<span style="font-size: 22px"><span style="font-family: 'Allura', 'cursive'">Aurelia seemed surprised that she had managed summoning him.  The Guardian, while not surprised to have been summoned, felt that it was best for him to let his new mistress express herself without interrupting her.  As he listened, she introduced herself as 'Aurelia' and 'Aura to her friends'.  He found himself hoping that she might count him as one of her friends, but as they had only just met he decided not to force the issue.  Aurelia had summoned him to be her guardian and that was more than enough.<br/>
<br/>
Aurelia placed a blanket about his shoulders.  He held the gift in place with his hands.  The she led him to a stool and indicated that he ought to sit while she continued to adjust to her new situation.  She confessed that she was 'new' to summoning and seemed surprised at her success.  She was his summoner and mistress, his time was hers.<br/>
<br/>
Aurelia now seemed to move in worldly ways, to comfort for herself in a mundane fashion.  She appeared to be preparing tea.  Tea....  The idea of tea was both familiar and new at the same time.  It was a seeming contradiction.  Had he lived another life and lost many memories or was he a new being with information and memories once belonging from someone else?  It didn't matter, he looked forward to the tea either way.<br/>
<br/>
"... I need to think of a name for you," said Aurelia.  She still moved at preparing the tea, but he noticed a momentary shudder in her frame as if something disturbed the calm that she had been working at.   A few seconds later, she looked at him and asked, "How about 'Gyatso'?"  She had more words after that, but the name strongly held his attention for some seconds.  'Ocean'?  The new name reinforced what Gyatso felt as he was being formed as a guardian, a place that could be calm and pleasant yet turn violent and destructive in a storm.  Much of what an ocean was lay hidden beneath its surface....<br/>
<br/>
"Any chance you could… umm… make yourself appear to be dressed?" she asked.  "Being around a naked being… I just…"  Gyatso immediately understood that there was a nakedness taboo.  There was a lot to learn in this world.  Getting clothed in glamour was a simple matter and Gyatso quickly seemed to be wearing robes, primarily of a dark wine like color with some portions in a dull orange.<br/>
<br/>
Aurelia continued to speak, relating how her best friend had managed a summoning of a guardian with some aspects of a dragon.  Gyatso knew what a dragon was.  It seemed good to him that they were probably not going to be adversaries.  Then she went on to confess her nervousness at his presence.<br/>
<br/>
It was time for Gyatso to speak.  "Please, Aurelia, let yourself be calm.  You are in no danger from your servant.  I accept Gyatso as my name.  It pleases me that you like this name and would give it to me."  He paused briefly and then asked, "Is this acceptable 'clothing'?  To be completely honest, I don't know why, when I thought of clothing, that these particular clothes manifested.  I have much to learn."<br/>
<br/>
Then Gyatso said, "On another matter, while I have two manifestations, a canine and a human, I will be completely able to understand your words to me in either form.  If you desire to have me voice my thoughts then I will need to be in my human form.  The canine throat was not designed with human speech in mind.  I will accompany you in whichever form you prefer, but remember that my canine form has natural defenses and weapons."  He held up his left hand, "However, the human hands are marvelously designed and I believe can be very useful."<br/>
<br/>
Gyatso felt that he needed to do something.  He considered his left hand and put its thumb into his mouth.  Unseen from outside his mouth, the thumb and nail changed.  He bit down and felt his teeth cut through the nail.  When he withdrew it, the black nail had the shape of a dog's claw, a dew claw, and it was a half to three-quarters of an inch long.<br/>
<br/>
He turned the palm of his right hand upwards and placed the fragment of claw in the center of it.  It had a little residue of his spit on it.  He could find water to wash it, but she should have this bit of him now.  Again, he smiled at Aurelia, saying, "This is for you."</span></span>
