[She scratches her head, squinting briefly and wrinkling her nose.]
... Y'know, I feel like I've seen him the way he looked before, at least once. On one of the weird weekends.
Looked a little like France.
... 'Cept nerdier.
... And a little less gay.
[THAT LAST BIT IS SAID WITH A LOWERED VOICE, because even though she doesn't mean it as an insult in the slightest, it'd still be a little awkward if France happened to be like, standing behind her or something.]
Yeah, I was saying to Greed a bit ago that the people who used to be animals must have it the roughest.
Showing up here to begin with is enough of a shock to the system. Doing it in a totally new body would be even weirder.
[And hell, the Homunculi are humanoid to begin with and even they have to adjust to all the little... human things. Which kind of cycles back to the beginning of this conversation.]
I can only imagine how difficult that must be. Bad enough to deal with biological functions and needing sleep and having a sex drive that acts on its own. To be completely altered like that, bones and organs and limb structure...
[She can't begin to conceive what it must be like.]
I think I'd spend a week in bed, angry at my own body.
[... A-active sex drive? The sleep and biological functions bits Heather had known about, but no one had ever mentioned the other thing. They didn't have sex drives normally? NEW INFO. SHE DOESN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT THOUGH. The topic's already a little awkward and she doesn't know Lust well enough to say anything bratty about it like she might with Envy.]
Ahahh... yeah, I know a few of 'em had... a pretty hard time adjusting.
[Nobody had stayed in bed angry at their bodies that she was aware of, but there had been that time six quite attractive young twenty-somethings had all yanked their pants down in front of the camera to flash their butt tattoos and then been really confused about why everyone was so scandalized.]
[TURNS OUT THEY WERE PONIES.]
I mean, hell, if the biological parts are confusing, all the dumb rules humans have to follow about everything are even weirder.

That sounds like what I imagined, I'm sure you're right.
[She's seen the rest of his family, after all.]
I'm glad that this place just transmutes our biology, it doesn't change what we look like. We have enough identity problems already.
