[ How had this happened? A sneeze? A hiccup? A belch? A misplaced thought?

Days ago, the birds twittered and fussed; cawed and clamored, and she had truly promised to do all she could, but she could only find the little ones. The small feathers, and who knew if this would help? But on she collected, doing her best. Then this had happened, two days ago, a day? She can't quite recall.

She's been learning to walk again, and her thoughts fly away with her mouth. A situation both wonderful and troublesome!

But here she is in the round mirror of the locket—woman or half-beast; a tiny girl materialized from sunbeam and breezes. She's wiry, more hair—full and framing and wisping at the temples; tangled with leaves, grass or flower-seeds, and burrs—than body. It keeps her modest, but barely: she's quite visibly nude and pale. The canines in her smile are too sharp: the wolf that won't allow itself to be suffocated under this trick. And the wolf boasts its ears through her mop of hair. Behind her, unseen, at the end of her spine it keeps its tail. ]

Hello, [ how nice it is to speak it. ] my body is different now. It does not keep the cold out. Is there someone—

I'm curious about clothes. I'll do my best to repay any help. [ Her narrow shoulders come up, then fall, as if she isn't sure what else to say. Starting conversation isn't very easy, and she's always been more suited to listening. ] And... conversation, I think, I would like that so very much.

[ Oh, boy. She'd have nicknames by the plenty for him if she knew he was burdened by it. ]

A wolf.

A...wolf?

[Okay that's not surprising considering the wolf ears and what not, but-]

What, are wolves in your world really smart or something?

[Since man, you sure mastered human speech fast]

All wolves are really smart, [ while trying not to sound tickled. ]

Uh, if you say so my dear- but I can't recall ever having conversations with the wolves back home.

Oh, this. My talking. Yes, I can do that now, though I've always been able to understand language. I'll admit—it's a little embarrassing—days ago, all I could manage was 'Hello'. There I was, running up to everyone as usual, but instead of only wagging my tail I said 'Hello!' very excitedly. It made me so happy to do it, because they understood and said hello back, or scrunched their faces up at me.

Then, I started to copy words, to learn their shapes in my mouths. Being human is really something!

[That...makes him snicker. Because frankly it's cute to imagine and he could imagine Noishe doing that if he was turned human.] I see. Well then- [Very cheerfully] Hello!

[And back to a more normal tone]

Still, it's impressive you learned that fast. And haha, yeah, being human has it's perks alright!

Like these! [ And she cups herself, completely unabashed. ]

I've always wondered about them, and now, I have my own! If I get back to my body, I'll miss them. They're soft. I hadn't realized how much!

[ No, Ammy. ]

--!!!

[Okay even Zelos, dirty as he is, has a moment of shock and a rare jaw drop as she just starts cupping herself and talking about her boobs. WHOA GIRL WTF WE'RE OVER PUBLIC BROADCAST.]

[But, being that this is Zelos, he gets over the shock quickly]

- Ahahaha! Yep! There's nothing softer than a pair of melons! A mighty fine feature of a human woman, if I say so myself!

Melons, yes; this is what Issun calls them, too! [ Just so gleeful. She loves humans, okay? ]

What is your favorite part about being human?

[He chuckles. He doesn't know who Issun is, but still- this wolf girl is kinda adorable]

My favorite part of being human? [And oh, that question. He pauses just a little because well- he wasn't one anymore. At least...not fully. It's a bit of a touchy subject for him. But he knows Amaterasu has nothing to do with his problem, so he doesn't share that bit. Might as well just go with one of the things he misses]

...Probably eating. Wolves just mostly eat raw meat right? Well, humans have a lot more to choose from- and it's all pretty tasty!

[ Her tail is wagging over this, oh boy! ] Yes! [ It's almost a joyful yip. ] Most wolves do only eat raw meat, but I've eaten the things people cook, and I can never have enough! It's so delicious! I love cake!

What's your favorite food, Zelos?

[Okay, that'll get him to laugh] Have you now? You must be a pretty special wolf to get fed cake!

[And not throw it up too!]

I like fish. Snapper, Tuna- it's all good to me!

Fish is delicious! [ Yumm. Maybe a favorite is hard to pick. ]

Let's eat a meal together one day. I'll try not to hog it.

A meal with someone as sweet as you? I'd like that!

But don't worry, my dear - I don't eat all that much anyway, so you don't have to starve on my behalf.

Now, you're just being too kind toward me. Please eat as much as will make you the happiest!

I'm not, really! I'll be plenty happy with your company!

If I change back before then, will you still eat with me?

You mean if you turn back into being a wolf?

[a pause]

...Sure. Why not? Not like I have a lot of people to share meals with here.

Thank you! See? You are kind! Many people take a swipe at me in my real body if I get too close to their food.

[Ew he's being called kind. He gives a little huff and sounds a tad on the defensive side]

Yeah well, just don't go eating right off my plate or bring a whole pack of friends, or I might change my mind.

I'll try to remember that.

[ She can't help sounding delighted. ]

You better.

And...try not to spread this around too much, okay?
