Chapter 15 - Chapter 15: Fragile Fairy

A few days have passed. Tanner sits on a couch, tail unwound. As he holds up a tablet, and silently draws. His fingers can still draw. As Lex, the wearwolf, looks entirely human, sitting at the other side. Drinking a bear, watching a football game. He is far too muscular, and strong. But he is quite, just watching the game. He looks over at Tanner a little weird. He asks "So... big feathery? What it like." Tanner pauses, and the previous only 2 eyes looking at Lex shift, as now 11 look at him. He says "Not nice. You shuld Knc-ow." The werewolf sighs. "Yeah... but there is a spectrum to this. I get too look human half the time." A tenson hangs. Tanner says "Hard... to spea-ck now. Its worse becau-se my body language makes me move sca-rcy. My eyes can see every mi-kcro-movement of fear. You are anxious, and unsure how to res-ponkt to my eyes, my slow moves. There is little i cakn do fu-ckt all abou-kt it." A anxious quite. Lex turns, slouches... and... tries to look... less... scared. Becuase he was right, he... is unsettling. His wolf inside, says... that thing... is something dangrous, a preditor stronger then him. His danger sense is saying caution. But he tries to force those feelings down... with a deep sigh. "Im sorry." A quite. Tanner says "Yuor... fine. Everkyone does it. Some more then othkers."

Lex is quite. Then began to speak "When i became a transformed... it was the start of the emergences. The very start. No one knew how it worked, or what was going on." He pauses, and says "Then, here i was, suddenly getting buff as hell, feeing instincts, and then... wreked my apartment, and caused everyone to run in fear as i became a werewolf. Pepole ran, cops came, fired at me. I hurt, i got angry, i ran, and was captured. Then the foundation came... and helped me out. Got me out of Texas, where they were calling to put me down as a beast." He is quite. "My family disowned me. I lost my life there. I think... we can agree on that reguard. Im sorry, but... my danger sense passive skill is literally labeling you something that can kill me with a flick. Its... hard to ignore that." Tanner is quite "Its corekt. I have gravikty manipulaktion."

Lex is quite. He sighs deeply. Shaking his head, and says jokingly "Im glad your still rational. Can you like make black holes, and shit?" Tanner is quite. "Spokt on." Lex's eyes widen in horror for a moment, time passes slowly. A dread... as he clams himself. "Fucking hell!" Tanner's feathers on his face shift in response. He does not say anything, as most of his eyes shift back to the tablet, as three eyes are still looking at Lex. Three golden eyes on a crown of feathered wings, with eyes embeded, with bairly any face visible. Like a bibilical angel. 

Eventually, its dark, as the door opens. As Rachiel enters, with Tessa sitting on her sholder, Grabing her neck tightly, holding on for dear life. As Rachiel enters. She sees the room, quite, Lex on the couch, watching hunting videos, as images of deer walking, and eating can be see. As his mouth moves, growls, and shutters with instincts. Rachiel sighs "Lex, how are you? Still being animal?" Lex snaps out of it, and turns off the TV quickly. He shakes his head, and says nothing, as Tessa floats up with a buzz, and floats in front of Lex. Lex smiles, and holds out his hand, as the fairy lands. She is light, warm, and it feels like a bug standing on your hand, but he ignores that. He says "How was your visit to the doctor?" Tessa says quitely, "Ok, but... scary. Hands are scary." He nods. As they see Tanner exit the hallway, seeing them here. He says "Youkr back i see." Rachiel nods "Yeah, what you thinking for dinner." Tanner says "I feel like spaghketti." Rachiel nods, "Lex? Tessa?... well... Tessa is easy, she needs suger. So candy." Tessa frowns visibly on Lex's hand, thou Rachiel can not see it, as she is not near her. Tanner can, because his eyes can see a fly 100m away when focused. Lex, becuase she is litterlay on his hand.

Rachiel moves and grabs a phone. "Lex? What you want. I'm ordering delivery." Lex considers "A beer, and some steak." Rachiel sighs "Location, you idiot. Tanner, here..." She hands Tanner the phone, and he holds it carefully, picking olive guarden, and ordering. Eventually he hands it back, and Rachiel throws the phone at lex, and he grabs it with one hand, while Tessa sits on his sholder. Close to his body heat. Wings behind her back. Eventually, as he casually orders. Tessa says "I hate... suger water. The lore does not even mention what fairies eat... now i eat fucking suger water." No one other then lex hears her, because she is on his sholder, and voice is too small. He says, quitely. Just to be clear to the others he is talking to Tessa "Yeah, but you need it." Tessa is quite. Moving on his sholder, and it feels... ticklish. But he ignores it. "I hate... being small. Everything is so scary, and huge, and... just... just so... scary!" Lex nods. Eventually handing the phone back to Rachiel, who does not even hear Tessas voice.

Eventually, they all sit, as Rachiel talks about her day. Trying to be casual. Tessa is now on her desk, drinking suger water from a bottle cap. With a ugly proboscis that emerges from her tiny, human-like mouth. She stops drinking... after having her fill. Tanner watches with 3 eyes, her from afar. As he interupts Rachiel and asks "May i asch how Tessa... umm... works. I've been... curious. Why did she go to a do-kctor today?" Rachiel pauses, and sighs "Well... tessa should be the one to ansure. One sec." Rachiel gets up, and leaves for a moment. Eventually, returning with a profesional microphone, with a speaker embeded, with a narritive foundation logo. "Something created by the narritive foundation for speech impaired transformed." She walks up, and asks, bending down to Tessa's level "Do you want to ansure." Tessa wispers something Tanner can't here. He sees superhuman, does not hear superhuman. Rachiel nods, and activates the device. As Tessa speaks into it. "Uh... well... im mainly powered by mana... not... by suger. Just... a little bit of suger is needed for... my body to function." Tanner nods, and says "My quesktion... was more... i guessk... how are you dealing..."

The world goes quite. Before, the little woman, 3.8 inches tall, with bug wings from her back, and feet that are a little inhuman. A face with eyes that are pure black, a bit too large, and don't blink. As her little form stays near a microphone, and says with a wisper, that is amplified. "Not... well. Its... horrible." She is quite. Then says "The transformation alone... was... horrible. The... emergece... it... it gave up, and just... compressed my brain... and... tore open my own skull... to relesse.. this... thing." She is quite. Shaking with emotion. Eventually she says "The... the reason... im... here... is because my family..." she is quite. Shakes.

Rachiel says "You don't have to go on if you don't want too." The little lady shakes her head "no... he... is new. He... is just as inhuman as me. He... deserves to know me... My... they put me in a jar, and... and called me... a thing. It... was... days... Until... i broke, and... used magic... and... they are gone now." She is quite, and then said "the visit was to track... the repair of my wings from a injury. A foundation specialized entomologist. My... wings... are so... fragile." She shakes, arms wraped around her. As Rachiel reaches out, with her finger, and Tessa moves, and hugs her finger. Tanner's feathers are risen, shaking, as all eyes that can focus on Tessa do. A subtle warping of light forms around him, as... a pressure builds. He is... angry. They can feel it... a utter presure of a creature that wants to destroy. "they deserve worse." He says, coldly, with a near inhuman anger. Before everything snaps back to normal, but still his feathers shake, his eyes focus away, he is still angry. He gets up, and walks into his room. "Bring the spegekti to my roomk."

Across the room... Lex is shaking, small, he wimpers like a animal overcome by insticts. He pissed himself. Rachiel, is shaken as well. But holding out, as Tessa, the litte lady, sits on her hand, by her chest. Looking at the doorway unsure. Then... *ding*... the food is here. As they uncompress. Lex, still shaken by instincts, calms himself. As Rachiel sets Tessa down, and says "I will get it... best if its someone human." She gets up, and goes to the door. Eventually, she brings in the bags, and hands the steak over to Lex, as he is more stable now. As he smiles animalisticly, while she puts her food on a countertop, and says "Im going to give Tanner his food." Tessa... suddely buzzes her wings, and floats, and sits on Rachiel's sholders. She says to her "I want to speak with him." Rachiel nods.
