[ the look of her eyes do momentarily look concerned, more so when she rises up to go over to him, the brush of her hand coaxing the curl of his own fingers around hers as he listens to her. it'd taken a moment to get used to the doctors as they are, moving around like two separate beings on the station, but for someone who's probably not as accustomed to the kind of shift that different bodies can result in, he can imagine how unsettling it might have been for clara to witness from the outside. ]
Veuron. [ he utters with a light shrug when she seems to silently question the bottle she takes from him, only giving it a brief look of study before recognizing it from his own experience. ] Very psychedelic hallucinogen.
[ spoken with a tempting smirk, though it's likely to be one of the harder ones that he wouldn't immediately recommend for her use.
his mind, though, drifts back to her talk of the sleeves, of the personality shifts, some that would technically cause an eventual frag, and while there's the hints of concern, he at least could answer the questions he sees in her eyes. ]
When you're first transferred into a new sleeve, they put you in a room with no mirrors to avoid the immediate psychological shock, the feeling of looking at a stranger in a mirror, at watching them shift and move with you. Until you force the cut of the umbilical cord, only instead of separating you and the person in the reflection, you're severing the feeling of otherness, cutting away any feeling that the person in that mirror isn't you. Most people have a harder time with it, but Envoys were trained to fit themselves into a new sleeve much faster.
[ not that it didn't still make it hard for him in those initial moments, shaken when he'd first seen himself in ryker's body, screaming and panicking in that instant of emotionally transfer. ]
But it's ... not always simple. Plenty of side effects for a while — hallucinations, disorientation, some light amnesia. Plus, like I said, all that physical transfers like aches and addictions. And there's ... pheromones and sleeve memory. It happens. [ for the first time in a while, his mind drifts to kristin, to her history with ryker, to whether his own emotions were just a result of the body he'd found himself in. ] Feelings for someone could ... just come with the sleeve.
