"Yeah..." Amaya sighed and kicked her feet more, grabbing her comic and looking at the cover. "I guess I should look into it then..."

Greer chuckled at the comic book the girl held. "You don't have to, really. The upside to finding out what exactly you're turning into is learning the really neat stuff that goes along with the icky. There always is some."

"Yeah, I suposse so. I guess tasting emotions is kinda cool... and climbing is easier." Amaya smiled slightly and looked up at Greer. "Do you... know exactly what your turning into now?"

She nodded. "Yup. I'm on my way to becoming a Harris' or Bay-Winged Hawk. The only really social bird of prey as far as I know - the females are dominant and they live and hunt in packs like wolves. A fair trade for all this meat consumption, I think."

"Packs?" Amaya blinked in surprise. "I didn't think any birds lived in packs..."

"I don't think any other predatory birds do - non-predatory avians have their flocks, but that's more like a school of fish than a pack. I think it's rather nice." Greer smiled, absently playing with Amaya's hair. That was decidedly Sean's fault.

"Huh." Amaya blinked and looked ahead at the treetops, kicking her feet slightly. She didn't seem to mind or notice that her hair was being played with, but either way it didn't bother her at all. "Well, I guess turning into a lizard can't be... THAT bad... right?" Green gaze looked up at Greer for reassurance.

"Certainly not!" Greer smiled, giving Amaya a quick hug. "You're not becoming anything that eats anyone else, right?"

"No, I don't think so." Amaya blinked and frowned as something occured to her. "But what about you and the others? We won't start... eating each other, will we?!" Her eyes went wide in panic.

Seeing the girl's panic, Greer gave her a longer hug, shaking her head. "No, of course not! We're not becoming pure animals, after all. We'll still be us, and we'll still have control over what we sink our teeth in to."
She concentrated on being soothing and assuring Amaya of things she wasn't really sure of herself.

Amaya returned the hug, trying to bury her head into Greer's chest to make the thought go away. She wanted desperatly to beleive her but didn't know if she could... I mean, she had cravings so everyone else must have had them.

Greer rested her chin lightly on Amaya's head, making soft soothing noises. "We'll all still be partially human, right? So not only will the our people bits reign us in from eating anyone else, other's people bits will make our animal bits not want to eat them. Few animals are true maneaters."

"Yeah..." Amaya nodded, mostly to reassure herself. "Okay. Your right." She sniffed back tears that had wanted to push through, but hadn't been able to.

Greer smiled into Amaya's hair. "This will all work out, I promise." Making that little vow stay true was going to take a lot of work.

Amaya nodded again and sat up, grabbing her comic and tucking it in the back of her belt like she had seen Julian do. "Well, I need to do. Gotta eat and then get some sleep." The sun was already starting to set, so she would probably have to take her meal to her room again.
