Day two brought nothing but rain, a downpour so heavy that even the enormous leaves of the surrounding trees sagged. That gave them more time to discuss the finer points on what shifters could really do.

“Okay, you can heal fast. But can you regrow limbs?”

“Limbs, no. The nanotechnology doesn’t work that fast nor that well. We can heal, but we still get scars.” He ran a thumb along the one going through his eyebrow.

“How did you get that, anyway? One of your fights with Ethan, I bet…” Samantha adjusted her bedsheet-dress around herself. It was starting to feel a little dingey against her skin but she had no interest in parading around the place in her birthday suit.

“If only the story was that romantic. No, I got this one fighting off a lemmurl.”

“And that is…?”

“A monkey-like squirrel. About this big.” He held his hands roughly six inches apart.

She couldn’t help but burst into a fit of laughter. Here, she’d thought it would have been something big and ferocious, something that would make that scar a grander tale. Instead, he’d earned his “battle wound” from something no bigger than an oversized rat.

“Laugh it up all you want. I was maybe ten on my first hunt and those things are vicious during mating season.”

That didn’t make the situation any better.

“So… not only did you lose a fight to a rat… but it was a horny rat. Oh my god, that’s hilarious,” she managed between gasps for air as she wiped a tear from her eye. Laughing felt so foreign to her at this point that it left her feeling a little light-headed.

Her laughter was somewhat infectious that Zen couldn’t help but smile along with her. It was nice to see that she was capable of something more than just glowering.

“I’m glad my screaming, bleeding twelve-year-old self is amusing to you.”

“I don’t usually laugh about bleeding children, but I’ll make an exception for you, just this once.”
