In theory, though at this moment in time it is difficult to prove. It is usually ... reactive. It allows me access to several powers, as well as the ability to connect with others with the tadpole as well.
[ LEANING BACK EVER SO SLIGHTLY. he doesn't actually mind, he's just like. are you gonna grab my eyeball. ]
Alright alright. Quite excited I see. This feels perhaps edging on a little intimate for a first meeting.
[ there really isn't anything obvious from just the outside. he straight up meant like, pulling the eyelid up as far as you can and then wiggling around in there. ]
A ... bard suggested he was uncannily adroit with a knitting needle, and I thought to let him at least examine it. And then came to the inevitable conclusion I was most certainly going to lose an eye if I let him attempt the extraction.
[ Personal space is no obstacle to Aventurine, but he keeps his hands to himself... No eyeball grabbing.
But he'll back off now that he can't see anything. Tch. ]
That was a very smart call on your part, friend. A knitting needle by the eye sounds disastrous. [ That's the stuff of horror films. ] And you look better with two eyes.
[ he does, in fact, preen a little. sorry his ego is not small. ]
I happen to entirely agree! At any rate, I doubt it would have worked. I've read that the traditional extraction method is something along the lines of preparing a Cleric on standby with a scroll of Resurrection and smashing the head so the brain is destroyed entirely.
On this we are agreed again. Besides, it wouldn't work for this particular tadpole, they are enchanted in some way that makes them especially stubborn.
Well! I fear that's quite enough about me. What about your brain parasites?

But of course, none of that is working here.

[ "Think" he's not sure actually. ]

[ he pauses. ]
Though I'm given to understand if you look under my eyelid at the correct angle, you can in fact, see the parasite.

[ Gets RIGHT IN HIS SPACE to try and see it. ]

[ Gale, you are so endearing, but the things you say. ]
Let's keep that brain in that handsome noggin of yours. I don't think we have a Cleric around here.

... I don't have any. And it's strange because you're making me feel like I'm missing out on something by not having them.
