Lord Jonga (Ch.118)

~We run carelessly to the precipice, after we have put something before us to prevent us seeing it~

-Blaise Pascal

Lord Jonga shifted and twisted in his sitting position countlessly before taking a deep breath to calm himself.

This skin of an elder he had stolen was extremely uncomfortable, with it's wrinkly skin, long and itchy beards, overgrown hair and bony structure, Lord Jonga found every single thing about this body unsettling.

Being from a race that did not grow hairs, adapting to the hairs possessed by any human form he took on was extremely difficult, but this human form in particular was really too uncomfortable.

Lord Jonga ignored the concerned glances the other elders sitting at his sides passed him due to his constant shuffling, how could they understand his predicament? They were all in their own skin, whereas he was in the skin of some aged geezer with an agonizing tooth ache.
