A Small War

"...might be your type," she teases.

"Assuming she doesn't, like, friggin' disembowel me or somethin' for tryin'," he responded. He wasn't going to say he figured he was too ugly for anyone anyway.

"I mean, maybe I'm wrong," she says, setting her drumsticks between her fingers as if they were claws.

Then, she shifts into another form.

"She's a bit short," she quips in Laura's voice.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 9:10 pm

Small yes, but fierce. A fitting mate.

If Sam could see his blush, he thought he'd just up and die right there.

He groaned. "You're tryin' to get me killed aren't you?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 9:12 pm

"I'm letting you get it out of your system," she laughs as she shifts back into herself.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 9:27 pm

"Yeah, thanks. Do not want to get caught staring at that little bit of scary hotness."

"What is she, like, three feet tall?" he asked, forgetting to account for his dramatic increase in size.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 9:29 pm

"More like five. You're a growing boy."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 10:54 pm

"Damn. I keep forgetting I'm bigger. This new body thing is really throwing me," he said, sighing.

by **Samantha McManus** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 11:14 pm

"It's alright. I don't think she's much into dancing."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Wed Jan 29, 2020 11:24 pm

"She's outta my league anyway, even if she weren't school staff."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 12:14 am

"I'm not saying you should bring her flowers, but you might be surprised what your league is."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 1:06 am

"You're not just screwin' with me are you? I mean, look at me. I look like a friggin' furry."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 2:13 am

"You're at a place where the standard for attraction doesn't start and end at 'human.'"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 3:24 pm

He looked at her dubiously, arms crossed. "And you think this Ms. Kinney would be attracted... to me?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 3:26 pm

"Not her specifically, just you're not off the list, aye?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 3:30 pm

Before he could stop himself, he asked, "Do you find me attractive?" Then he visibly winced.

Idiot! She's gay!

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 3:51 pm

"Well you're... not really my type?" She says carefully.

"But that's got nothing to do with this," she gestures with a drumstick to the fur and horns.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 3:58 pm

"Yeah, sorry. I realized that the second I asked."

"So..." he said, pausing to think of something to say to dispel the awkwardness, "Any idea who might be?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 5:26 pm

"What, you want me to set you up with someone?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:43 pm

"Of course not. Just an idea who to... nevermind. I don't even know if I'm ready for that yet."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:46 pm

"You're a university lad. Of course that's on your mind," she smirks.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 7:49 pm

"Honestly, I haven't even thought about finding someone since my old life fell apart. Too much else to worry about."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 8:00 pm

"And now there's suddenly a possibility and it's hard not to think about it."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 8:05 pm

"Exactly. Even if I don't feel very lovable right now."

"I didn't even know how lonely I was until I got here..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 8:44 pm

"Maybe take some solace that if a girl wants some of that, you're harder to miss now?" She teases.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Thu Jan 30, 2020 9:09 pm

"Just have to hope I'm not just someone's DeviantArt fetish," he half-joked.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 5:37 pm

"Even if you are, what's wrong with that?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:44 pm

"Nothing if it's a casual hookup. But I need more than that from an actual girlfriend."

"But... maybe beggars can't be choosers."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:49 pm

"I'm just saying, sometimes it's nice to be reminded you're attractive."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:56 pm

"That would be nice, yeah."

"Enough about me for now. Are you still having no effects from the doc's serum?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 8:05 pm

"I mean look at me, I'm fine aren't I?"

A lock of her hair shifts to reveal a slightly pointed ear.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 8:11 pm

"That depends. Are your ears pointy on purpose?" he asked, sniffing at a faint scent he hadn't noticed before, "And you smell kinda like your girlfriend."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 8:54 pm

"You know sniffing someone you're not in intimate terms with is a bit rude," she says with a curled lip.

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:00 pm

He put his hands up in a placating gesture.

"Relax. It's just in the air. Been smellin' it the whole time, just hadn't thought about it 'til now."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:14 pm

"Look, I'm just... going through some stuff. I've got a bond with my girlfriend and sometimes it gets weird."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:22 pm

"And you're sure the beast virus has absolutely nothing to do with it?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 9:24 pm

"Wouldn't it have gotten me by now?"

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 10:56 pm

"Yeah. I guess you're right," he agreed.

He walked over and studied the drums. "So... ya just bang around for fun or is there a band you're in?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:07 pm

"Been trying to put together a band with my girlfriends. Tereza plays guitar."

"We'd have Viv sing, but she's away right now."

by **Leo Eskandari** » Fri Jan 31, 2020 11:53 pm

"Wait... there's a second one? You're a lucky one."

Hot.
Agreed.
