~Christopher: 50%
------------------------
Christopher waited patiently by the river area on the outskirts of the jungle. The place where he first met Erik and Branwan. He hoped his little brother made it there soon. Chris had finally finished the deerskin blanket he had been working on. Plus, he just wanted to see his little brother again.
Sitting indian style on the ground, Christopher simply waited, taking a few drinks from the river from time to time to quench his dry mouth.

~Erik 50%~
Tracking his brother by scent, Erik was running quickly through the forest. As of late, he'd found it to be much more comfortable running in the jungle on all fours rather than on two legs.
'There he is.' he thought, seeing Chris at the riverside, Erik crept out slowly from behind him, wanting to get close enough to give him a little scare. 'Just a little closer...' he said in his mind.

Hearing his brother approach from behind, Christopher snickered. He had to give Erik credit for trying to be stealthy. However, now being equipped with canine ears, it made it that much easier to pick up on the more obscure details like footsteps. Besides, padding around on all fours made it more obvious as there was more beats and movement to be heard.
'Should I...' Christopher contemplated with a devious grin on his face, '...or shouldn't I?'
Christopher reached a decision and just as his little brother was about to scare him, he jumped around quickly and let out a loud snarl. Bearing his fangs, he snapped a few times and growled. Chris then began to laugh upon seeing his brother's reaction.
"Nice try," Christopher commended. "But looks like I had the upper hand thanks to these puppies."
Chris brought his hands to his head and displayed his ears, smiling.

'Just one more step...' Erik was caught completely off-guard by Chris' actions, jumping back and landing on all four legs, letting out a snarl and growl in instinctive defense. Then, standing up, he playfully said "Damn, thought I had you there."
Happy to see his brother, he asked "So, Chris, what's up? Anything interesting happening lately, any new nightmares or anything like that?"

Christopher regained his composure and suddenly got curious from seeing Erik crawling around on all fours. However, his legs didn't have the build for it just yet as they hadn't gone digitigrade. He approached his little brother and leaned over him, offering him a hand.
"Well..." Christopher began, "First I wanted to tell you I finished the blanket. Second, I thought we should have a chat. You seem to be a little reclusive again since your changes. I was just a little concerned is all because you were even hiding from me. Third, how are things going with Branwan?"

Erik was being a little reclusive lately, it was wierdest thing. "I wasn't hiding from you, it was just that...since my change, I've been having these big mood swings, I mean I know that mood swings are normal for my age, but these ones are just so sudden and extreme. One moment, I'm happy and carefree, and the next second, I just get so agressive, and speaking of Branwan, me and her were walking along the beach a few days back, and I snapped and ran after a seagull, caught it, and almost ate it, but Branwan snapped me out of it before I could actually harm it. But, thankfully, we're keeping strong. So how are you and Minna?"

Christopher lowered his gaze from his brother as he sighed, "...She's doing terribly. Ever since her second chance, she's been restless and feels like a monster. I'm trying to do all I can but I don't think it's enough. I'm worried about her Erik. I'm afraid I might lose her to this breakdown she's going through."
Then acknowledging Erik's explanation, he inquired, "Well then why didn't you come to me then? I can help you out, you know? In order to gain control, you have to embrace the changes and experiment with them in order to avoid such situations from arising. By locking yourself up, you'll just make it worse. The moodswings will just be more common which will lead to more surpression until you have no control."
Grinning a moment, Christopher asked, "So how badly did Branwan scold you for going for the seagull? And how did it taste?"

Katina 50%
Nearby Katina was trying to catch fish in a small stream, though so far she had no luck. Then a rather large fish caught her attention and she was off, chasing it while running on all fours snapping at it with her teeth. She had chased it upstream and was now almost by Chris and Erik, though she was to busy to pay attention.
She lunged at the fish and snapped at it but missed it. She quickly recovered and started the chase again," Here little fishy fishy, come to mama!" She lunged once more, fell on her belly but managed to catch the fish between her pawed hands," YES! I caught you now Mr. Fishy!" As it wriggled in her grasp she bit it and wouldn't let go until it stopped moving. She then dropped it on a rock near her and sat by it ready to eat.

Hearing Minna's progress made Erik worry about how his girlfriend would react to her next changes. "I don't know what to tell you, except that I hope she snaps out of it."
"I have no problems with my instincts, these outbursts are just...I don't know where they're coming from. I think it might be a side effect of the serum, like that nightmare you had."
Grinning, he said "And as for my sweetheart, she hit me in the back of the head to make me let go of it. And the seagull..." Erik licked his lips once, trying to remember the taste "...they taste like quail or pheasent. And I- hey wait, do you smell fish?"

The smell filled Christopher's nose as well. He had become quite familiar with it from being around Glacus. Scanning the area, Christopher pointed ahead where Katina now sat. She was ripping away at the dead fish.
"Wow," Christopher simply spat out. "I guess she's adjusting just fine. We should probably go say hi."
Approaching her, Chris greeted, "Hey Katina. How are things going?"

Even after going fishing with his dad many times during his childhood, Erik still resented the smell of fish. They tasted alright, but the stench could make him gag, so his canine nose made it worse. Pinching his nose shut, he followed his brother.
Erik hadn't Katina, since the whole 'hunting fiasco', so he was a bit surprised at her changes. Waving his left hand he greeted her, "It's been a while, Katina." Looking down at the bluegill she caught, he asked "How'd you catch that fish?"

Katina heard voices and she lifted her head from her meal of fish, seeing someone but not seeing who it was at first she snarled and growled a little. Then, after realizing it was Chris and Erik she blushed and put down the fish, which was still in her mouth. "Oh, hi guys. I way just, uh fishing." She smiled nervously. She felt really embarrassed for letting her animal side take control like that," W-want some fish?" She held out the fish, embarrassed.
She looked at erik then pointed to her mouth," My teeth." She smiled and took another small bite of fish.

Christopher shook his head a little, "No thanks. I just got done eating a while ago."
Having a seat on the ground, Christopher looked between his brother and friend, unsure of what to do. After a moment, he gave up and just used that came to mind, "So... You guys mind if we talk about some personal stuff? Like mainly some stuff occuring with our changes. There's a couple things I was wondering about... if any of you had been experiencing the same stuff."
Letting out a sigh, Chris inquired in an embarassed manner, "First of all... have any of you been struggling with the urge to uhm... mark territory at all?"

Whereas brother was full, Erik was starving, bending over the river, Erik saw a nice bluegill. Aiming carefully and timing his movements, he succeeded in catching the fish. Sitting down with his friends, he bit off the fish's head and spit it out. Chris' question unnerved a little 'What kind of personal stuff does he want to talk about?' he thought. "Sure, go ahead, tell us what you've been wondering."
His smile quickly went to a shocked expression, "Well, I mean, I did it...once. What about you Katina?"

Katina nodded and took another bite of her fish, more for her then.
She sighed," I would love to chat but I must go and change my clothes." She pointed to her wet shirt and skirt. She stood up and shook off her body to get most of the water off but then realized what she was doing," Oops, im sorry guys." She blushed a little hoping she didn't get them too wet.She then looked at Chris," N-no I haven't but I have well been very, er playful lately.."
She dug a hole and buried the fish, she didn't know why it just seemed like the thing to do.," Well, I will see you boys later." She smiled and waved and she walked off her tail drooping as it wagged from the water.
