It'd be more fun if you could choose when to transform.

[settles in, stretching.]

. . . yeah, you know, it would be. I'm starting to not mind it that much, at least, which might not be such a good thing.

Hey, if you start liking it maybe it'll try to turn me into a baby duckling next.

Maybe. Who knows, this place might eventually get sick of me. Although speaking of this place, if you ever wanted to study camp effects . . . now's a good time.

... I've been monitoring, there is a lot more barrier activity but nothing I can pin-point.

No, I figured that, but I meant with me. If you wanted . . . I don't know, blood samples or something.

... tomorrow. I don't have any equipment here.

[nods.]

I trust you.

And I promise not to give you any drugs.

. . .

I am so glad your father isn't here right now. I'm sorry.

Oh, it's fine. We'd be hiding you from him.

He'd have a field day with— this.

[lifts a foot and waggles a toe claw at that.]

— that reminds me, I'm going to be poisonous.

If you're worried I can tape you up as soon as you're done transforming.

I don't want to take any chances. ... I guess there's no such thing as tape that stretches or something along those lines, huh.

... also known as elastic medical tape?

Would that work? If I could do it myself, then that would be easier.

It'd come loose as soon as you transformed if we did it now.

. . .

I'm going to make you the nicest breakfast every morning for the rest of this month.

I still have Vanille's vial, as a last resort sort of thing. So we have nothing to worry about anyway.

Just something to keep in mind.

Yeah.

. . . you're not going to tell anyone else about this, right?

"This" being?

. . . were-platypus.

Not to anyone who doesn't already know.
