There is a fond smile on Obi-Wan’s face as well as Gosalyn runs off to care for the goat. That girl has brought a bit of joy back into his life, and that was invaluable for him, especially in this world. He then goes back to his cooking, always mindful of the open flame that is on the burner of the stove and wearing gloves to protect his hands just in case.
Xingchen’s quick question though gets his attention and he glances at the man as he now sits.
“I believe there are a few. Gargoyles turn into stone during the day, or so I have heard.” Which clearly is not Xingchen’s issue.
“Werewolves and werebears turn into animals at night if I recall correctly.”
Xingchen might have to provide some more details in order to narrow it down.
No, no, he certainly isn't a gargoyle based on that description. As for werewolves and werebears... Xingchen would hardly say that he turns into an animal, but some of his features do shift to a much more animal-like shape. "What if one doesn't turn into an animal, necessarily," he inquires, "But gains some of the traits of one?"
A beat, and then he thinks to add, "Canine traits, as far as I can tell. Oh, but please - do tell me if you need my assistance with any manner of cooking, I can smell such heat from here." He can't imagine the peril one must experience on a daily basis, to be so terribly flammable.
"I think that runs along the same vein, actually. Admittedly I don't know much about them, but I have met people who are those types of monsters."
There is the sounds of some movement and then Obi-Wan is placing a plate in front of Xingchen. The smell of cooked eggs is very obvious. "Thank you, but there is no need. I'm just finishing up and I assure you that I take every precaution. Gosalyn has been a great help to me in that regard."
He then moves away and turns off the stove, while also cleaning up a bit, before he sits down himself and waits for Gosalyn to come back. A plate having been set at both of their places as well.
"It does sound to me that you might very well be a werewolf. Particularly if those changes happen at night. Majima is also one, and I would recommend getting advice from him should you need it."
