Valentine:...and so now he's real. I'm sorry! I should have hidden the lamp or something.
Ash: It's ok. Fortunately Himemiya didn't do anything bad, like make him human at his natural age, which would be about five.
Eric: I don't see what the problem is. I really don't feel any different. I don't look any different.
Ash: It isn't a problem Eric, we're just worried. You don't have any experience being human. You never needed to do things like sleep or eat before. Your body is more fragile now.
Valentine: You're going to have to be more careful until you get used to it! If you forget to eat, you'll starve. If you forget to sleep, you'll go crazy. If you try to move furniture by picking the sofa up with one arm and walking away with it... well you can't. You'll hurt yourself.
Ash: Anyway, what's done is done. He can sleep in my bed tonight, because I'll just be working in the lab anyway. Tomorrow we'll set him up a bunk somewhere.
Valentine: I'll cook him something.
Elsewhere:
Magma: Damnit, I go and get changed into something boring like she asks and she's already gone.
Nightshade: Hello again.
Magma: Hi.
Nightshade: Sorry about earlier. I really thought you were Eric. You look so much alike.
Magma: Yeah. I know.
Nightshade: So is this what you really look like or is it another one of your disguises? Because you're much less creepy than when you were a man-Ash.
Magma: Thanks. So what do you do around here, anyway?
Nightshade: Oh, I just stopped through looking for someone. I don't live here. I have a lair on the other side of town for y'know, taking over the world. You should come by sometime.
Magma: Sure, why not?
Later:
Eric: Thanks Ash. I was worried you'd be upset.
Ash: Why would I be? Now get under the covers, get comfortable, and just let your mind relax and stop thinking.
Eric: Is sleeping hard?
Ash: Not usually, but it sometimes is. If you can't sleep, come down to the lab and I'll give you some pills to help.
Later still:
Magma: Ash... I have a huge surprise for you.
Eric: AAAA!
Ash: ??
