I pick up the acorn, shifting so I can eat it. Yum. Anyway. "Yeah. I am. So... mhm." I shift to my human form, studying him. He has a scar, and his brother killed his family. Seems quite like my life story. I feel really bad for him, suddenly. Poor guy.

I shift into a human, listening to the faint music. "So... did you come here with anybody? To the festival?" I say, trying to make a conversation. I suddenly feel very aware of the scars that cover my body.

"No." I said. I didn't have anyone to come with, anyway, so why did I suddenly feel embarrassed? "Did you? And I didn't catch your name."

"No, my whole family is dead, I have no friends, and if my extended family knew I was alive, they already have nothing to do with me. My name is Pierce. Whats yours?" I look back at the tree and remember I left my things there. "Ill be right back." I say awkwardly and shift to my hawk, reaching the tree in seconds. I grab my notebook and pencil and fly back to the girl.

Hmm. Pretty much same life story as me. But he could be lying. I mean, he obviously reads minds or whatever. "I'm Lyka. Nice to meet you. Also, you have really good art!"

I hand her the notbook. "I just do small sketches. want to get something to eat? Its almost dinner time and I havent eaten since yesterday morning." I shift to fox and crouch playfully before shifting back to a human.

Yesterday morning? Wha- anyway, "Sure! I'd love to!" I wonder what he wants to find. I'm up for anything.

I stand up and hold my hand out. Once Lyka stood up I started walking to the music. I feel my ears pin to my head. Great. MY wolf ears came. I mmble softly until they dissapear. I stop and say, "Hmm... Steak, or Hot dogs..."

I pad next to him as a big collie, listening to everything he says. I haven't had steak or hot dogs in so long! I bet they taste good.

I glance down at her. You know, if you dont want to talk out loud, talk in your head. I smile as she stares wide eyed at me. Im thinking hot dogs. What about you?
