[@KatherinWinter] I mean if you had to, I felt as if you could have given me all that detail in OOC earlier. Or have an outside conversation, with NPC's. But it's okay, and known now. It's not like it's unprecedented. He makes impulsive decisions, and clearly it isn't going well for him...

And like I said, if slaves are considered useful. She could go in that place, and claim "I want a new owner, he's the worst to me, I seek the one that changes appearance to hide from the one I have. Please, change my appearance." if she couldn't reasonably think of that as a character. And the irony of Bastian assuming she's special, when she actually apparently has no particular talent. Balances perfectly fine with his overpowered-ish character. I don't have a problem at all with that narrative. You're doing perfectly fine, I just hope if there's any suggestion you have that you give it. I want this to be fun for both of us.

And well he's already changing as a character, though slowly. He is unself critical, that's a hard trait to have with change. And possibly soon, change that's not for the better. But I do have something in mind plot wise and even possibly romantically related, with the curse. If it goes down that road.

If you think she's so timid/fearful that she wouldn't do this without Bastian near her. She did just see a dead body and a guy being curbstomped. You can talk to Bastian and build character and their relationship that way. There's options. You don't have to follow my characters actions, or even the plot lined out, if you have a better idea. (Like if you wouldn't see how you could find the bladed beauty inside there, for your character and don't want that option to happen without the character getting more concrete information...have two people start having a conversation out of a window near the buildings of the alley. Lucky and odds broken enough for people to give description of the bladed beauty. Talking about how hot she was, mention her hair color and that she did great work on his cousin.) Whatever it is, if you think of something. It's a story were both crafting. It isn't something that needs to be perfect. Just go for it, and I'll likely be able to mesh with it just fine.
