[@TalijaKey] Abel watches Jose put the can in front of Manu. He picks up the one in front of him and seems to be studying the can. He slowly puts down the can and tilts his head, having been taught by his grandparents meant that many things were taught differently. To the point where he hasn't really ever felt the slip of staying as his animal self for too long. With the head tilt the light touches his hair a bit making the odd spots in his hair more visible. He watches as Manu starts to change. With that cue abel turns as if he is giving privacy. Only turning back when he hears fabric sliding against skin. Noticing his soulmate not looking at him stung a bit. No that's a lie it hurt, he was half tempted to turn back as if that would take away the awkwardness and bring back the happiness. That probably wouldn't work though. At hose'so mention he gives a small barely noticeable node, as if to say thanks for it. "I would really like that" he was still hurting, but maybe he could get his soulmate to get to know him as a human....or maybe he would be stuck with painful memories....the risk is worth it though. ------------------------------------- [@Willow Breeze] Astley stares at his name on her wrist, then shakes his head as if snapping himself out of a trance. He turns his hand slightly for it to be a handshake. "Astley Haven...nice to meet you" he smiles, he could tell his soulmate was about to have a break down and figures this is the best thing to do. Maybe he could get a smile out of her....or at least calm her down. If nothing else this should hopefully ease the tension.
