we were a beautiful letdown -- open; new body

[wormwood.]

[glow=#000,1,400]MY MAMA SAID THAT I'M NOT LIVING RIGHT. YOU RAISED A LION, MAMA, I AIN'T LYING, MAMA — ｡+ﾟ.[/glow]

Wormwood was pretty pleased with his current form as of late. He had always enjoyed being a lion, and had known nothing else but being a lion, but he certainly had changed since he had first arrived. The wings that had eventually ended up growing from his back had definitely changed his stature quite a bit, and that had honestly been as much change as he really needed, or wanted. In fact, he hadn't really been happy about the change that his wings represented when they had first grown, but now they had proven to be valuable assets to him, allowing him to fly in the air and swoop down upon others in battle, and also upon prey that was out in the wild. Needless to say, however, in relation to what Moth had been desiring, Worm had no big plans to change his entire form anytime soon, nor did he really have the ability to do so, as far as he knew. Although, he was pretty sure that Moth hadn't known that she had the ability to do so either, from the confused look that he saw on her face when she emerged from the library. Of course, at first he didn't even realize who she was. He had just figured that she was a new member of the group, one that he had somehow managed to miss, despite often being around for almost every joining thus far.

However, when she plopped down and spoke, his ears perked up in surprise, the tone and slight lilt of her voice striking him as familiar. He looked towards the newly golden large feline for a long moment, the gears in his head seeming to be slowly spinning, before realization hit him. Letting out a soft gasp, he quickly moved over to her and said in a slightly stunned tone, his blue eyes quite wide and surprised, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Moth? Is that you? It sounds like you... but you look so different, and so much bigger! I guess you have that power that let's you shapeshift, huh?"[/glow] He probably would've been quite glad to get that power just in case – despite the fact he didn't really want a different form – but it seemed as though Moth wasn't as enthused as he probably would've been if he had discovered that he could turn into anything he wanted. He then rumbled as he flicked an ear, his eyes going down to the delicate ruffle of feathers that was surrounding Moth's neck, [glow=#165042,1,400]"Not only that, but it looks like you're some kind of mutated big thing... jaguar, if I'm remembering correctly. I guess that means we get to be mutated large cat buddies, huh? Maybe I could help you figure out flying. It can be a but painful though..."[/glow] He didn't usually sound so excited or surprised by new developments that happened in Tanglewood right now, but this being something not overwhelmingly negative actually made him more excited about it.
