It had left him on edge, being in his mare form, and not from the normal worries of his other form. It wasn't for fear of a larger creature that might attack him, or that he was the only member of his herd when standing out in the open, but it was something he had never addressed before or even took real notice of.
Sitting in the crumbled stable alongside the castle that Calder decided to claim as his room, he sat on wet, molded hay and looked at a shattered mirror he had found in one of the rooms. Wiped clean, he started at himself and then, checking ot make sure everyone was inside, shifted into a mare.
She had always considred herself pretty. It was part of her kind after all, and was glad for the nice dappled gray on her back and ashen color blending into white. despite not being a dazzling ivory, she felt she still glowed a ghostly white all her own, and wondered what it would like to lure a human onto her back.
But that power to lure and seduce a human to ride her was something she never considered could work for anyone else, and even still, if someone small and unmatched in her form's similarities did show interest, it would jus be laugable and easily dismissed. Like a toad wanting to ride upon a stag.
But Zar was similar to her, something Calder had been excited about when the demon showed he had a natural form, but for the fun of running and playing.
Not this.
Turning about, Calder moved closer to the mirror, turning her body this way and that, before turning all the way back and flicking her tail.
It looked weird.
When staring too long made her uncomfortable, Calder changed back to the man he knew and sat down in front of the mirror.
Sitting there, he stared for a very long time - before he checked around and looked back at the mirror.
It.......it couldn't hurt. Just..a small test. To see if he had the ability. Purely for practice - in case of emergencies.
Reaching into the damp hay, he pulled out a magazine. It was a special edition porno, one that showed both genders intertwined. It was one he kept because a few of the boils had such darling features, but this time,his eyes shifted to the ghouls beside them.
Setting the magazine down in front of him, prompted up against the mirror, he stared at his chest through the mirror.
"Just......a little bit." Baneful The stable has broken, rotted walls.

Zar by his very nature was a slithering, sneaking creature, and as he moved around the castle hunting rats and the infestation of cheery demon goats that he had introduced it was without a single sound. He did not care for other people's privacy despite being so determined to maintain his own and had gone looking for Calder to see what the kelpie was up to. He found him in the same soggy stable he always hung around in, and slithered low and close to the ground up alongside the rotten walls and crumbling boards. He could not see well, but the heat from the other man's body was a brilliant array of colours and when he flicked his tongue, the scent was..strange. Muddled and mingled somehow.
It seized his interest and he circled around to the doorway, crouched and tensed, not sure what Calder was up to but of course very interested.

In the security of a stable and their shared territory, Calder dropped his tense guard up and felt he could relax to some degree. If it wasn't beside someone, he might never sleep otherwise. If anything, he had to get used to thinkin this place could be a safe place and the stable a private one. For all he knew, each of them had their place. Zar below and Barth immobile.
It was before he would start dinner and it was with that confidence he even dare a small minute to entertain what he considered a ridiculous and otherwise mortifying idea.
So he undid his shirt buttons to leave his bare chest open and took deep breathes. It was a type of Fear manipulation that was different to changing his entire body, with small tweaking with a very specific design. It required attention and he took it slow. At first it was a slow swelling, as if he was gaining weight above, but this didn't look right and he let it divide and lower. It rounded out and he continued to glance at the magazine. The girls were all VERY top heavy and he conspired Babs a moment and felt that must be natural. So he went larger before darkening details.
When he felt this was a bit right, he reached up to take two handfuls and felt his handiwork. It didn't feel all that right. Maybe a bit too heavy? We're they supposed to be bouncier?

Zar had been watching the whole time and it most certainly was not what he expected at all.
He stared, mouth set in a concerned line, uncertain whether to slink away or to make himself known. He had no idea Calder was capable of the same sort of straddling genders he could do at a push.
In the end he couldn't stand it and spoke. "Perhaps a little more proportion?"

What issued was a blood-curdling scream and whinny that shook dust and wood particles from the the roof down, sending beetles and moths flying out into the open air.
Snapping his shirt and jacket closed about him in a second, wild eyes flash to see who it was and then turned to shout at the mirror. "Zar, what are you DOING in here?!" His body was bent forward and low as he clutched his clothes tight about him.
Wide eyes stared up at the mirror that reflected back in the vague direction that Zar was seen.
"Get- get out of here."

Zar didn't move, but gave Calder the strangest look yet.
"I have seen you naked hundreds of times."
He made no attempt to move, his tail curling around him like lazy mist. "Are you all right?"

"No - I mean Yes. I'm fine. Everything is fine." He said to the ground, reaching out to grab the magazine and shove it, crumpling, under one knee. "You can go now. Just.. Sitting."
Then he went back to holding his shirt and jacket, wishing them to instantly deflate but unable to focus with Zar there. He also felt winded from just manipulating himself before.
His eyes were wide, ears up, as he strained to listed and calm his racing heart.
Naked. He said he just saw me naked - but he probably didn't notice. Yes. Only naked as a boil. It's still ok.
He waited to hear if Zar had left but seeing as Zar had been so quiet for him not to hear, he called out. "Are... Are you gone yet?"

"No." Zar said in a lazy drawl, getting to his feet to move closer, as always in his natural form when around the castle. "I am still very much here." Calder got a glance over and he went on. "I'm not leaving, there is something wrong with you. I was just trying to help you with your shape shifting, curves in particular cause me a great deal of trouble."
He sat, this time close enough that his tail of its own volition flicked and curled like a curious snake at Calder's heels instead of Zar's.
"I would have left if you were doing something more traditionally private."

For once, the tail was in no way a welcomed friend but an unwanted visitor and Calder flicked his own tail in response, trying to seat it away like a pesky gnat.
"I'm not doing anything. I'm just sitting here. I do t need help. I'm fine." He stressed and as he did, he closed his eyes tightly, trying to will all his parts back to normal - but he could still feel his heart racing in his still larger chest.
He could sense Zar there now, and he felt his haunches rise up, not liking to expose his back but also not wanting to turn around either.
"Can you go now? You're being weird. " He asked again.

The swishing did not seem to deter Zar's curious tail and instead it irritably swiped away the long hair itself, resuming it's gentle but irritating overtures to the kelpie's hooves. "You seem flustered and upset, that is not really your normal self Calder. Normally it's a lot more bounce, a lot more enthusiasm. You only get droopy like this when I have either offended you or you are trying to hide something. Which is it this time?"
He shook his head. "I don't want to go, why are you being so hostile?"

Calder sat there silently, tail trying to swish but only now tugging hopessly to free itself, curls in. His head was down, letting his long hair cover his face and his ears were back.

Zar let out a low hiss of exasperation and moved to nudge Calder's shoulder with his nose.
"Is this about the breasts? Did I offend you? They were really quite good you know."

Calder only let himself be nudged but held his clothes more tightly as if he could somehow compress himseld small enough to not exist.
A pitiful whine came from beneath the mass of black hair at what Zar said.
"...no they're not."
He went quiet again.

"Why not? They looked just fine to me." Zar could not even begin to fathom what was wrong with Calder or why he had reacted so badly to his arrival. Despite this curiosity he resisted the desire to touch the other boil and seek out the emotions himself, aware that to do so was somewhat violatory when Calder was being so closed off.
"I would not say it if I did not think it." he arched his body around Calder like a protective mother and lowered his head to get a peek up under his hair, stooping to the lowest tricks he knew. "...is that a smile?"

He turned his head away from Zar, frowning and taking deep breathes.
"Why do you have to tease me?" He grumbled, frustrated yet pained. "Why couldn't you just leave it alone."
He continued to not turn to the incubus, tail flicking again but useless now.
He hated this. He hated feeling as if even this was a failure. He hated that it didn't make sense to him, and at the same time that it wasn't easy. That he was curious and yet terrified, and that he couldn't even feel comfortable anymore in being ignorant. He couldn't feel right as a mare now without now being aware of himself, and now he couldn't feel right knowing he might be able to do more.
He wished he could have just ignored it all. He wished it wasn't ever brought up.
He wished Zar would go away.
