( Wary...That's certainly a word for it. Masking, at least as a Novice, asks for something Lamorak doesn't like to employ - a sense of honesty. The principles of transformation are easy enough, but to shift into a form that is comfortable and true - means looking at yourself and being willing to express it.

He knows what he wants - it's the same thing he's wanted since he was a child. But perhaps he's not keen on facing the disappointment that might come with compromising what would really be the most comfortable thing for him. Unless he does graduate into Blue Court and learn of all their transformation secrets... But how badly does he want to satisfy his own need, in comparison to how badly he wants to be of aid to others? Will that desire change, the closer to vampire he becomes?

All that text aside - externally, Lamorak just seems like he's thinking, and thinking quite a bit. Finally, he clasps his hands together. Enough gravity; enough thoughts. Levity, please! )

Well, there's no way but to forward but to try it, I suppose. In the end, the only person I can disappoint is myself.

( Once technical skill is accounted for, all that's left is how you feel about it - more or less Norton's point. )

If anything, I know I want to look pre~tty different... I hope you won't mind.
