Re: A Small War
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2020 7:38 pm"It is... nice... that nobody here bats an eye at how I look. I didn't expect that."

Re: A Small War
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2020 8:20 pm"Even if you find a way to be your old self again, you might find you want to be this sometimes, too."

Re: A Small War
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2020 9:01 pm"Maybe not a shifter, but I know Doctor McCoy has some sort of wrist-watch thing when he wants to go incognito."
Re: A Small War
Posted: Tue Feb 04, 2020 9:06 pm"Why doesn't it surprise me that that's a thing? With something like that I could at least go into town without imaginin' everybody starin' at me," he said with a small, relieved smile.
