Beast Harry

Altodd: ... Will you promise me to go home if there is no cure?

Mia: *sighs, slightly exasperated* Altodd...

Altodd: *With a snarl in his already-monstrous voice* PROMISE ME, Mia!

Mia: *jumps a little, a bit shocked by the sudden raise in volume* !! ...

Altodd: D:> ... Don't, don't do that -- Come on - just... Please. Promise me.

Mia: ...And what if I don't, hm?

Altodd: ... Then I'll be upset.

Mia: I don't want to leave you...

Altodd: ... But you NEED to.

Mia: We already discussed this, Altodd, I can take care of myself...

Altodd: ... But if you get seriously hurt or sick, who will be able to help you?

Mia: I can go out to a town, get medicine, and come back. Easy peasy.

Altodd: ... Not if it's serious, Mia.

Mia: You're really not going to be getting rid of me that easily. :/

Altodd: *With a sad look and a sigh* ... I know.

Mia: ... *lays back against his side again* ... we can talk about it more after we get some rest, okay?

Altodd: ... Alright. Thank you. <:( *He lies his head down on the grass and closes his eyes, attempting to sleep*

Mia: *rests her head back against his side and closes her eyes, also trying to get some rest. hopefully she could fall asleep before the sun came up...*

Altodd: *Attempts to do the same, and manages to do so after some time passes*

Mia: *falls asleep as well, resting dreamlessly*

Altodd: *Wakes up around four in the afternoon* Mrgh... *lets out a big yawn*

Mia: *is woken up by his movement, and stretches groggily* Mmmmmmmnh.

Altodd: ... Morning. how'd you sleep?

Mia: Pretty decently. You make a nice pillow. <:P

Altodd: Well. Good to know that one ton of pure muscle is good for sleeping on. <:P

Altodd: *He involuntarily lets out a wolfish whine* ... And what if you can't? What if, somehow, you're overwhelmed and I can't save you? D:>

Spite: *Stalks them in the trees*

Mia: Altodd. I can spontaneously combust. I think i'll be fine. :/

Altodd: Mmmuhh... D:> *still doesn't like the idea of Mia tagging along*

Spite: *Suddenly leaps onto Altodd's back and pulls his head upwards so their faces meet* You have changed, Begetter. *Attempts o suck out his happiness*

Altodd: *Stumbles back a bit as he does this, caught off guard by the sudden attack* !!!!

Mia: !!! *quickly draws her sword and shoots a fireball at the Umbra* I thought we got rid of you! D:<

Spite: *Twists away from the fire and off of Altodd* I never die.

Altodd: *Shakes his head to get rid of the slight depression from Spite's attack*

Spite: I live on forever.

Mia: *keeps her sword out* Well, can you "live on forever" somewhere else? D;>

Spite: I must eat. No one else is around that I can feed on.

Altodd: *Backs away from Spite, closer to Mia, growling and baring his sharp, long teeth* Then STARVE, you parasite! D:<

Mia: *says nothing, as Altodd has basically stated her own thoughts for her* >:C

Spite: I take no orders from YOU, Begetter... I am not one of my mindless brothers.

Altodd: ... You've said that. >:(

Spite: I mean that. *He then attempts to attack Mia and Altodd again, slashing his claws in order to get them both*

Altodd: *takes Spite and chucks him away by his middle* Mia, get your sword ready! D8<

Mia: I've BEEN ready! D:<

Altodd: Readier!

Spite: *Leaps at Mia, claws out, screeching at her*

Mia: *stabs at him while he's in the air, aiming to try and impale him*

Spite: *Catches the blade between his hands, then pushes off of it, getting to a safe distance away from Mia* ... Ssss...

Altodd: ... Right. He's good at not getting stabbed. I guess we should... Go. <_____<;;;

Mia: *strafes back towards Altodd, keeping her eyes on Spite* Good idea. :I

Altodd: *Grabs Mia, throws her onto his back, and sprints*

Spite: D:< ... *watches them go*

Mia: !! *hangs on with one hand (as the other is busy holding her sword), only letting go and hoping off when she feels they are at a safe distance* ...Ugh. I thought we had gotten rid of him D;

Altodd: *Correcting her* It. That thing's an "it". And I guess not. Spite seems to find new ways to survive all the time. >:/

Mia: *sheathes her sword* Well... I guess we'll have to deal with it if it ever shows up again. :/ So... Where to?

Altodd: ... Not a city. I guess we just... Walk. <:/

Mia: *sighs a little* It's as good a plan as any. <:P Away we go, then. *starts off in a random direction*

Altodd: *Follows behind her, nuzzling her neck with his snout sadly, apologizing again, silently, for what has happened*

Mia: *reaches back to scratch behind his ear, accepting of her fate* It's okay...

Altodd: ... And yet it doesn't FEEL okay...

*They walk for a while, avoiding the cities. The sun starts to rise, and after being out for so long, Altodd grows tired and understands that Mia probably feels the same*

Altodd: ... I guess we should stop here.

Mia: *sighs gratefully* Good idea... 

Altodd: *Lies down. In truth, he feels better to not be traveling alone, but Mia was with him, not any other friend of his. This was different*

Mia: *sits down next to him, resting her back against his side with a sigh. it felt nice to be traveling again...she just wished the circumstances could be a little better...*

Altodd: ... I hope that Aroothian guy knows how to change me back...

Mia: I hope so too... 

Altodd: ... What if he can't?

Mia: Well... we keep going as we are, I guess. We'll figure something out, we always do.

Altodd: ... And what if the legends are true, and there is no cure for being a werewolf?

Mia: ...I don't know. Let's cross that bridge when we get there, okay? <:(

up

Altodd: This has been harder than I thought it would be. <:(

Mia: Goodbyes are always hard but... yeah, you're right. <:( Come on, let's get this done with. <:/

Altodd: *With a sigh, he knocks on the final door*

Iratus: *Opens it and the first one he notices is the covered-up thing that stood as tall as him* ...??

Mia: Iratus, can we come in? D:

Zorua: *peers at them between Iratus' legs* ??

Altodd: D: ... (Yes.) *He moves aside for Mia and her strange new friend*

Altodd: <:/ *Walks inside, careful not to accidentally bump into anything*

Zorua: !! *scampers between their feet to avoid being trampled, and turns into her human form once she's out of the way, pouting indignantly*

Mia: *shuts the door* Okay, we're good. <:/

Altodd: *Takes off his hood and scarf* ...

Iratus: ! (Altodd! That's you! You've changed!) D:

Altodd: Yeah, I kinda noticed that already. <:/

Mia: We don't know how he got stuck that way, but we're heading out to go try and fix it.

Zorua: ...So you're leaving. <:(

Mia: ...Yeah. It's probably going to be a long time before we can come back. <:/

Iratus: (No! You can't leave! Why do you have to leave??) D8>

Altodd: ... Everyone hates werewolves on this planet, Iratus.

Iratus: (but you can stay with us! Your guys can stay here!) D:>

Altodd: *Shakes his head* ... It's not that simple.

Mia: They'll find us eventually, Ira. <:( And even if they don't, well... staying cooped up in here wouldn't be any better, would it?

Zorua: You really don't know how to fix him? D:>

Mia: *shakes her head* If we did, well, we would've already done it. <:/

Iratus: (But... But I don't want you guys to go...!) D8>

Altodd: We'll come back, we promise! D:> This is only temporary, okay? <:(

Iratus: *Sniffles* (Yeah... Okay...)

Altodd: *Hugs Iratus and Zorua*

Iratus: *Hugs back, upset*

Mia: *joins in the hug* X(

Zorua: *hugs them surprisingly tightly* Promise you'll come back one day, okay?

Altodd: Again, we promise to come back -- We swear, Zorua. <:/

Iratus: *Sniffles and quietly lets go of them, moving away to give them room*

Zorua: *grudgingly pulls away, sniffling a little*

Mia: Take care of yourselves, okay? <:(

Iratus: *Is only able to nod a little*

Altodd: <:( ... Come on, let's... Let's go, Mia. *He walks out, sadness in his posture, letting his feet drag a little as he steps out*

Mia: *follows him out, giving the kids a tiny little wave as she does so* ...

Iratus: *Waves a little right back* <:(

*After they leave, they carefully leave the city with no one really noticing Altodd, as if he was just another massive Life City citizen. By the time the two of them are safely in the forest, Altodd is hiding tears*

Mia: *waits until she's sure they're alone before saying anything--but by the time they were out there, she didn't know what to say. they both knew they couldn't ever go back, not anytime soon. she touches Altodd's arm, taking a shaky breath to try and steady herself*

Altodd: *Quietly, tears glistening off his furry cheeks* ... You really don't have to come with, Mia... I'm the problem here, n-not you...

Mia: I'm not going to leave you, okay?

Altodd: ... But you'd be so much better off without me... F-find someone else, Mia... PLEASE... Forget me and go home. P-pretend I never existed. I know you're upset about leaving -- You don't have to do this for me. D:>

Mia: Yes, I do. It DOES hurt to leave, but it'd hurt more to watch you leave. You're not getting rid of me that easily. <:(

Altodd: This isn't ABOUT getting rid of you... This is about what's BEST for you. <:(

Mia: *a bit more forcefully* I'm staying with you, and that's that.

Altodd: *More forcefully* Mia, LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT WHAT I AM. I'm a MONSTER now -- You'll DIE because of me!

Mia: PLEASE elaborate on that, if you don't mind. How does ME staying with YOU equal MY DEATH?

Altodd: Because it takes ONE person finding out what I am now to bring an army of hunters tracking me down -- They'll kill you too! And even then, wherever I'm gonna go, it's gonna be DANGEROUS! The forest is certainly dangerous in some areas, who knows where ELSE might be dangerous??

Mia: Don't you think we've already been through "dangerous"?? Nothing Is going to be worse than Occulta, or Lucifer, or Kyria, or ANY of those psychos we dealt with! I can take care of myself, alright?!

up

Altodd: Werewolves aren't tolerated in this city. In any city. <:/

Sam: ... Does anyone else know about this?

Altodd: So far just Todd and Key, and you guys.

Mia: We're gonna go find everyone else, though. Might as well let them know before we vanish of the face of Concordia. >_>

Sarah: Okay. <:/

Altodd: *Quietly* ... Bye, guys. <:(

Sam: ... Bye, Altodd. Bye, Mia. <:(

Sarah: We'll miss you. <:(

Mia: We'll try to visit if we can. <:(

Sam: Please. <:(

Altodd: *Puts his disguise back on and leaves, saddened by his second goodbye for the night*

Mia: *leaves with him* Alright... so... Claire and Harry, or Iratus and Zorua? <:/

Altodd: ... Let's go to Iratus and Zorua last. They're young. Something tells me trying to leave will be harder.

Mia: Okay. Good idea. *heads towards Claire and Harry's house, and knocks on their door*

Harry: *He opens the door* ! D: ...

Altodd: *He sighs*

Mia: Can we come in? D:>

Claire: ! *can smell Altodd from inside the house--she wonders what's going on* :/

Harry: I-I, uh... I don't mind -- Uh, maybe Claire won't, uh, either? Who's your... Friend? D:

Altodd: ... Please just let us in, Harry.

Claire: *comes to the door, and notices Altodd's form* ! Let them in, Harry. D:

Mia: *gives Claire a grateful look*

Harry: :/ ... *He lets them in*

Altodd: ... I suppose that, like Sam, you know it's me, Claire. <:/

Claire: Mhmm. My question is, why?

Mia: *shuts the door behind them* We don't know. <:/

Altodd: We're hoping to find a white werewolf that Key and Neo met five yeas ago. He might know why. He might even know how to change me back. <:(

Harry: D:

Claire: ...So you're leaving.

Mia: Mhmm. Until we can turn him back. <:/

Claire: ...And what if it doesn't work?

Mia: ...Then I guess we'll be avoiding the cities until we figure something out.

Altodd: ... It HAS to work...! I can't be THIS for the rest of my life! I want to be HUMAN again! Not a MONSTER!

Harry: D:>

Claire: <:( ... I wish you luck, then. Hopefully we'll be seeing you again soon.

Mia: *nods* I hope so too. <:(

Altodd: ... That would be nice, wouldn't it?

Harry: ... We'll miss you two. <:/

Mia: We'll miss you guys too. <:(

Claire: Be careful, alright? If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to come to us.

Altodd: I think we'll be fine, but thanks for the offer. <:/

Harry: <:(

Altodd: *Quietly* ... Come on, Mia... *He then leaves*

Mia: <:( *walks out with Altodd* ...Two more to go. <:/

up

Altodd: <:) *He gently presses her head against him, his hand against it and combing his fingers through her hair*

Mia: *rests against him for a while, feeling comfortable there*

*Soon, night falls*

Altodd: ... We should go. No one will see us in this sort of darkness.

Mia: *nods and stands up, offering a hand to help him up* You should probably put your hood up, just in case...

Altodd: *He smiles a little at Mia's hand, but doesn't help himself up with it, afraid to pull her back down with his monstrous strength and weight. He pulls himself up* ... Right. I was going to anyway. *He pulls his hood up and covers his muzzle with his scarf, disguising his wolfish features*

Mia: *gives him a sad smile, then starts back towards the city, looking behind her and making sure he was following*

Altodd: *Trudges behind Mia with a steady pace. One step for him equals three steps for Mia. He's massive, and it's only now that Altodd is noticing that*

*In the city, people glance at Altodd but don't question his mass or attire. Big sentient creatures walk the streets of Life City all the time. Altodd walks with Mia to Key and Todd's home, located near the center of the city where festivals would take place annually*

Altodd: *Knocks on the door -- It comes out as a heavy pounding*

Key: *quickly answers the door, looking a bit startled by the loud noise. She doesn't recognize Altodd under his disguise, so her attention quickly switches over to Mia, shooting her a questioning look* ??

Mia: Can we come in, please? It's important. D:>

Key: Okay. D: *steps aside to let them both in*

Todd: *Spots the visitors when walking down the stairs* ... Mia? And... Uh..? D:/

Altodd: *Steps into the home, completely silent. He doesn't want to say anything until he's sure no one else will hear him* ...

Mia: Is there anyone else here?

Key: *shuts the door* No one but us. What's going on? D:/

Altodd: ... *He pulls down his hood and scarf*

Todd: *Lets out a loud yelp*

Altodd: *Puts a finger to his lips* Ssshh! No one can know about this! D:>

Todd: Wait -- Altodd -- You can talk?? D8

Key: !!

Mia: Yeah, uh, funny story, he transformed last night, and when the sun came up, he was stuck like that. D;

Todd: ... Has... Has this ever, uh... Happened before?

Altodd: ... No. Otherwise we wouldn't be here.

Todd: Why ARE you guys here?

Altodd: ... Mia and I are leaving the city.

Todd: What?? D:>

Mia: He'll get driven out or killed if he stays...

Key: Ah. D:>

Altodd: ... I'm, uh... I'm gonna miss you guys...

Todd: ... Wait, wait, wait -- You guys are going away FOREVER, and we can't you ever again? D:>

Altodd: Well, we're probably just gonna travel around... I guess if we're in the area you guys can... Come out? <:(

Todd: I-I GUESS... Man, this is so WEIRD, though. You're YOU... But you're NOT. D:>

Altodd: Well, now there'll be only one of us. It'll be less confusing that way.

Todd: <:( ...

Mia: <:(

Key: ...Well, we're sad to see you go. <:( *holds her arms open of a hug*

Mia: *hugs her*

Todd: *Joins in the hug* <:(

Altodd: ... *He hugs them all with his long arms*

Key: We're gonna miss you guys... <:(

Mia: We will too. We'll try and sneak a visit if we ever can, okay? <:(

Altodd: *Sadly* ... That'll probably be once in a blue moon, though.

Todd: *With a somewhat forced grin* ... "Once in a blue moon" ... I see what you did there. <:P

Altodd: ... I didn't do that on purpose. XC

Todd: You and Mia go say goodbye to the others, you big damn furball.

Mia: *gives them a sad smile* 'Til next time, I guess. <:P *heads out*

Key: <:(

Todd: *Gives them a tiny wave* <:(

Altodd: *Waves back, then puts on his scarf and hood and heads out after Mia* ... So Sarah and Sam next?

Mia: Yep. They're right down the street this way I think...

*they go*

Mia: *knocks on the door*

Sam: *Is the first to answer it and is taken aback by Altodd's wolfish odor* A-Altodd?? Is that you?? DDD8

Altodd: SSSSSHHH! Just let us in! D:

Sam: *Glances nervously at Mia, then lets them both in*

Mia: *follows them in and quickly shuts the door* Is Sarah here?

Sarah: *comes into the entrance hall* Yeah I'm here, what's--*notices Altodd* ...What's going on? D:

Sam: *shrugs* D8

Altodd: *takes off his scarf and hood again* ... I'm not human anymore. I need to leave Life City forever. Mia's offered to come with me. <:/

Sarah: Wait, but--HOW? D:

Mia: We don't know! It kind of just... happened. <:I

Sarah: Oh. Well... we're sad to see you go. <:( You're sure you can't stay?

up

Altodd: *He quickly, carefully puts his clothes on and hides his face with the scarf* Wh-why did this even HAPPEN...?

Mia: ...I don't know... But we're going to find out, alright? I um... I doubt you're the first one this has happened to... <:(

Altodd: D:>

Neo: Wait! Wait wait, there was a white werewolf that Key and I met five years ago! His name was Aroothian -- He SAID something like this would happen!

Mia: !! Really?? Did he say anything about undoing it? D:>

Neo: ... No... He never mentioned undoing it.

Altodd: Then it seems like we need to find him.

Mia: But where could he possibly be...? D:>

Neo: When Key and I arrived here, he was in this forest.

Altodd: Then... Then he might be around HERE somewhere... But the forest is MASSIVE...

Mia: Well, we might as well start looking... though we should probably go back and pick up supplies before we go. <:/

Altodd: ... R-Right. Should we tell the others about this?

Mia: ...Maybe, yeah... At least it'd keep them from wondering where we went...

Altodd: Alright... Gotta be careful, though. Everyone hates and fears werewolves. One misstep and I'll be full of silver bullets.

Mia: We can go at night, then. The streets are practically empty then. <:/

Altodd: ... Alright... And the shadows will cover me better.

Mia: Mhmm. So um... What do we do now? We have all day to wait. <:/

Altodd: ... Yeah, well... I don't know. This is all a lot to take in. <:(

Mia: Agreed... Take your time, okay? <:/

Altodd: *Unhappily sighs* ... Yeah... Okay... *He sits down and takes the clothing off to study his features. He's never been conscious in his wolf form before*

Mia: *lays down in the grass and waits. she's seen him in his wolf form often enough to be used to it by now, but hearing him speak and act normally was something to get used to...*

Altodd: *The longer he looks at himself, the more upset he gets about his appearance. Altodd lets out another shaky sigh, trying to calm himself down and unable to*

Mia: *hears this and sits up, frowning. she scoots over to sit next to him, and puts an arm around him, rubbing up and down his back* <:(

Altodd: *He leans against Mia, careful not to knock her over* ...

Mia: *nuzzles into his neck, quietly humming a nameless tune to try and pass the time*

Altodd: *Lightly kisses her as best as he can*

Mia: *kisses his cheek in return, nuzzling him affectionately* ...I promise I won't leave, okay?

Altodd: ... How long are you willing to keep that promise before... Things get difficult?

Mia: ...What do you mean? <:/

Altodd: ... Who knows how long I'll stay like this? People will see me and try KILLING me. Not in the city, maybe, but even then, it would be so easy to give myself away THERE too... And who knows. Maybe I'll become a mindless animal again. Maybe forever. Do you want... Want to live with THAT?

Mia: ... *just nods silently* I'll stay with you as long as I can.

Altodd: *He sighs for a third time* ... And how long will that be?

Mia: *smiles a bit* How about we wait and find out?

Altodd: ... *Quietly* ... Okay... <:)

Mia: *her smiles widens a bit, and she leans against him again, burying her face in his fur*

up

Altodd: *He just lies there, his head in her lap, relaxed*

*Then the sun starts to rise*

Altodd: *He's not changing back*

Mia: *notices this, and wonders why...? She glanced back down at Altodd, and shakes him lightly* Altodd... Altodd, the sun's coming up...

Altodd: *He groggily wakes up, still a werewolf* Mnff...? Whassit...?

Mia: *visibly worried, she repeats herself* Altodd, the sun's coming up... You're still a werewolf...!

Altodd: Whah... What do you mean? What are you talking about, Mia? D;>

Mia: *now slightly panicked* LOOK AT YOURSELF...! D8>

Altodd: What? D: *He gets off her and looks at his hands* !!! N-No...! NO, NO, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HUMAN! DD8> *there is a sudden rage in his expression. He feels betrayed. True, the betrayal came from a curse, but it was still frustrating and horrible* I'M SUPPOSED TO BE HUMAN!! DDDD8< *He tears a tree down in his anger, roaring*

Mia: D8!! *stays well away from him, knowing that there really isn't much that can stop him at this point--all she could really do now was to wait for him to calm down*

Altodd: *He rips out a few tufts of his fur and throws it to the ground before falling onto his knees and elbows, bearing his head in his hands, his moans of pain quickly turning to tears of frustration*

Mia: ... *slowly approaches him, not sure of his fit of rage was over and done with... she tentatively places a hand on his shoulder*

Altodd: *Immediately moves away from her* No, no no... Don't touch me... Please... I'm not -- I'm not me anymore... I'm just - just a monster... D8>

Mia: *steps closer again* Don't say that...! It's still you in there... <:(

Altodd: I-I just -- I can't - I can't go back to Life City. I-I can't LIVE THERE anymore...! We can't be together anymore -- I'll need to stay here in the forest...!

Mia: *kneels next to him, again putting her hand on his shoulder* I'm not leaving you just like that, Altodd... We'll... We'll figure something out, alright?

Altodd: *Whimpering* ... O-okay... M-maybe I can sneak into the city... W-with the clothes we brought here...

Mia: Yeah, they should be big enough... *stands up, and picks the clothes up from where she set them down, returning and offering them to him*

up

Altodd: ! *He follows her in, splashing up water everywhere*

Mia: !! *is soaked, but she doesn't really mind. at least Altodd was getting clean. she splashes more water up at him, grinning*

Altodd: *Shakes the water off in order to get himself dry again*

Mia: *is again splashed with water. she huffs, and steps back out of the stream, sitting down on the grass to dry*

Altodd: *He then immediately follows Mia out, determined to constantly be by her side*

Mia: ! :) *pats the grass next to her, encouraging him to sit down*

Altodd: *He walks up next to Mia and flops down onto his side, grinning at her*

Mia: *grins back, and leans over to rub his belly* X)

Altodd: *Kicks his leg when she does this, happy*

Mia: *scoots closer and rubs his belly with both hands*

Altodd: *He licks one of Mia's arms as she pets him, tail stub wagging*

Mia: *smiles at him, and leans up to scratch behind his ear*

Altodd: *Leans his head closer to Mia, appreciating her touch. Then he rolls over and places his head on her lap*

Mia: *runs her fingers through his fur, enjoying his presence*

Altodd: *He closes his eyes, relaxed and happy to be there*

Mia: *leans down and kisses the top of his head, fingers still working through his fur* <3

up

Altodd: *Reaching out with his arm, he pulls Mia down next to him and licks her face*

Mia: *laughs a bit at this, and nuzzles his snout, still petting him* <3

Altodd: *He ends up licking Mia again*

Mia: *continues to pet him, nuzzling his cheek. she'd gotten used to his wolf form over the years, and though the transformations were always painful, everything just felt a lot easier afterwards...*

Altodd: *He suddenly lifts his head up when he spots a deer scamper across the forest* !

Mia: ! *pulls away a bit, just in case he decided to suddenly chase after it. she keeps her hand on his side, though* ...

Altodd: *He creeps over to get a better look at wherever the deer went, careful not to make a noise. Hunting*

Mia: *sits quietly, watching him, interested* ...

Altodd: *When he spots the deer, he silently stalks it, moving inches and inches closer every second*

Mia: *watches, and waits, quite confident that he'll be able to catch it--she's seen him do it before*

Altodd: *When he's sure the deer has completely let down its guard, he sprints at it, talking it down with the force of his body and clamping his jaws around its neck and snapping it in two*

Mia: ! ... *waits to see if he'll drag it back or eat it on his own* ...

Altodd: *He picks up the deer with his teeth and takes it back to Mia, setting it down, then tearing it up and eating it's insides*

Mia: <:P *had expected as much. she looks away, the sight still making her a bit queasy*

Altodd: *He eats the deer until he's done with it, throwing the carcass aside violently. His muzzle and claws are now covered in blood*

Mia: :/ *remembers seeing a stream around here... she figures she may as well try to get him clean before all that blood dries. she rubs his neck for a moment, then stands up, taking a few steps forward and trying to wave him over* Come on, we're gonna go get a drink. <:P

Altodd: Rrmm... *He follows Mia as she walks*

Mia: *walks Altodd down to the stream, and sits down at the edge*

Altodd: *He walks over to the water and starts drinking from it, which washes off some of the blood on his muzzle*

Mia: *takes off her boots, and wades into the semi-shallow stream. she splashes a bit of water in his direction, trying to encourage him to wade in a little deeper*

up

Altodd: I bet we do -- I mean, I'm already naked. That's half the effort already done.

Mia: Mmmlet's make it a quick one, then. *grins, then swiftly kisses him, already working on undoing her pants*

Altodd: *As soon as her pants and underwear are off, he practically pounces on her, kissing her neck as he enters her*

Mia: *moans loudly, shamelessly, as no one was around to hear them. her nails scratch at his back and shoulders as he pleasures her*

Altodd: *Thrusts in and out of her, the noises he makes from it being far less like a human and more like a savage beast*

Mia: *thoroughly enjoys this, gripping him tightly, groaning against his shoulder*

Altodd: *He then releases into her, letting out a snarl, though not of anger, but pleasure*

Mia: *her groan mirrors his snarl, loud and unrestricted. she relaxes underneath him as the wave of pleasure passes, letting out a long sigh*

Altodd: *He rests his head on Mia's shoulder, panting from the effort. Altodd is not allowed to relax, however. The moon, the now-rising moon, lets out its harsh call, and Altodd is soon holding onto Mia for support as he yells, whimpers and cries out in his pain*

Mia: !! *quickly yanks her pants back up, then gives Altodd all her attention, her hands on either side of his face, trying to soothe him as he transforms*

Altodd: *He keeps transforming, though the time needed to do so is shorter than usual, since he already turned a little bit before. Still, until he stops, he writhes and tearfully begs for an end to his misery. Then he howls at the rising moon. He howls, his mind now the mind of a beast*

Mia: *has seen him transform enough times to be used to it--but she still felt a twinge of fear every time. she sits quietly in his shadow, waiting for him to notice her* ...

Altodd: *Once he's done, he looks down and growls at Mia, his thoughts and memories still catching up with his new body*

Mia: *sits quietly, as is her routine, doing her best not to show fear until he recognizes her* ...

Altodd: *He sniffs her a few times, then snorts, satisfied. Altodd lies down beside Mia with a large thump*

Mia: *relaxes, letting out a little sigh. she proceeds to pet him, combing her fingers through his fur*

Altodd: *Enjoys this, fully resting his head down on the grass and letting out a soft, happy growling*

Mia: <:) *rests on top of him, petting him with both hands, nuzzling into his fur*
