Both Lissas blinked in unison, and took a hesitant step towards each other.
“I... I think I control both bodies,” said the two Lissas in unison, reaching out with her right hands to brush against her faces, her movements perfectly mirrored.
“And how do you feel?” Miriel asked with her right head.
“Honestly, I feel really weird,” said both Lissas at once. “I feel like I’m wearing clothes, but I also feel like I’m not, but I can see that I’m wearing clothes, but I can also see that I’m not wearing clothes and... urgh!”
Both Lissas groaned in frustration and shook her heads in exactly the same way.
“Yes, I felt something similar when I acquired my second head,” said Miriel with her left head. “That is part of the reason I have been alternating which head I have been speaking with. I am training myself to use my heads independently.”
“Yeah, but you only had to get used to two heads. I have to get used to having two bodies,” the two Lissas said in unison. As the two Lissas spoke, the head on her original body turned to face Miriel, causing the head on her new body to turn in the opposite direction.
“Yes, I believe I have an idea that could help you adjust,” said Miriel with her left head. She turned her right head to Anna and said, “Anna? Could you please find Lissa some clothes and a blindfold?”
“Yeah, I guess,” said Anna, walking around the corner and out of sight. “Not sure what you want the blindfold for, though.”
“My plan is to blindfold Lissa’s original body, then have her dress her new body,” said Miriel with both heads, looking at Lissa with her left head and at the corner Anna had gone around with her right head. “My hypothesis is that Lissa will adapt faster if she cannot see out of one of her bodies.”
“Huh,” said the two Lissas. “Well, I’m willing to give it a shot, at least.”
Anna soon came back with a bundle of clothes. “I don’t know how well these will fit,” said Anna.
“That’s okay,” said the two Lissas, having returned to looking at herselves. She was also running her hands up and down her bodies, moving in perfect unison.
Miriel took the blindfold from the pile of clothes and walked up to Lissa’s original body.
“Once I have blindfolded your original pair of eyes, I am also going to hold your original arms still,” said Miriel with her right head. “Is that acceptable?”
“Yep,” said the two Lissas, nodding. “I’m ready.”
“Very well,” said Miriel with her left head. She wrapped the blindfold around the eyes of Lissa’s head and tied it, then reached down and grabbed Lissa’s wrists.
“Anna, if you would, please give Lissa’s new body her clothes,” said Miriel, speaking with her right head, which she turned towards Anna.
Anna nodded, and walked up to Lissa’s naked body.
“Here you go,” said Anna, holding the clothes out.
“Thanks,” said both Lissas in unison. Both Lissas tried to reach out for the clothes, but Miriel kept her grip on Lissa’s original arms. The arms on Lissa’s new body also jerked to a stop, but soon continued and picked up the smallclothes that were at the top of the pile. As Lissa’s naked body began dressing herself, Lissa’s original arms and legs twitched as she tried to perform the same actions with both bodies. However, by the time Lissa’s new body had finished dressing itself, these twitches had almost completely stopped.
“Well, that was weird,” said Lissa’s second body, now dressed in poorly fitting clothes.
“Can I take this blindfold off now?” Lissa asked with her original body.
“Yes, of course,” said Miriel with her left head, releasing her hold on Lissa’s arms. The arms on Lissa’s original body reached up and fumbled with the knot on the blindfold for a few seconds. She soon untied it, and handed the blindfold to Miriel.
“So, how do you feel now?” Anna asked.
“It still feels really weird, but I’m getting used to it,” said Lissa’s second body, turning to face Anna.
“That blindfold trick helped a lot,” said Lissa’s original body, facing Miriel. “Thanks, Miriel.”
“My pleasure,” said Miriel with her right head. “Now, how do you wish to proceed?”
