Oh, people still yell at me. She tilts her head, putting Kat's hand right behind her ears.

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 1:58 am**

"What kind of dog are you anyway? You're so bloody huge," she says as she starts dutifully delivering ear scritches.

"Like you're not a sled dog so much as the whole team."

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 2:14 am**

More wolf than dog. She regrets not being able to talk, but Kat seems to actually be okay with her in this form and that's keeping her still.

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 3:55 am**

"Pretty quiet when you're like this, aye?"

"Maybe that's why Sam likes you. She never knows when to shut up."

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 3:58 am**

Tereza snorts, thumping the floor once with her tail. That's because she's constantly worried about what others think, so she wears her heart on her words.

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 4:21 am**

"Alright," Sam says as she finally comes back into the room. "I think they understand, no- are you petting my girlfriend?"

"Why not?" Kat smirks. "She likes it."

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 4:27 am**

It's alright, Sam. Tereza's ears perk in Sam's direction, but she's careful not to do anything to spook Kat.

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 4:33 am**

"You know she's not really an animal, aye? She's still a person."

"Maybe you just don't know how to treat doggos right, Sam."

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 4:39 am**

Tereza raises her head slowly, tail dead still. Sam... Sam... argument bad.

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 4:46 am**

Sam sighs, sitting down next to the both of them.

"Okay, okay. Nobody wants to fight on Christmas."

"You could've told me, you know. I've been asking Mum and Dad for a puppy for years."

"...don't push it, Kat."

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 4:51 am**

If she puts a bow on me, I will be displeased. She looks at Kat and makes a sound that sounds suspiciously like 'wolf', but could just be 'dog noises.'

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 2:12 pm**

"She says no bows," Sam chuckles.

"What, do you speak dog now, Sam?"

"How did you put it? 'Brain stuff' has to have some advantages."

Posted: **Sat Dec 16, 2017 3:46 pm**

One of those advantages is that I can talk when I can't talk. Tell her the 'no trousers' perk isn't always all it's cracked up to be.

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 8:01 pm**

"...you were talking to her about not wearing trousers, weren't you?"

"No! Er... yes. Maybe. Shut up," Kat flushes.

"Well word to the wise, she says it's not quite as nice as you think."

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 8:35 pm**

Tell her I'm sorry for spilling that, but at least she knows you're actually talking to me now.

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 8:42 pm**

"She's not calling you out, you know."

"Well I just think it would be kind of... relaxing, you know? Nobody was yelling at her right now."

"Nobody was really yelling," Sam frowns.

"Still, you know what I mean. It's been on my mind. You know, if I'm like you."

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:01 pm**

Being like us is pretty great.

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:06 pm**

"She'd probably tell you she's pretty gung-ho on being different, even though she winds up a wolf sometimes."

"And what about you? It seemed so awful for you when it happened."

"Aye, but things do get better. I mean, puberty's pretty awful for normal girls, too."

"Yeah, so if I'm going to have to go through that anyway, I might as well turn into something really gnarly."

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:14 pm**

As long as you do you, that's the important bit.

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 9:36 pm**

"She's saying that as long as it works for you, that's the only person you have to please. I pretty much agree, now that I've got more of a handle on things."

"So as long as I'm rocking it, frig everyone else?"

"I wouldn't say that in front of Mum, but..."

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 11:23 pm**

Yeah, let's do our best not to scandalize your mum's ears.

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 11:29 pm**

"Tereza's on Mum's side in this," Sam chuckles.

"Well, Mum has been feeding her an awful lot..."

Posted: **Mon Dec 18, 2017 11:49 pm**

She's your mum and she's a good one. Her cooking is good though, so I may be biased.

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 12:08 am**

"I think you've hit on the real reason, Kat." Sam chuckles and thumps Tereza's side.

"So what are we going to do if she's stuck?"

"I think Mum's going to... er... set up a bowl," Sam winces.

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 12:42 am**

As long as I still get pancakes, I can manage.

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 1:07 am**

"Okay, this is way better than a dog. Mum would never let me feed a dog people food."

"I guess everyone's happy, then." Sam chuckles, relaxing a bit more.

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 1:13 am**

I suppose we should go let your parents see, huh?

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 1:13 am**

"As long as you don't feel like you're going to suddenly shift back?"

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 3:41 am**

Not at the moment, no.

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 8:50 pm**

"Alright then," Sam says, standing up. "Can't sit on Kat's lap forever."

"Well, maybe when we get downstairs."

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 8:55 pm**

We'll have to see. Tereza stands, obviously not having much of a problem being on four legs as she noses the almost closed door open and glances at Sam for her to lead the way.

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 11:14 pm**

Sam makes her way down the stairs, the smells of butter, pancakes, and bacon wafting up. As she turns the corner towards the dining room her mother is there. Her eyes widen for a moment, then soften.

"Oh, you didn't tell me how pretty she was. Big, but pretty."

Posted: **Tue Dec 19, 2017 11:29 pm**

The soft tone seems to give Tereza some courage and she moves carefully over to Sam's mum, trying not to accidentally flick things with her tail.

Posted: **Fri Dec 22, 2017 10:13 pm**

"She still wants pancakes," Sam chuckles as Tereza walks over.

"Does she now? Good thing I made plenty of batter. Of course, I've also got bacon and sausages to feed a battalion," she says with a twinkle in her eyes.

Posted: **Fri Dec 22, 2017 11:35 pm**

That makes Tereza grin, which probably looks weird, but the idea of lots of bacon and sausage obviously tickles her wolf brain.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 8:01 pm**

"If you keep that up, Mum, I don't think I'll be able to convince her to come back to campus."

"Told you I was getting a puppy for Christmas," Kat says, sticking her tongue out.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 9:56 pm**

Tereza makes a snorting noise at that comment and tries to find a place to sit out of the way. I guess we were worried over nothing?

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 10:00 pm**

"It took a bit of talking. That's my fault not yours, because they remembered what happened when my shifting came out."

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 11:21 pm**

At least it's four-legged and not the ravening hell beast. That would have been harder to handle.

Posted: **Tue Dec 26, 2017 11:23 pm**

"I just might have to lend you some fingers when it comes time to unwrap your present."
