Stretching slightly with a yawn I blink open my eyes. I sleepily look at rosey...and Jarry? I thought he would be gone by now. I must admit I am very confused. With a small groan I crawl out of my bed. I then walk into the room I keep my food, potions, and other odds and ends in.
Giving a quick glance around my eyes fall onto a small stack of modified apples. The apples were modified with magic, I made them more my size so I could eat them. I grab a yellow one and a two of normal sized red ones. I bite into my apple and head back to my room. I put the apples on my nightstand then turn into my animal form.
I sit on my haunches and consider my next move. “ Hmmm, should I?” I whisper to myself. I also answer myself by saying, “ Yes, yes I should.” With that I jump up onto the bed, Landing all four paws in the center of it.
I hear a scream of pure terror as Jarry wakes up and finds that he is not on the bed anymore. He comes crashing down on a pillow and I belly crawl over to him. “ You alright there? You sounded like you were being murdered.” I ask him while wagging my tail.
Jarry seems speechless as he catches his breath. “ No! No I’m not ok! I thought I was going to die!” He howls in anger. I chuckle at his exaggeration and transform back into my human form. I the reach for the normal sized apples and give one to the human and one to Rosey. I then get my apple and chow down on it.
After everyone finishes their breakfast. I ask Jarry, “ So are you going to go back to your village now?” He shakes his no slowly, and that action leaves me confused. “Why don’t you want to go home?” I question him.
“Well...I’m not exactly wanted in my home town.” He nervously chuckles. I give a hum signaling for him to continue, “ I, ummm, get into fights almost daily. stole many things. I stole things from food to jewelry, to pets.-” Jarry mumbled while looking over at Rosey. “- I was chased out of my town with people shouting ‘ Never come back!’...”
I pull Rosey away from the human and put her on the ground. “ Oookay then, so are you gonna leave? Or are you going to stay with me? It is your choice.” I ask.
Jarry started to fidget. He seems to be deep in thought before sadly asking, “ C-Can I stay with you? You did offer even after I told you why I’m banned from my home…”
With those words I grow exited. ‘ Yay! I have a friend!’ I think to myself. I then turn into my animal form and jump off the bed. “ Sure!-” I chirp happily. “- You can stay with me! You wanna go to the lake?”
I know the last part of my sentence was totally random, and that was probably why Jarry was giving me a weird look. He ends up nodding yes though. I give him the biggest smile I can as a canine. I then turn back into my human form, crouch down, and offer my my hand out onto the bed.
Jarry sighs and slowly crawls up onto my hand and I smile. “ Would you like to ride on my shoulder?” I hum out the question. He once again slowly nods. So I shift the human to my shoulder and wait for him to find a stable position before I stand up.
I walk into the odds and ends room to grab an ointment and some bandages. When I do I then excitedly walk out of my cave to get to the lake.
When we got to the lake I plucked Jarry off my shoulder and put him on the ground.I set the ointment and bandages by Jarry. I the turn into my animal form and and take a running leap into the water. It makes a really big splash. The water was deep enough so I could swim, even when I was in human form. I wade back to the shallows when I was thoroughly soaked.
I look in the water and see my reflexion. There's a big creature that stares back at me. This creature has red fur, gold eyes, fox like front paws, wolf like back paws, a fox tail, a wolf like body, and fox ears. All the creature’s paws were white though. I smile at the reflection and it smiles back, that makes me happy.
Ater playing with my reflection for a bit I waded out of the lake and shake my fur out. I then turn back into my human form and walk back to Jarry saying, “ Okay, we are gonna clean that nasty cut on you leg and rebandage it.”
I quickly sit down and scoop Jarry up before he can protest. I then gently pull of the old bandage, use my sleeve to wipe of the wound, put ointment on the wound, and put a fresh bandage on the leg. I look to see if the bandage is on right. It is, so I smile at Jarry and put him back on solid ground.
“ Well, erm,uuhhhhh... thanks for helping with my injury Sil…” Jarry said with a small smile.
“Sil?” I question at the new nickname.
“Sorry, I shouldn’t have giving you a nickname!” Jarry said quickly.
I give him a bright smile and say, “ Don’t be sorry. I like the nickname you gave me.”
