I wasnt sure how to describe it at frst, but after a moments hesitation, i decided to act on my first impression.

It looked like a teenager.

That anorexic form, that crooked hunch of a back, that larynx, indicating its male sex and body...

Indeed, most definatly, a teenager.

Everything about him screamed it.

Exept the fact that it was only the trose and thighs of a teenager. And that the rest of his body was pretty much a huge slime. And that this slime, inclusing his body, had a warm, yellow-ish sheen to it.

Only the most basic things were that of a human. The rest were most definatly that of a monster.

Hm.

This form looks somwhat... Familiar.

I havent seen anything like it, except...

Myself...

My own body, only barely resembeing that of a child (little girl)...

His could be called the same, to an extent.

However, my thoughts were cut short by a deep, almost growlig, yet also fleeting and uncertain, voice, both veverbating through the cave as well as shrinking away into the tunnel behing it.

”Ummm, d-, dhudd, plehz, donnt”

”Huh?”

Hans made a strange sound and looked at me.

”Isnt that... Isnt that the same language you speak?...”

”Might be... Try speaking...”

I coughed, and prepeared to speak like fifty words more than id actually like. I think i might be getting a bit too used to speaking only one or two words...

”Ehem. Hello there, hello hello. What are you? A fellow?”

”H-, Huh? Yoo spikk ingrish two?”

”Um, yes. Is-, Is your tounge a bit sore?”

”No, z two begg”

”Ah, i feel you. I felt the same when i first humanized. Ah, good times...”

”Sooo... Wiel eet gett betr?”

”Um, yes. Youll get used to it. Though i presume you dont know swedish yet. Am i correct in this presumption?”

”Ummmmmm, i gues so? I dunno dudd.”

”Ill take that as a yes... Well, on the other hand, why did you trabsform only now and not earlier? Actually, forget that. Are you human?”

”Wha-, ummm, like... I couldn’ befo? a’ ye, im hoomn.”

”Couldnt? But i saw your screen thing... You should have-,”

”My dood, i only lernd dis now. And by skreen, doo yoo mean mei Status?”

”Status? Im not sure what youre saying, but... I suppose so? Then again, ive got no reason to doubt you except that you made an attempt on me and Hans over here’s lives.”

”M-, Mei dood! I was blind! Wiffh raggae!”

”Rage, huh? You sure it wasnt a rational decition?

”Ye!”

”Right, right. Well, whats stopping me from just absorbing you right now to put you out of your misery?”

”Aim hooman! Promis! Was only reincarnated ass slajm!”

”...Reincarnated?...”

”Ye! Buss hit me, mann! I ded!”

”...A buss? So... Youre from earth, then?...”

”Y-, U2!?”

”Um, yeah... So... Youre really human, then?”

”Ye!”

”Well... I hardly think stealing carrots is all you can do with this new chance at life. Right?”

”...Right...”

”So... What will you do now?”

”I got no family, mann... No hoom...”

”So... What will you do now?”

”Ca-, Can i... Go with you?...”

”With us?”

”Y-, Yeah, i mean... Until i find another place to settle down, that is...”

”...Right... Well, i-... I... I sure would like another friend... S-, Sure! come on along!”

”R-, Really!? May I!?!”

”Hans!”

”W-, What is it, Bob?...”

”He join!”

”He?... Who?...”

”Slime! He join! Go! With us!”

”Um, what”
