"Based on casual observation, we didn't come through the summoning entirely intact. Each of us seems to be missing some things." Such as perhaps, fire affinity of tiny behemoths. Or his own durability. He was as strong as he expects to be, as quick ... but much more easily exhausted, and injury actually caused problems, whether or not he was well used to ignoring them.

What else was missing? Did he really have to worry about infections or illness now after all?

What should and should not be was no longer relevant. "..Good." Taken care of was better than being left open. Weakness would get them killed. "For all that it's not ideal, focusing on what.. should not be necessary seems a waste."

It in no way prevented him from worrying about it, himself. Or the changes going on. The fact that his teeth never changed back, or that he'd felt the need to start a fight of all things over something so utterly unnecessary as who had the right to push around who.

Things he'd never felt necessary before.

"What.. was I?" The follow up question is quiet. What sort of thing was he becoming?
