"I'm Erika! Nice to meet you Adam!" she said brightly. She figured there was no harm in telling him her first name. Erika wasn't that uncommon. While running to keep up she looked at her MagiPhone. It's specialty was telling her where creatures from Hades were but sometimes it would report other disturbances.
Erika held out her phone for Adam to see. There was a map with a pulsing circle. "I'm guessing that dot's the problem!"

Adam glanced at the dot. "Can I see that for a minute?" he asked, taking her phone and turning it over in his hands. "Hm. Standard cellular phone with some rudimentary enchantments. Not bad." He then handed it back to her. "Yes, I believe that is the problem right there. Does it detect non-human life in general?"

She had given him the phone; but, she was grateful to get it back. She always felt so weak and helpless without it. The Magiphone was her conduit. She still had magical powers without it. She'd always be a blue mage; but, at least at this stage she needed its help to focus her energies and adequately tap into her power. She doubted she could transform without it.
"It's specifically attuned to pick up creatures from Hades but depending upon the range and aura it can detect other life forms. I'm not exactly sure how it works but it can pick up human interference too. It's...It's aura based. That's all I know." It wasn't much. She wish she knew more.

"Right." Adam nodded in appreciation. He was thankful that his avatar didn't give off an aura. It would be awkward explaining how he was actually a cloud of smoke to a person he just met. "Then let's follow it. Lead the way!"

Erika glanced back down in her phone and started walking in the direction indicated. "Don't you want to transform or something first?" she asked him, continuing to follow the pulsing dot. "Do you fight like that?"

"I'll transform later." Adam said. "If I fought like this, I'd damage the suit."

"Just be careful. I still don't really get what I saw but your form was all...twisted and wrong." She shrugged helplessly, eyes still trained on her phone. She really hadn't understood that vision. It had just been awful.

Adam raised an eyebrow. "I'm not that bad looking, am I?"

Erika chuckled. "No! Not like that!" Her thoughts returned to the vision. What had she seen? What did it mean? "Um...Just...Your form...It was...It was breaking apart or being altered, molded into something it was never intended and um...There was this purple stone...I really don't get it but the stone was somehow important and it you..." She gave up. She didn't understand her vision no mater how much she thought about it.

Adam listened to her with interest. Had she worked out what he truly was? Did she know about him being in control of a shape-changer? It was probably best to play it cool.
...yeah, I don't get that."

"Maybe it sounds normal to you. I...I'm not sure what it was but I know you're not what you appear to be. You can change forms. But it wasn't like that. This wasn't your doing. You were being compelled to change, molded by something else that wanted to use you." She had no idea what he was; but, that didn't bother her. He was sentient and kind. Maybe he was a special kind of mage who could transform more than others. Maybe he was something from Hades. Didn't matter. He wasn't an enemy.

Adam's nitpicking sense kicked in at that statement. "It kind of is my doing. I'm only controlling this ava...oops." He stopped immediately.

"Controlling this ava...?" she prompted him curiously. "Please tell me how it works!" she said intrigued. "I promise I won't judge you. I'm just really curious!" She reigned in her curiosity for a moment. "But however it normally works, it was different this time. You were in pain and something else was making you change. It wasn't your doing," she insisted.

"Alright, alright." Adam sighed. "I'm actually a cloud of gas living in a crystal on another planet, which is linked to other clouds of gas in a hive mind. To interact with solids-that's you and anyone else with a body-we control these shape-changing avatars using a psychokinetic link. With me so far?"

Erika nodded her head, dazzled. "Wow," she breathed. "That's amazing!" She echoed his earlier sentiment. "That's so cool!"
