Quote:Rob, why exactly do you think turning into a twelve year old girl is an advantage (if anything it just makes him more of a target for Susan's cosplaying quirks).The boskonian on the other end of the radio continued with, "The escaped prisoner is a 27-year-old male, 5'1" tall..."
Not any more, I'm not, Alex thought while walking past the field agents looking for him, er, her.
It's also useful for blending in with Hogwarts classes (say, if Alex needed to make another twelve-year-old less uncomfortable), and a smaller body uses less oxygen.
Edit: Alex/Ruri also gets the youth price at the movies, and - if (s)he's willing to act "cute" - other benefits at various other shops, depending on how well the shopkeeper reacts to cute tweens.
