Totally different character that doesn't look like a child, though. Just small. I'm glad to know that the number one criteria for adulthood is not freaking out about apparently dying and being turned into another species. O_o

It's just that all the assumptions people who have been turned into lizards and cats and things are making about the age of others is frankly hilarious. And inevitably someone treating an imp like a child but being told that they're nearly 70 would be amusing.

Now, I'm not trying to start anything or something, but I'm honestly finding it a bit stranger that Ariana is assuming you have to be externally freaking out to be 'freaking out'.

Everyone 'freaks out' in different ways. Someone can very well freak out like she is. They panic. Some get snarky, defensive, or use words and bravado to mask their uncertainty. Some may become quiet, and try to rationalize things. 

Point is, there is no clear definition for how one should be 'freaking out'. Everyone reacts differently to things like this. In Neix's case, she's internalizing everything. Which is bad, because at some point, she's probably going to snap at someone like she just did at Ariana.

The fact that Arianna is kinda...throwing a temper tantrum and accusing people that aren't acting like she is, aren't freaking out on some level, is kind of a childish trait. Which means, it's not to much of a stretch for people to assume she's a kid.
