I... admit, I hadn't even considered that as a possibility. But I think that would be better than what I had intended. I want him to be able to have that independence.
[The other pages he had sketched are pushed aside as Adrian sits at his desk, immediately getting to work.]
I can easily sort out how it'll support him properly, make sure it's not too much all at once and causing too much harm. But as far as actual movement goes... I think I'll need your input.
Perhaps I would benefit from the schooling as well.
Up to you if this counts as a hug for the sake of powerswaps
You're welcome to join me - the class doesn't start until after the next Triple Moon. I admit, I was only looking at it out of curiosity. But if it'll make the dragon's life more pleasant then it's a better use of time than anything else I've come up with so far.
[ Hierophant coils around Adrian's shoulders, the way he always does when watching him work. He's still agitated, pulsing slightly with anger. But it's lessened by genuine interest, at least. ]
[ Which means that Adrian is dealing with Hierophant acting on its own instincts unless he wants to try to control it directly. It’s probably going to go hide in something or someone. ]
I’m assuming that he’s still there? I
[ The message stops abruptly and only continues after a few minutes, because Star apparently doesn’t like being instructed to move arms that he doesn’t have. ]
Star is with me. Please excuse the slow response, I think I am causing him some distress unless I either focus or focus on not focusing. I’m used to a stand with a very different shape and my subconscious is apparently incompatible with. Him. In general.
Yes, he's still around my shoulders. I'm sorry, I didn't think a Stand interaction like this would count as a swap.
[Adrian sighs and runs his fingers through his hair.]
I don't think it's incompatible. Just don't overthink it. Star is probably used to working on instinct, but you're someone who is more meticulous than that. That's my suggestion anyway when I still had him.
[There's a pause, then he offers also with:] Are you okay?
Ah. One moment, then. He lashes out if he's distressed. Let me make a list.
-Stay around somewhere he can hide. He'll get upset if he's in a bright open space. -Don't overheat him or he starts making these really loud fan noises. -Stay hydrated or he'll force you to drink water and it's uncomfortable. -Try not to yell at him. -Don't put him inside anyone because it feels gross and you'll get upset and that'll make him get upset and then he'll cause problems which will make you get upset and it's a horrible feedback loop.

u know it
[And maybe it might let him spend time with Kakyoin in other ways that aren't centered around trauma.
However, he receives no response afterward, and he gently nudges the green tentacles around his shoulders.]
Hierophant, didn't he hear me?
[However, Hierophant just looks at him blankly.
...Oh. Oh shit. Wait.
He immediately goes to texting Kakyoin.]
Can you still see through your Stand?

I shouldn't have thought about being blinded. I'm not sure whose glasses these are, but hopefully they didn't need them too badly.

We can try to fix it, but I have no idea if doing anything would work. We might have to wait it out.

He can be human-shaped if that's easier.

No. Not human-shaped. I like him as he is. It's
actually more comfortable for me.
