This?
This was weird.
It had been just a few weeks since the unexpected transformation - Aubri, had he been given a choice, would only in very few circumstances choose to have a human body - and he still felt like a yearling lamb, stumbling over himself and unsure of his own body. There was no telling when or if he'd return to his own body; though, in some ways, this already was his body. He could see the traces of gryphon still present: tawny gold eyes, fingernails that were more like talons, a suggestion of feathers in amongst too-human hair.
He'd taken to the roof of his home - a ramshackle apartment - in this city of eternal dusk. He still like high places, go figure. Aubri knew he should be going; he was probably already late for his dinner with Mary. She'd done so many things for him, not the least of which was helping him figure out how to be newly human when he'd shown up (naked) on her doorstep.
But the breeze was just on the pleasant side of brisk and he imagined flying.

"I lost track of time. I was on the roof." That probably told her all that she needed to know.

" I mean, I don't blame you. I would miss it too if I spent my whole life as this big glorious bird cat and then was made into a tiny squishy human." she said shoving her pack back into a side closet.

He spent enough time in front of the mirror, trying to become familiar with himself, to know that he still looked not quite human: tawny gold eyes weren't a common human color, feathers weren't often interwoven into human hair, and his fingernails were more like small talons, durable and sharp. Not quite right, neither human nor gryphon.
And totally grounded. "I do miss it."

" For whatever it's worth, no matter which form you're in. You're perfect to me." she said ruffling a bit of that hair feather mix on his head.

"What's for dinner?"
no subject
" Roast, and some of the ground potatoes I grew. I picked greens for a salad but I wasn't too sure if you're ready for that just yet, but it is an option." she said going into the kitchen and starting to pull food onto the table which was already set.
