You change and I pray to remain

sorry about the wait.

For the past several days since becoming aware of his new ability, Oak had been fiddling with it sporadically - but always when he was alone. Taking to his Optime form was something he wanted to master fully before letting others see. The day before, he had achieved the shift and walked shakily on two legs, but it felt so uncomfortable that he returned to his canid form in a matter of moments. Sometimes he wondered what real use their was in standing like a human, when he could run so freely and naturally on four legs. Even opposible thumbs seemed overrated to him.

He had spent an hour playing with mice, chasing a number of the poor little creatures into their holes, but never actually killing any. He hadn't the heart to take the life of such an innocent thing. When he was done with his games, the rust-furred boy crossed the field. He spied two figures in the gardens, standing close. Recognizing his brother and mother in the midst of an embrace, he paused, uncertain. To his surprise, it was not Alder who held Anu, but Cypress. Oak wished that he could turn and go without being seen, afraid of ruining their special moment. But he had come too close, and there was no way that they had not detected his presence. Guilt weighed heavily on him as he approached the gardens, moving slowly and deliberately in hopes of prolonging their time together. All too soon, his paws hit the hard, cold dirt of the garden, and it was then that he spoke softly to them. Cypress, Momma.
