I shift into my human form too. I haven't changed much since school. Just grown a little. I push some hair out of my eyes and look at the figurine. "Those are really good. Did you take an art class or something?" I ask. Wow (pronounciation drawn out)

Pierce shook his head. "Nah. Just living in the wild for more than ten years does stuff. I just find stuff in nature and copy it." He said turning away and grabbing this time an arrow and bow. "Made these too. It's etter for whn hunting season comes around and I don't want to get shot." He said, wincing slightly of the memory. "Learned that the first year here.."

"Oof, I wasn't even near here that long ago. You know it's ironic to travel all the way to go to a good school just have it turned out to be not so good and the fact that it can't protect you. Or that all the students had more bravery than the teachers." I laugh a lot. "Isn't hunting season soon?" I say. He's 1 inch taller than me. That is annoying. Should I stand on my tiptoes? Or would that be too obvious. I hope He's blocking me right now. Think about something else. Anything else. Cows?!

Pierce laughed. "Hmm. Cows. And it's pretty easy to tell when your annoyed. You clench your teeth." he said, surprised that he remembered such a small detail. "Anyway, want to see the observatory? It's at the top of the mountain. It's not far. Just up the ladder. Though I like to fly up." He said, shifting to his hawk and flying through the medium sized shaft that the rope ladder hung.

"That thought surprised me. I would have choose something more dignified." I walk to the hole in the roof and look up. I shift into my hawk form to and fly up. My hawk is a Harris hawk, or a wolf hawk. (Black with red shoulders). I use my wings to propel me upwards and into a small landing over the trees. Is that my house? In the distance? I wonder what my cat is doing? Probably being a loaf.

Shifting, Pierce laughed, then sighed, looking out towards the town. "The town... isn't for me. It never was, espesially after I had lived in the forest for 9 years. before the school, of course. But that was a...." He scrunched his nose in frustration, trying to find the right words. "A shit show.." He said, sighing again. "Or problematic, if you should say. Woke up some... things, in me. Like when Skylar turned into a monster." He said, wincing. I still remember his face after. It was different. Not Skylar, but some other creature. And his odd monster pet... He shook his head, shaking the memory out of his mind. "Enough about me. What have you been up to?"
