Only Fuzzy Sometimes?

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 8:26 am

Nate was spending his early morning meditating in the Quad, or maybe he was just sitting quietly, it was hard to tell. He was in his massive half-wolf form though. He'd been getting stuck in it more and more lately, so this wasn't exactly unusual.

Samantha was a bit distracted that day, and thus though she probably could have spotted him from a distance, he came as somewhat of a surprise to her as she crossed the quad.

"...oh! Ah... hello, there."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 12:58 pm

Nate turned his head to look at her, reflexively sniff-snuffling in the process. "Hi," he said, smiling, which looked vaguely threatening in the bargain.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 12:59 pm

"Sorry, didn't... didn't mean to disturb you there."

"I think I've seen you before. You always hang out with Mister Logan, aye?"

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:38 pm

"Yup, that'd be me," Nate said, "My name's Nate. Nate Davis. And you didn't disturb me. It's just easier to be outside sometimes."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:39 pm

"I'm Samantha. I guess I could see how the grounds out here might suit you."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:53 pm

Nate nodded, "Oddly enough, there's less 'noise' out here. There's always so much going on in the dorms that it messes with my ears sometimes."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 1:53 pm

"I get that. Maybe in a different way than you do, but I get it."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:10 pm

Nate sniffed at the air. "I like this time of year. Last smells of the summer, first smells of the fall."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:22 pm

"Aye. It gets really pretty here in the fall. This your first semester here?"

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:44 pm

"First semester in the general student population. I've been here for a year," Nate said.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:56 pm

"Oh? I haven't seen you around before this semester."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:58 pm

"Intensive therapy," Nate said with a shrug. "A little too... unstable to be out. At least until now."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 2:58 pm

"Oh! Er... like... grr, argh?" She made a clawing motion.

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 3:05 pm

He held up a large clawed hand, "Yup. Grr, argh, murder on furniture, the whole raging werewolf bit. It'd be cool if it weren't so freaking scary."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 3:30 pm

"I guess Mister Logan is pretty good at helping you deal with that?"

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 3:52 pm

"Him, some others like Professor Grey. A lot of 'getting inside my head' and figuring out what's going on." He scratched at an ear absently in a distinctly canine gesture. "What about you? How long have you been here?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 3:52 pm

"About the same. Ms. Grey is really nice, too. I rather like my class with her."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:00 pm

"I'm taking the first Power Control class this year, even though I've been getting private tutoring for a while. Reinforce the base I guess. Or something like that. I forget," he said, shrugging and grinning.

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:03 pm

"As long as it works for you, aye?"

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:10 pm

"I'm trying to take that 'whatever works' viewpoint to heart."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:10 pm

"It's not like people here would really judge you."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:42 pm

"No, but I judge me and I can be pretty harsh."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 4:44 pm

"Nobody really has a handle on their powers when they first get here."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 7:07 pm

"Yeah, it's kind of why we're here."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 7:08 pm

"And hey, you do look pretty cool, all told."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 8:00 pm

"Why thank you," Nate said, standing up, towering over Samantha. "At least it comes with some benefits."

by **Samantha McManus** » Fri Sep 16, 2011 8:01 pm

"...reallybloodytall."

"Er... then again I'm pretty short myself."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Sat Sep 17, 2011 4:40 am

Nate dropped back down to all fours, which stopped the towering. "Sorry. Part of my brain is still used to being 5' 8"."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sat Sep 17, 2011 7:19 am

"It's okay. You don't have to go about on all fours."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 9:06 am

"I suppose not, but I really don't want to be talking down to you either."

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 2:49 pm

"Aye, but I don't want you to feel like you have to."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:34 pm

Nate sat down again, "There, I think we can both be happy with that, right?" He grinned.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 12:47 am

She nodded.

"Sorry, it just seemed kind of odd to have you on all fours."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 7:22 am

"How so?" He tilted his head to the side.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 10:23 am

"Because you've got hands and all?"

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 10:49 am

He looked at his hands and then down at his digitigrade legs, "I suppose. Fits the legs, just maybe not the hands."

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 10:55 am

"Well also, you're a person no matter what you look like."

by **Nathaniel Davis** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 12:08 pm

His head tilted back the other direction, "Yes. I agree to an extent. Though all fours seems to be a relatively efficient mode of transportation. So what do you do for fun?" There was a metaphorical grinding sound as the topic shifted with no clutch.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Sep 19, 2011 12:47 pm

"Er that's... kind of a good question. I read, I play video games with my roommates."

"I used to get out a bit more before my powers manifested."
