"Incomplete...yeah, I suppose it would." Erin's face shadows with old pain. "I had something else grafted onto it a long time ago, like a citrus tree but with significantly more butchery. Am what I am now. Kinda like what I am now? But I'm afraid I can't exactly turn it off. I can pull a hat trick to make the new element smaller but that won't make the straightforwardly human part of me any bigger, so." Erin shrugs.

"If it causes ongoing discomfort you don't gotta be around me. I won't go beating down your door or trying to sell you cookies, but I'm not going to apologize for it. It wasn't my fault."

Her ears twitch, just once. Erin turns her head towards the elevator door and sighs. "There are stairs, stairs exist, I just figured...y'know. Speed might be of the essence."
