[He groans, lifting his free hand to run through his hair above the visor]

I guess? This keeps happening, I don't know what I'm doing to turn it on or off...

[But hey, that's right, Allen had to face down his fear just to help him. He looks up at him, squeezing Allen's hand.]

Are you?

Action;

My guess is you're setting it off when you let your thoughts wander to it. Powers can work like that, especially new ones.

[Which is a pain really, but that's how it goes. At the question, he tilts his head like he was going to scratch the back of his neck- but oh right, missing arm.]

Well, it's ... it's been a day, I'd say. [He chuckle humorlessly at the remark before looking back at Clay]

But at least I'm with you now. That alone makes it better.

Action;

[geonomy]

Mm... That might be it.

[Which is so annoying, ugh. He keeps thinking about it because it's so new.

But with that last part, Clay gives a half smile, then lets go of Allen's hand, sitting up and wrapping his arms around his middle, chin resting on his shoulder]

Same here. I just wish I had a power that was easier on us both.

[And you know, something that'll make Clay actually be able to walk around and not scare Allen to death.]

Action;

[save_the_souls]

[When Clay wraps his arms around him, Allen can't help but relax against him for a moment with a sigh.]

Yeah...

[He's not going to address his fear right now. All it will do is bring it back. So-]

If you get stuck in that form again, you're going to have to learn to walk. I doubt I could carry you back to the shuttle way I am right now.

[geonomy]

[That's right, Allen doesn't have super strength anymore... Rather than address it, he gives a snort at that, tipping his head over to bump it against Allen's gently]

Yeah, or maybe I'll just drag myself there. I can't figure out how those legs work, man.

Action;

[save_the_souls]

Really? Don't you get any sort of...deeper animal instinct in that form that tells you how to walk? Isn't that how it usually works in stories?

Action;

[geonomy]

Well, those stories lied, 'cause I never got some kind of inner guidebook on this whole thing. My legs feel backwards when I'm like that, how am I supposed to walk if I want to bend them one way but they go the other?

[He sighs at that, relaxing a little further against his boyfriend]

And then everything else feels weird, too. I have a tail.

Action;

[save_the_souls]

Oh. That's rubbish, I'm sorry.

[As much as he dislikes lions- having to learn it all himself like this?? Where's the fun??]

Ah...yeah. Think the tail's still there too.

[It's not, but it was too tempting to joke about it]
