Finally, finally, the changes taking over Miller's body ceased. Nita sat back on her haunches, taking stock of the situation. There was blood staining the carpet and a smattering of tiny feathers surrounding them. Comet was still lurking under the table, whimpering slightly.
And Miller... was distinctly more bird-like. Kind of cute, truthfully, but clearly pissed off and in pain. Nita shook her head sympathetically. She sincerely doubted that Miller would be able to fulfill that promise, but perhaps it helped to voice those threats.
"I'm sorry," she said softly, gently placing one paw-like hand on his shoulder.

Miller lay still for the most part staring up at the ceiling not bothering to move his aching body. On the bright side at least he didn't nearly drown this time.
When Nita gently placed her paw on his shoulder he finally started to move sitting up slowly at first wincing slightly as his wings shift about thanks to the newly formed muscles.
"It's notsur fault..." he mumbled back in response to the appology, he recalled another moment with Lauren distinctly then, the way she shouted Moreau's name, "...Moreau"

The girl nodded. Moreau was behind it all, even if most of the villagers never met him. Some of them had probably never even heard his name; Duvert was much more in the public eye. Taking an interest their relationships...
"Do you think you can get back to your duplex?" Nita asked. "Or you can rest here for a little while." Although she wasn't particularly keen on sharing her space, right now, Miller needed all the help he could get.

Miller stood up slowly on shaky legs leaning against the wall. He shivered once ruffling all his feathers into order again making note to get a shower and get all the blood out of the fresh ones.
"Yahz I think I canz..." he started to sway a bit but suddenly found his tail twitching about, he hadn't noticed it's sudden growth and with every littel twitch he felt his sense of balance sway, after a few minutes he found a point of comfort and stood there shaking his head.
Once clarity of balance was settled he looked back at Nita, "Look, I wantz to help Laurenz, the labz didn't help when I calledz them beforez. If you can thinkz of any wayz we could catch her... let me knowz okay?"

Nita pulled herself up, trying not to pay attention to the drops of blood flecking the carpet. As long as she got to it before the stains set...
She sighed and turned to Miller. "I know. I just... I don't know if it would be good for her to see me.... If it would help or just make things worse..." Nita's voice trailed off and she shook her head. "But if I think of anything, I'll let you know. I do still care what happens to her."

Miller slowly made his way towards the door, he stopped turning back to look at Nita with a sad look in his eyes.
"The wayz I seez it, the more familurez facez she seez the better hopefully... it's either that or the next timez we seez her she'll be like Annie..." he didn't know the details exactly, of how Annie killed her best friend, he only hopped that who ever found Lauren didn't get hurt and that they could help her before things got worse. "I'll seez youz latter..."
With that Miller let him self out gently closing the door behind him before making his way back to his own duplex.

Likening Lauren to Annie hit Nita like a physical blow to the stomach. By the time she had recovered sufficiently, Miller had gone.
"Later," she whispered at the door.
Feeling vaguely ill, Nita turned away. She had a mess to clean up.
