[It's a perfectly nice sunny day to fly. He's been feeling peculiar, sure, but not so bad he's going to give up his favorite activity. Just tingly. Itchy, sort of. A little queasy when he eats, not very hungry in general It's an allergy to something, he's been told. It'll pass.

And he's having a fine time... until he's mobbed. Crows. Horrible obnoxious things. He understands perfectly well why they'd go after him--it's just survival. But it's never pleasant, and they're generally too quick for him to turn and fight back. Easier to just leave, which is what they want. And which is what he's doing, irritably, until...

He starts to grow. He's very quickly becoming one damn heavy bird of prey, and he can't seem to stop it. He wasn't even thinking of morphing, not in midair, and the panic gnawing at his nerves only makes it worse... the morphing, if that's what it is, actually prickles, like a million needles stabbing at his skin. He feels hot and heavy and he needs to get down to the ground now. Fortunately, he's able to make it to the ground without plummeting and splatting.

But the obnoxious mob follows, as he hasn't gone far enough. He's still a threat, in their minds. A weird one. A grotesque, twisted shapeshifting mess, still growing larger and scalier. Also, yelling to anyone in the immediate area...]


< Ahh! Come on! Leave me alone! Not now, you idiots! What the hell is wrong with me! >

[He doesn't regain control of his morphing. It happens again and again, every time he's stressed out. And who wouldn't be feeling a bit stressed with this kind of nonsense sprung on them, let alone on top of everything else? It's very, very hard to stay calm.

So, just in case, he's taken to spending most of his time outdoors or sleeping in the arena. It's the only sensible option. He can't be indoors, he's too likely to morph a certain gigantic tank monster and crushing the furniture. Or a person. And he had the sense to tell one person at least that he wasn't kidnapped! He's learning.

It's a restless, uneasy few days. Fortunately, it won't last forever... Four days into his 'sickness', he starts to feel very bad indeed. A wave of almost painful nausea, and the sensation of another mind looking out through his eyes. An animal mind, stronger than his normal hawk instincts. Smart, curious, but confused. And once again, he starts to change, bones cracking...

What a shame he didn't have the foresight to lock himself in one of the cages!]

[Ren thought he'd seen everything walking around campus. Watching a bird of prey kind of transform mid-flight is certainly new.

He takes a step forward and then hesitates when he hears a voice, not immediately certain where it's coming from.

Ah!

[Ren kind of moves before he really thinks about it, rushing to intercept and hopefully catch the falling raccoon before it come to serious injury.]

Are...are you all right?

[Okay, so the creature can talk. Good to know.]

What shape are you supposed to be? I can't tell right now.

[Oh so he's talking to a hawk. Fantastic. It? He? Looks agitated and Ren is just the person to help with that.]

I have a trick that helps me calm people down. I can try it on you if you'd like.

[That has to be disconcerting at the very least. Ren takes a deep breath, touches the hawk on his back and exhales.

When he exhales, he releases his power. It races over him a wave, but without any pressure to it. What it does is wipe away agitation, sadness and any other emotion, replacing it with crystal calm.
