I cannot lie to you. Even in that form, had I tried-- I would have doubled over as though physically ill, until I told the truth.
I take my promises very seriously, whether I remember them or not.
[Seeing as he's not being pushed away-- he poofs a handkerchief into his hand, reaching up to slowly dab at the tears in the corners of Chuuya's eyes. He's never seen Chuuya cry this much... to think he was the source of that pain, of magnifying the pain caused by losing his home and nearly losing his pet, causes a heavy weight to coil up in the pit of his stomach that he's not quite sure how to deal with.]
But he is through and through the same bird. Animals experience trauma just as humans do -- but I don't believe he was aware enough of his surroundings to know what was happening.
[J-Just in case that thought crosses Chuuya's mind. Not that Apollo would ever be able to put two and two together for how Chuuya's powers work, but still.]
The power to restore life was one I learned from the Natha. But given the nature of a demon's blood-- for him plumage to change color like that indicates that a small amount of my power now exists within him. I can't imagine it would have any great effect when so small... but it's possible he may have gained anything from a boosted immune system to a significantly longer lifespan.
