[ The change in topic seems to affect Howl immediately. His internal voice feels heavier, somehow. Truthfully, he's wanted to voice his anxieties over the Regent for days now... but the nature of the anxieties themselves made it difficult to do so with another Kenoma. ]
He, or she, is difficult to describe. Another person might give you a very different answer.
[ One not so tainted with Howl's deep sense of unease, although he finds it hard to image someone not being at least a little put off by them. Even those who seem to be his immediate pets. ]
The Regent showed up wearing a mask that obscured not just their face, but their entire head. When they speak, it isn't with one voice. It's more like many voices, both male and female, all talking in unison. And while mny minutes passed at the dinner without the Regent addressing me directly, I somehow felt their eyes on me the entire time. That has to be impossible, with how intensely their conversation with the others got at points, and yet...
[ Could it be something like their voice - multiple gazes looking at everyone at the same time, in unison? Or was that feeling just a manifestation of Howl's fear? ]
...They scolded me, and several of the others, for not doing more to stop you. But it seems your escape from the chamber was by their design as well, to test us. In hindsight, that teleportation spell was very convenient, wasn't it.
