[Being a moving tree is better than being human. Knives doesn't bother to clarify.]

I have a brother as well, who looks as I do. But if you ever met any of the females of my kind you would never mistake us for anything close to human. ..It can't be helped.

[Knives accepted his appearance a long time ago. It didn't bother him now, and well, if she thought he was a veggie, and was a fish-eater, he'd be permanently off the menu.]

Though if I may ask, as looks obviously can be deceiving.. what are you? I had assumed some sort of fish, as I have seen.. very, very few types of fish but they too have scales and live in the water, but that doesn't seem to quite match up.

[Possibly the wings. Maybe.]
