i don't have arms, though. i wonder if i'd have arms as a human. maybe i could ask the elder snakes. i have heard of other mirror creatures, like mirror cats or mirror deer, but i've never met any.
it'd be so cool to meet them. maybe they'd have arms. maybe the mirror cats actually feel things other than confusion. maybe mirror dogs can leave the mirror, or make their human happy.
... what if i just walked out of the mirror? or a mirror, this little one he uses wouldn't do. is there another mirror nearby... yes, there is. and it's a vanity mirror, so that should do well. i'll wait for him to see, though. he doesn't normally do well with surprises.
