It was still jarring to be like this but with no other animals around, he assured himself he was pretty safe in the open. As long as he didn't stray too close to the darker ruins where shadowlings weren't cleared out and stayed to the roafd not being used for motor vehicles when moving supplies then he was fine. All he had to do was practice on adjusting and exposure was key.
He went down a path to behind a crumbling stone wall and used the artifact, the world dropping to a much lower perspective as a wash of noise and smell hit him.
Taking deep breathes, he tested the basics. Hopping.
He moved out down the path stopping every few hops to adjust his senses.

Nash sort of wanted to pick up the bunny.
He'd noticed it while ambling around in the towns, and was now eyeing it as it hopped awkwardly across a well worn path, little nose wiggling. It seemed hilariously out of place, considering that the only other animal he'd seen on the island so far had been Lawrence in his owl form - but then again, maybe he just hadn't noticed the rest.
It was also blue. Which was probably a Thing.
Nash watched it suspiciously.

Not aware of his audience, the rabbit paused in its hooping and, overtaken with an urge, started doing a series of jumps in a circle before he fell to his side.
Small paws out, he wiggled his body back to be ulright and laid there, panting as he determined that jumping was a skill he did not have yet.

It was sort of entertaining.
Actually, it was a lot entertaining. Nash kept watching from where he stood, half shrouded under a dying tree, but as the rabbit flopped over, he pushed away and came over, squatting down in front of it. Hands propped up on his knees, Nash peered at the small blue creature.
Then he reached out a hand and prodded it with a finger to see if it was actually real.

He hadn't expected movement and to feel the ground move under him. Panicing, he looked about for any sign of a golf cart but instead saw a lank figure in dark clothes move over to him. His first action was to run but he was unsure of the direction that he instead did a series of quicky, jerking turns in the same spot until he went full circle.
When that tactic didn't work and he felt the shadow cast over him, his other alternative was to get small and so he pancaked his rounded body against the ground. If he was brown it would have worked well to hide himself. He was not brown.
Without the sun in his eyes, he could look up enough to see a familar set of layered clothes before he noticed someone familiar. His little heart thudded faster at seeing him, but a sense of dread clung to the corners out of uncertainy. There - there was no way he could know but he did know of the other creature in towns. What would he think?
The poking was unexpected and he puffed up and sank his head against his shoukderd at the action before he took 2 hops away and then sat there, slowly rising his front paws off the ground to look up and stare at him.
He smelled like a lot of things. Most nice.

It was sort of like seeing a floppy pancake someone had left in the dirt. A floppy blue pancake, which was all the more reason for it to be very much Not Right. Nash had seen a lot of bizarre things since coming to the island, but a blue rabbit was not one of them.
The rabbit squirmed away from his poking. Nash squinted suspiciously at him.
"What are you? Are you some sort of...monster?"
The squinting intensified.
"Or maybe you're something else..."

He wasn't sure if rabbit's sweated normally but he could feel the tension as Nash mused out loud at what he was and was one of the few people who could figure out that he was at least a person above all others.
Not wanting to have him think too hard on it, he turned and hopped slowly towards Nash's lap. If he thought he was a minipet or monster then a good kick could end him.
Melvin attempted a hop into Nash's lap - attempted being key. He managed half up a knee before he flopped back and had to turn back upright ahead. All this falling was really not making his coat look great and he shook his body free of dust.

He was surprised it was coming towards him again. Nash blinked down at the rabbit and then almost fell backwards as it leapt up at him, small legs kicking wildly to keep it from falling off - except then it did, a second later. Nash reached out a hand and brushed dirt from its coat.
"Why are you blue?" he said suspiciously, but then moved his hand to pat its head. "I mean, I guess you're cute that way, too, even if I don't know what you are. I hope you're not gonna try and eat my hand or anything."

Melvin did not eat Nash's hand but instead curled there, closing his eyes at the sensation of a warm hand running over him. The rabbit's coat was soft even for a rabbit even if it was blue.
The petting confirmed that Nash was a kind person all around and the best kind of person.

At least his hands were still intact. The thing hadn't tried to crunch his fingers or anything, which either meant that it was nice and pleasant, or that it was just biding its time until it was going to swallow him whole. Nash sincerely hoped it was the former.
He stroked the soft ears, smiling a little.
"You're kinda all right for a blue rabbit, I guess."

Nose moving, Melvin looked up. And you're kinda cute. You can pet me whenever. He thought.
Attempting again, Melvin moved to try and get into Nash's lap.

The rabbit was wiggling again, clearly trying to climb up. Nash shifted until he was sitting cross legged on the ground instead of crouching, reaching out to take ahold of it and help it up into his lap. It was probably not smart to do this in the middle of the towns, but, well.
His fingers moved across the creature's soft fur.
"I wonder if you're just waiting to like, eat me," Nash said. "Everything on this island is questionable."

I guess I get it, but look at me Nash. I must be adorable! He thought though he never stood in front of a mirror. a** he knew was he was a blue rabbit for some reason.
With Nash herr he decided he had a mission. Melt Nash's heart.
Curled in his lap it was hard to not be midly aware that he was fully sitting here but had the immunity of a small animal to enjoy it.
He looked up, tail twitching as he lfted his paws up to press against his chest.

It was kind of hard not to find it cute. The little fluffball, as suspiciously blue as it was, was now pressing tiny paws against his chest, and Nash was very susceptible to animals, in spite of every attempt at pretending it was otherwise.
"All right," he muttered, stroking its head. "I guess you're not half bad. As long as you don't eat me."

Okay, he got the praise and head patting. He just really needed to drive it home with Nash. Make him fall in love with him in this way and not think he was something creepy like how Lawr turned out to be a Pepping Tom. Was it creepy he was doing this or was he exempt because they were going out?
He probably was fine doing this.
When Nash stroked him again, his attention when to the pointed tip of the dangling end of his handkerchief, a piece that was sometimes covering his mouth. Leaning up, he nibbled at the end of the piece of cloth, the color a lovely colored green that just - really seemed something that needed to be chewed.
