"Ah. Heh. No. I don't think that'll be a problem. Seems like the problem around here is more often the same people showing up with different faces." She's been hit with a few too many LOLs; Blaze doesn't even want to think about an actual alternate showing up. "Why, have you ever met an alternate version of yourself?"

Ghost doesn't seem to mind answering, for what that's worth; even his surprise is wearing off as they talk and he relaxes a little. Blaze is trying her best not to interrupt her shy partner. Adia seems quite safe to talk to, after all.

"Oh, yes. And once we've bonded with a Guardian, they can recognize us too. Other people don't, um, need to as much." He flexes his shell in what looks like uncertainty before he ventures, "Do people often try to nickname you? It doesn't seem necessary."

Blaze seems taken aback when Adia flinches like that. "Hey, relax. I'm not mad at you. And I guess you've got a point about your priorities. I just don't understand why people wouldn't be on board with precautions like handwashing when the situation's so critical."
