You can't help looking back at Ixion. Both of the centaurs are impressive, beautiful creatures, but he captures your imagination like nothing else you have ever seen. You realize he is smiling back at you and flush slightly, but don't look away. "Ixion, I was wondering..." You look at the bottle you have been drinking from, then back at him. "Do you have anything that -would- change me into a centaur?"
Rachel stares at you, but the centaurs don't seem all that surprised. Themis smiles. "I was wondering if you would get up the courage to ask. You interest has been pretty obvious."
"What do you mean? You wanna be a fre.. " Rachel catches herself, but is still angry. "A mythical creature? How could you go back like that? What about your family? What about me?"
You look at Rachel, feeling guilty and confused by your desires. "Don't you see what a great thing this is? A chance to become something more than human? Something.. amazing? They are beautiful!"
Ixion smiles slightly, but then raises an eyebrow. "Your friend is correct, young man. You would not be able to leave our land. For more serious reasons than being a centaur.

"Several ways?" You understand the whole horse thing, but if you become a centaur why would you want to go back, anyway? "What ways are there?"
Themis places a hand across her chest. "You can nurse from me and become a foal. Or perform sexual acts with either me or Ixion and become an appropriate mate. We are not shy about such things, only mindful of the consequences. And we do not wish anyone to be changed against thier will."
"No!" Rachel jumps up. "You can't become a centaur! You have to go back with me! Right now!"
Her temper display has the opposite effect of what she wants. You suddenly realize that you no longer care what she wants. This is YOUR life. You look at the two centaurs with a smile.
"It would be a great honor and priviledge to be a centaur. If you are both willing, I will do anything to become..."
