( two thousand years, yet still there are things that surprise him. he missed the dawn. the sun. the sky, alight. a human cried for him, at the end, but it was not enough to cause him to cling to life.
being alive is only a piece of the puzzle. god is not finished with him as yet, and so he will endure. perhaps this is its own penance. a sentence, and this place is but a pillory to pass his time. eric might rail against it. he would mourn the loss of his child, his nest, the place he has built in the world. godric has no such tether. so yes, he supposes he does take this displacement of self and soul better than most might. )
I thought I could smell it on you.
( the shift. difficult to be sure, as being here feels like he has been encased behind glass. his senses are dull, like a newborn's might be. his strength and speed are a tenth what he remembers. but he can smell something on her that does not seem wholly human, and godric is a creature of old instincts.
he does not like shifters. but she does not need to be aware of it. she has offered him neither insult nor harm. )
You are... ( something playful. helpful. furtive. expresses itself with ears and the slink of a tail. social, as she offered to assist him. not a dog, not a wolf, not a stoat or a weasel. raccoon? no, not bold enough. his attention turns to her hair. then he refocuses on her eyes. ) — a fox?
