Skin. Blue as the sky skin. Cayde had a list of things he knew would likely never happen: Zavala getting that stick out of his ass, War Beasts learning to fly, and him getting flesh back. Of course, none of these things had come true, even the last one. As real as that skin felt, it wasn't really his skin. The other presence in his head, who was understandably panicked at suddenly being shoved out of the driver's seat, indicated as much.

"Hey man, I know this is a new and horrifying experience for you, but freaking out isn't going to help."

"Oh I'm sorry, I forgot it was common courtesy to remain completely calm while my body gets stolen. My bad."

"Hey come on, that's not fair, I didn't steal your body...on purpose...I think."

Well it was true. One moment, he was lying near death on the floor of that prison, the next he, was here, in the body of the man who fucking killed him-. No no no. That wouldn't do. This...this wasn't Uldren. Had his face, but it wasn't him. Having said that, he would fault him for not getting rid of that emo fringe but he'd worry about that later.

For now though...

"Crow...are you alright?" And that would be the kid's Ghost. "You've been sitting there for a while."

"I'm fine Sundan-Err I mean." Cayde started, but caught himself. No you idiot, it's not Sundance. This is Crow's Ghost, and Sundance was in thousands of pieces because he was a damned idiot who thought he was invincible.

"Glint. His name is Glint. Just thought you should know."

"Oh, well, thanks." "I'm fine Glint...just...tired that's all." Glint gave him a look that said he wasn't fully convinced, but the lil' guy seemed content to let it go for now.

"Alright...who are you...and why are you stealing my body?" Well...crap. Had to throw him that curveball, did he? Well, he sure wasn't gonna say "Oh I'm the guy your previous incarnation killed." Luckily Cayde was always...alright at lying or bluffing his way out of these situations at the very least. "Love'd to tell you buddy, but spoiler alerts you know. And only a real jerk spoils something for someone else."

"I'm not getting an answer from you am I?"

"Not telling you who I am, but I'll give you my name. It's Cayde by the way."

"Brilliant. Well nice to meet you Cayde. Could you at least give me my body back? Please tell me you can do that?"

"I think I can do that. Just need to, relax. I'm good at that. But you gotta promise me one thing. Get rid of that stupid emo haircut." Crow sighed.

"Of course, not only do I get possessed, it's by an insufferable jackass. Can't ever catch a break, can I?"

"Relax, I'm joking with ya. Anyways, I'll try to make it up to you bird brain. How does some ramen sound?"

"Sounds nice, I suppose. Just, don't call me bird brain again, alright."

Yep, this sure was going to be something.
