Ryder A security guard comes, carries her into the medic's room, and allows me to follow behind like a lost pet.

Ryder I land beside her and squawk, waiting for someone to notice.

Ryder I feel something burning, and when I open my eyes I'm half my original size and covered in feathers. A beak stretches past the end of my vision. Before ...

Ryder I watch her, it paining me how much trouble she has, before closing my eyes and focusing.

Ryder I flash a smile, "I don't care about getting sick, Val. Let's get moving though, alright? So you can get better."

Ryder I kiss her quickly, making her look at me, "I'll be right behind you. Promise."

Ryder I swear and help her back up, "Please, Val."

Ryder I set her on her feet, "V-val, I need you to walk for me. I'm going to try something. I'll be right behind you, I promise. I won't leave."

Ryder Could I turn myself fully then? I nod and take her to the edge of the forest, hesitating.

Ryder I nod and scoop her up standing, "Okay then. Wait... what if you turned me into an animal when we got there? Then there wouldn't be any problems."

Ryder I kiss her cheek, "I'll try not to. If they take me away though..."

Ryder I sit up and take her with me, feeling her forehead, "I-I'm going to take you back. You're sick. You need help."

Ryder I study her, "What's wrong?"

Ryder I look at Val, "You okay?"

Ryder I wake but don't open my eyes, tired still.
