he was bringing in a lion caught and killed, it was terrorizing the village. the villagers shocked that this outsider not only hunted down the predator that has been stalking their village, but did so without a weapon of any kind. doing this, in return, he was allowed to stay at the shack outside of town until he resupplied.
on the way over, there was a well, no harm in getting a drink, right? there was a sign, but it seemed like it was pushed deep into the sand.
'Drink b-'.
the rest was submerged in the sand. he scratched his head, before pushing sand out of the way of the sign, who would bury the sign?
'Drink but don't look, reflections can be painful'
hmmm, weird. . . he looked in the well to see what was wrong with it. getting the bucket, and looking at the water. . . it looks like water. . . he takes a sip, taste like water. . .hmm . . . must be some kind of prank. . . he continued to drink the water before moving on to the shack, unknowing of the curse laid apon him.

Slinking around like vermin was not something a creature like me was used to embracing. However, given my circumstances I really had no choice. On all fours I crept out of the grass that surrounded the village. The long dry plant strands and their thorns snagged onto my fur, perhaps warning me not to go into the village, but I pushed on anyways. Ahead of me was a well and I was truly famished for a drink. My two long tongues flapped dryly outside of my lips, and I struggled to taste any scent in the air. I took another step forward but then froze as I noticed someone was fishing water out of the well as I was approaching.
(A lion was killed in this area today.) I reminded myself, (I should run before I'm spotted, I don't want to be mistaken for a common beast!)
I took a step back but then realized who it was I was looking at. Orange hair bushed on top of a young mans head, and I recognized his face.
"Alen?" I spoke, forgetting that my own face might not be recognized.

he perked his head up, looking around, it sounded like raillin? "rallin?" he responded, before he noticed a set of red eyes inside some brush, "raillin, why are you in- " he started walking towards raillin, before stopping, seeing that it was a creature. ". . .either someone spiked the water, or im going crazy and talking to animals. . ."

"You're not crazy." I stepped out of the brush, "At least I don't think you are."
Alen and I met on Arrival Isle and parted ways there as well, though the last time we met the both of us were men in mind and body.
"Here I thought if anyone became a beast with this world's magic it would be Roshan," I struggled to frown with long animal lips, "but I know now that this world has more tricks to play on us than we could have thought."
I was thankful to find someone familiar to me in this village however I was still very wary. I looked around, checking once again that no hunters were around to spot me.
"Could you do me a favor?" I asked and lowered my ears, "Could you place a bucket of water on the ground here for me. I'm practically radiating heat in this fur and I can't exactly use the well with these paws."

"sure" he replied. he when to fetch more water, using the pulley system to gain another bucket full of water, before reaching in, grabbing the bucket, and setting it down on the ground where raillin can reach easily.

I lurched forward, probably in a way that seemed like I was going to bite Alen, but truly my instinct was just getting the better of me. My throat was so dry, I wished so badly for something to alleviate the scratchy feeling, so I jumped for the bucket the moment it touched ground. Unfortunately for me though my actions were too sudden, and I kicked over the bucket before my snout could even reach it's waters.
The container toppled and spilled liquid over the ground. Immediately the cracks in the dirt drank up the water like long and twisted mouths. I panicked and began licking at the dirt, trying to salvage some of the water before the ground stole all of it from me.

he watched his ally lunge at the bucket, if he did bite alen, he wouldn like the taste of his left arm that much. but he could tell, raillin's eyes were set on the bucket, but he knocked it over before he got a chance to drink. "hmmm. . ." then he remembered his metal flask, though he used it for water. he pulled his flask out, unscrewed the top, picked up the bucket, and fetched more water, refilling the flask with water, harder to spill it than the bucket. and handed the flask to raillin. " try this one. " he offered.

Grains of dirt invaded the crevices between my teeth, and I coughed to force clay out of my throat. In another moment I realized how ridiculous I was acting. No... it wasn't ridiculous... It was beastly. Was I truly losing my sense of being a man? My pride scorned me at the thought and I didn't notice what Alen was doing until he lowered a flask.
I looked at Alen and my face warmed, either due to the sun or sheer embarrassment.
"I...I can't hold it up..." I adjusted my paws and swallowed dryly, "Are you willing to hold it for me?"

"I...I can't hold it up..." he stuttered. alen thought nothing of his action being embarrassing, to him, hes just helping an ally get some water. he watched raillin figit with his paws before he asked. "Are you willing to hold it for me?" "sure, i don mind." alen replied.

Again I looked around. This time I almost wanted a hunter to come around the corner, as it would give me and excuse to run away from this situation. Nothing appeared though. The area was quiet, the clouds moved slowly in the sky, and I looked back at Alen with a curled lip and embarrassed expression.
"Thank you...lower it please."
Alen did as I asked but I hesitated before opening my mouth. I clamped lightly on the flask, I didn't want to leave teeth marks in the metal, and slid the neck of the container as close to my throat as I could manage with my tongues. The water flowed out immediately and I would have been lying to say it didn't feel good. I could imagine the tight flesh of my throat growing slimier and more comfortable, and I allowed myself to just close my eyes and enjoy it. Unfortunately the nagging human part of me reminded me that I looked like a newborn calf, as Alen held the flask like a bottle for me, so the moment the water stopped I recoiled and quickly rubbed the wetness off my face.
"Please don't speak of this to anyone." I looked away from Alen and pushed and ear down with my paw, "Do so and I will owe you one, I promise."

"don worry about it." he responded, why was raillin acting uneasy? he just drank water. . . from a flask. . .probably a thing they hid back where ever he came from. oh well. "so, hao have you been?" he asked.

I passed Alen a glance.
"I've been well I suppose." I set my paw down and my claws dug into the dirt, "Though I'm starting to miss what wearing clothes feels like."
My voice was bitter, I noticed but didn't try to hide it from Alen. For weeks now I have been like this. At first it was uncomfortable, then I discovered I could cope, but now it's just annoying as no one will sell boat tickets to a monster and I can't exactly swim off this damn island.
"You?"

"Pit fights?" I started but then something caught my eye.
Under Alen's sleeve a bit of metal showed. It was sleek and fist shaped and I realized with a slight gasp.
"Alen, When did you get a new arm?"

"hmm? " he glanced at raillin before he glanced at his left arm "ah, . . found it couple of weeks ago, ive been fixing and modifying it." there was a small touch of pride in his voice when he said that. then again, comparing the condition of the arm when he first found it was alot more miserable than he realized when he popped it open, it was a surprise the wiring was useable.
