[Action]

[elongatedsmile]

[Those who know Xzana may be glad that she finally has a brand new white sun dress on after her visit with the Malnosso. Only the half breed isn't exactly a half breed anymore. Her scales, claws, fangs, and large set of white wings are now gone. So is her ability to not feel cold anymore as she awakes shivering near the fountain.

She's never experienced anything so awful before. The snow touching her feet actually hurt it was so cold. Wait, those aren't her feet those look like a human's feet! She opens her mouth to let out a startled roar.]

SHRIIIIIIEEEEK!

[Ah! That wasn't a roar at all! That wasn't even close! What had those people done to her!? Her teeth start to clatter and nothing she can do will stop it. She has no clue how to be human and takes off running for the first building she sees a human enter which happens to be Good Spirits.

It's a little better. The floor isn't as cold as the snow but she can't stop this annoying shaking and what are all these little bumps on her skin? Not knowing that rubbing could warm her a bit she stands shivering in a quiet corner. Staring in a bit of fear any anyone who comes in. How was she suppose to protect herself now?

She's also staring out the window. She knows eventually she's going to have to go out there again even if it's just to go to the bathroom. How could the outside be so uninviting? She never pictured that it would be so terrible before, but it was so cold and the cold was painful.]

Th-they s-s-shall pay for t-t-this.

[Anyone dare approach the skiddish newly made human cowering in the corner of the bar? If not she'll huddle there until she's forced out of the bar. And don't worry about time breaking! SHOW THAT TIME WHO'S BOSS!]

Comments

[spohkh]

Please see reason Miss Xzana... The Malnosso appear to have turned you human for the time being. You must take appropriate measures in order to keep your health.

[Spock was getting concerned, they had obviously drawn the attention of everyone in the bar, but most were rather apprehensive in approaching the raging female...

Spock took a gentle step forward.] Allow me to take you home where you can be safe Miss Xzana.

[elongatedsmile]

I will not go outside! [With a growl that sounds no where near intimidating without her normal vocal cords she raises her lips in a snarl to show the fangs that she forgot she no longer has. She doesn't care if she's making a scene. She's never been afraid of a group of humans in her life!

That last part may be a lie, but she puffs her chest out as if they she never has been.]

[spohkh]

[Spock puts the coat down on a nearby chair, and lifts his hands in the universal gesture of surrender.]

Please, calm yourself... I will not force you to go anywhere.. [Spock decided to change tactic...]

Will you perhaps join me by the fire? [Spock gestured towards the fireplace located at the back of the establishment.... it was a fairly secluded spot, and no one was currently occupying its chairs.]

[elongatedsmile]

[She stands stiffly for a moment, ready to defend herself is she must as she looks over the fire. It's farther from the door and her means of escape, not that she really wants to go out anyway, but it's also further away from people. She can have more reaction time should they try to come towards her.]

Alright. The fire.

[She moves towards the fire, but is careful to not turn her back on either Spock or most of the people in the bar as best she can.]

[spohkh]

[Spock remains calm and collected as he takes a seat next to the fireplace, and gestures to the seat in front of him...]

Please, sit and warm yourself.

Do you remember what the Malnosso did to you?

[elongatedsmile]

I do not know. I was in deep sleep then I woke here.

[spohkh]

[Spock leaned forward to create a more calm atmosphere..]

You are experiencing a shift caused by the Malnosso... the one's that kidnapped you. You appear to have been made human... you will return to your normal self sometime soon.

Until that time, however, you will need to make the appropriate measures. For example, wearing the proper clothing and adjusting certain things that humans must do in this type of weather.

Do you understand?

[elongatedsmile]

No! This is impossible! I was hatched as I was. That cannot be changed! It's - impossible! There is no magic that advance!

[And yet, here she is. With these strange claw- no, toes and fingers looking back at her.]

I do not know how to be a human. I do not want to be human.

[spohkh]

Magic or not, you are human for now. If you are amenable, I can help you. [Spock was concerned, after all, about Xzana's well-being...]

[elongatedsmile]

I am amenable too? What is that? Is that why this body is broken? [Just what else is wrong with her?!]

[spohkh]

Forgive me... amenable simply means 'open to a suggestion'... Stated differently, if you 'want' me to, I can help you. There appears to be nothing 'wrong' with you, you are a perfectly healthy human.

However, your original form will return with time.

[elongatedsmile]

Then I shall wait here until it returns to me.

[spohkh]

Unless you live here... that may be an illogical idea.

The shift may not wear off for at least two weeks... if not longer. [The time was always unpredictable...]

[elongatedsmile]

Two weeks... how many moons is that? Or is it many seasons?

[spohkh]

[Spock tilts his head....] Half of a full cycle... however, that is only a guess. You could be human for longer than that.

Are your feet not cold Miss Xzana?

[elongatedsmile]

Moon cycle? That is not very long. [For a dragon that lives for centuries it's not. For a human body that requires a lot more care she's going to find out fast that it is.]

I do not know. They do not feel right. I think it is cold. I do not like it.

[spohkh]

[Spock nods and stands.... he makes his way to the bar where he asks one of the employees for something...

When he returns it is with slippers in hand... He gives them to Xzana.]

Please, put these on your feet.

[elongatedsmile]

[She turns the over for a moment in her hand before putting them on. She's seen things like it before and it takes her just a few moments to remember how humans wear them.

Well, that does feel better. She spends a few minutes giving her new toes a wiggle in her new slippers before finally looking at Spock once more.] Thank you.

[spohkh]

Thanks are unnecessary....

Would you be amenable to more clothing at this time? [Spock was being patient...

He wanted to get Xzana home.]

[elongatedsmile]

Amenable...? I am not good at putting clothes together. [He did mean to make more clothes? Maybe?]

[spohkh]

I can get you more clothing if you wish. [Spock had to once again remind himself to speak simply.]

[elongatedsmile]

It will keep this body from hurting? Alright.

[spohkh]

[Spock nodded and once more left...

...only to return moments later with a long wool coat, gloves, and a hat with ear flaps.

He held out the coat.]

Please stand and put your back towards me.

[elongatedsmile]

[Ah, the coat she's learning to understand. Standing up she presents her back, but keeps her head turned and eyes on Spock the whole time. She even raises her arms, ready to slide them into the sleeves.]

[spohkh]

[Spock, with an amused expression, gently approaches her and lowers her arms with a small touch.... he then slips the coat onto her lowered hands, and settles it on her back.

He then puts the gloves onto her hands... and the hat on her head...]

How does that feel?
