[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!]

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...]

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

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.

Then I shall wait here until it returns to me.

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...]

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

[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?

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.

[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.

[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.

Thanks are unnecessary....

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

He wanted to get Xzana home.]

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

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

It will keep this body from hurting? Alright.

[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.

[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.]

[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?

Strange. You humans put covers on your claws. Makes them dull. [Maybe if she chews on the end a bit.]

You are temporarily human... you do not have claws, you have nails. They are not meant to be used for harming others or hunting.

It is important to keep your extremities warm.

May we attempt once more to take you home Miss Xzana?

The outside will not hurt with these items on?

You may still feel 'cold'... but it will be tolerable. [Spock holds out a gloved hand....]

Please, come with me.

[She looks at the hand and gives it a sniff. Not sure what he wants for her before heading for the door.]

[Spock quirks an eyebrow... but then follows Xzana closely, opening the door for her when she approaches it.]

You will only experience a small amount of cold... nothing like as it was before.

[She ducks her head closer to her body as if she's expecting to be attacked as she walks out.

It was cold, but he was right. Not as bad as the first time. She's slow at first, taking ever step with caution and trying to look at everything at once.

She's quiet. Too busy taking everything in to address Spock for now.]

[Spock places a hand on the small of her back to urge her onward.]

Are you warm enough Miss Xzana?
