambslaural when he and Jade aren't spending time together. Sure he changes back any time he steps through the trees or roots. But so long as Jade is around he can feel like himself again with her help.

But poor Wicke?

He had something even stranger than becoming the minor goddess of a park in a weird city dumped into his lap.

Aries makes a choice here pretty quickly. "You don't, um, you don't need to tell me what I can't do," he says, a little less (or a lot less) forcefully than how he felt. "My problem isn't a problem so long as Jade is w-willing to help me. We need to find a way to help you, mister Wicke."
