"Okay," I nod.

Eli

I nod and get back to work, sighing.

Clem
I get back to work and sigh.

Eli

I hesitate before picking up everything and heading outside to see what's up for myself.

Clem

I follow him, glancing around.

Eli

I head into the forest and feel my skin scale over, morphing into a kanima and leaping into the canopy.

Clem

I freeze when I see that and swallow, backing up.

Eli

I crawl along the treetops before coming across a commotion. Not finding it of any importance, I crawl back to the opening and am just about to morph back when I spot a horrified Clementine.

Clementine

Still freaked out, and back up some more before running.

Eli

I bolt after her and drop, cutting her off. Whipping my tail behind me, I crouch and hold a hand up.

Clem

Confused, I don't take his hand or anything, stumbling backwards, "What the..."

Eli

I calm myself and keep my hand up, waiting for contact.

Clem

I study him before taking his hand, swallowing.

Eli

I flick my tail again before moving cautiously closer. I spot my reflection before gently breaking contact and disappearing into the trees.

Clem

I watch him go before letting my kanines grow and my night vision to kick in. I just keep it at that and glance around the trees, fully shifting into a wolf And running deeper into the woods when I don't see him.
