I can meet you at Rose or near it if that is easiest? There is no need to travel far. I would offer for you to visit Bluebell, but we are getting ready to do some demolition.

From:

strateelgic

Demolition? How curious.

Very well. We'll meet near Rose barn.

From:

heavyliesthecube

We have adopted three weeds, and we need to make room for them.

I shall be right over though. I will see you in just a short bit.

[Off to Rose he goes!]

From:

strateelgic

[Three of them? Goodness.]

[In any case, Levi will be waiting at the fence, the usual smile on his face.]

From:

[It doesn't take all that long.]

I hope that I did not keep you waiting.

From:

strateelgic

No, not at all.

[He holds out a folded up piece of paper.]

The words you need to speak are written here. Don't read them aloud until I say.

From:

[Curious, he unfolds the paper to read over the words. Just how complex is such a spell going to be? He utters nothing while glancing it over, though.]

From:

strateelgic

I have them memorized already. All we have to do is recite them at the same time while holding hands. Then we should swap bodies.

There's one last thing, though.

From:

If you will allow me a few moments to simply recite it in my mind a couple of times, I should be able to without issue.

[He blinks up at him from the note.]

This seems easy enough? What else does it require?

From:

strateelgic

After we've returned to our own bodies we need to kiss each other.

[Sorry about that awkwardness, but Cres is used to it as a Bluebell, right?]

And once a month after we will need to give a kiss to someone of our respective opposite species to keep it going. It doesn't have to be the individual we did the spell with. Unfortunately that makes your options far more limited than mine.

From:

[Oh. Naturally, a faint blush does rise to decorate his cheeks. He swallows after a moment though and clears his throat.]

That is simple enough. By now, it would be embarrassing for me to be a part of Bluebell and unable to complete such a simple task.

[He clears his throat.]

. . . So long as you are comfortable, then it is fine with me. I do not have any intentions of taking advantage of you. I am a gentleman after all.

[He can keep things professional.]

But I do think I will be a little bothered if you go frolicking off to kiss everyone. Allow me to be a little bit jealous for a short while. Especially since my only options would be you and your brother.

. . . I do not think your brother would protest lending his aid, and I suspect he will want this spell too? But this would already be mutually beneficial to both of us, would it not?

Of course. I understand if after this you would prefer that it not be with me. As I said, your brother would help I think. He would probably just demand something silly like... petting my ears again, or something. So embarrassing...

From:

strateelgic

What are you talking about? It makes the most sense for the two of us to do it together. The kiss only needs to happen once a month anyway.

Of course I'll tell my brother about this option. He can choose to find someone who wants to trade or, if not, someone just willing to help him.

From:

Then... this works for me. Whenever you are ready, I am too. I am glad that there is this alternative method, now. And that you thought to ask if it works in the reverse.

From:

strateelgic

Excellent. Then if you'll take my hand? And we can speak the words together.

[Those words being:

"Under eyes of the two moons
Tonight is a path I choose.
By your grace and your trust
Let me walk a day in your shoes."]

From:

[He takes his hand and says the incantation along with him.]

Under eyes of the two moons
Tonight is a path I choose.
By your grace and your trust
Let me walk a day in your shoes.

From:

[With the words spoken, one of the oddest feelings Leviathan has ever felt washes over him and his sense of physical perspective becomes drastically skewed as he's all at once several inches shorter. There's no chance to adjust, the change is instantaneous.

Just as sudden, and slightly more painful, is the shepherd staff connecting to his forehead. The position, it seems, is coming along with him. The blue collar, meanwhile, will disappear from his neck and reappear on his original body, which Crescendo now inhabits.

He rubs at his brow. There's something else, too. Something that's making him feel distinctly uncomfortable after the switch.

Ah, right. His clothes are now the wrong color for his flock.]

From:

[Suddenly his perspective changes and he is much taller than he could have ever remembered. He blinks as he stares down at what... certainly is him. Or at least, is his body. And then he cannot help but to frown.

Reaching down he lifts Leviathan up from beneath the arms so that he is about to his own eye level now.]

Unbelievable. The staff immediately returned to you. Ugh. _{I was so looking forward to being a shepherd, too.}

From:

It looks like our souls are to remain in our original flocks.

... [Is picked up.]

I shouldn't be surprised that this is the first thing you do.

From:

I can lift you as I normally am, but never like this due to the difference in our heights. So it is a novel new experience for me. ♪

From:

You're fortunate that I'm fond enough of you to allow this manhandling.

From:

What would you do to me otherwise?

From:

That's for me to know.
