Changed, Tale of the Second Human

Winged Latexes

After taking a brief nap, Snowy woke up feeling eager to introduce Drew to her brother. Her tail wagged with joy as she thought about how her brother was always seeking to learn more about the world around him She even remembered the time when he told her about a human currently in stasis, which may have been why he was so excited about seeing her again. 

Snowy: Drew, wake up!

Snowy heard Drew, who was slowly opening his eyes. She noticed that Drew's eyes were back to normal, and she ran up to him. Her ears perked up excited as she told Drew that she knew the path to where her brother spent his free time. 

Snowy eagerly tugged on Drew's sleeve. "Come on!" she said with a grin. "I'll show you where my brother spends most of his time." 

Drew hesitated, feeling a bit nervous about meeting new people. "Um, okay," he said hesitantly. "But can we not drag out the introductions? I'm not great with new people."

"Of course," Snowy replied with a reassuring smile. "Let's go check it out!" And with that, they set off on their adventure together.

Drew and Snowy started to continue onward. Snowy, being more familiar with the area, would often run ahead of Drew, who would follow closely behind, trying to keep up. As they made their way down a long hallway, Snowy suddenly sprinted off, prompting Drew to chase after her. When he finally caught up, Drew asked Snowy why she had run off like that. Snowy, feeling guilty for leaving Drew behind, tilted one of her ears downwards and apologized for the 

Drew playfully teased Snowy, "Hey, hey, why did you ditch me back there?" 

Snowy looked up with a guilty expression, "I'm sorry, I was just so excited to see my brother that I completely forgot about you."

 Drew grinned and put his hand on Snowy's shoulder, "No worries. I know how important it is for you to introduce me to your brother. Let's go!"

Snowy's eyes flickered away from Drew, unable to meet his gaze for more than a fleeting moment. A wave of sorrow washed over her face, the memory of leaving Drew behind still raw and painful. Despite Drew's reassuring words, Snowy couldn't shake off the guilt of what she had done. Drew sensed that something was amiss, and even after Snowy's attempt at explanation, he could tell that she was still deeply troubled by their past.

Drew thought of something and asked Snowy if she could move her head to face him.

"Hey Snowy, can you look over here for a sec?" Drew called out, trying to catch the attention of his furry friend.

Snowy was at a loss for words, but she couldn't help but turn her head towards Drew. Suddenly, Drew did something unexpected - he gently booped Snowy's nose! Although Snowy was initially confused, the playful gesture instantly lifted her spirits and left her feeling less upset. In fact, she was so taken aback by Drew's adorable action that she couldn't help but blush with excitement!

Snowy looked up at Drew with tears in her eyes and choked out, "Drew? Why? Why did you-" 

Drew cut her off gently, "Because I care about you, Snowy. No matter what happens between us, I will always be there for you."
