LOVE LESSONS

~SHIFTER~
*She was starting to feel a little less intimidated by everyone and everything.. Although she still spent most of her time alone.. Crowds still overwhelmed her. She liked the new compound. Loving to spend as much time as she could in the underground park.. It was a place she could go to relax. The place was big enough that she frequently would go down there to practice her changes.. Changing to some animal to roam the park. The only problems where the time before and after the change.. In order to not run around the compound naked or in animal form she had started to slip her clothes off in the woods, change, then when she was through slip them back on.. Right now she was in one of her more favorite forms as she lounged down by the pond. She ignored the looks of others as they stared at the large tiger.*

~TYTAN~
*She`d only been here a few weeks. But already she had her normal techie fan club. The ones that liked to follow her around when she wasn`t trying to ditch them or utwardly telling them to leave her the hell alone. She`d not made any new friends here really either. there was that strange young boy. But he`d seemed rather scared of her. She walks through the door into the underground garden. Making her way through the marked paths and looking all around. In her country, something like this would be a luxury for everyone to envy. She sees the rather large tiger over by the water. Wondering why anyone would let such a dangerous animal into the complex and run free. But it would appear that everyone else simply ignores the beast. Maybe it was a tamed creature. Sighing a little as she brushes some of the hair from her face. She wanders over to it, still dressed in her work outfit, the normal spandex thing. She kneels down from the animal a few feet away, looking at it admiringly. Such an easy life the beasts of the world have...*

*She heard someone new approach. For a moment she ignored them as she debated whether or not to growl at them for disturbing her.. Finally she lifts her head up. Seeing who it is she jumps up in delight totally forgetting she is in a tiger form and her jumping looks more like a pounce.* Natallia!! *She remembered the woman from the one time she had meet her in France in the cafe.*

*She blinks a moment. Seeing the huge tiger jump at her. The fact that the tiger had spoken at all not registering in her mind. Reaching out to grab the beast in mid air and hold it aloft by one of it`s back paws. The action actually being no more work for her than lifting a straw would be for an adult... Then it does hit her, after the tigers been dangling for a few seconds.*[Russian: What the.....?] Do I know yooou?*Seeing as Toshis is still in the tiger form. and not having read all the hunter files of who`s stationed at this base yet.*

*Tytan isn't the only one blinking.. Toshi is doing plenty as she finds herself half dangling in the air as her legs are held. Giggling she looks up at Tytan only now realizing she is a tiger.* Um.. Yeah.. Only I looked a lot different.. I'm Toshi..

*In shock, she grabs the front paws of the ladytiger and twirls her so she`s faceing muzzle to face with Nat. Pulling the tiger into a huge bearhug as she closes her eyes and sways the beast about. The feeling being rather uncomfortable seeing as she`s one of the strongest beings alive and the hug`s none too gentle.* Oh Commrade... I aaam so haaappy to be meeting you again. I know no one heeere. They taake me froom my ooother hoome and plaaace mee heeeere weeks ago.*On the verge of tears that she actually has a friend here.*

*Lots more blinking occurs as Natallia, in a word.. Manhandles her.. She is definitely not use to touch in any form and most especially when she is a rather large tiger.. For a moment she stiffens a growl slipping unconsciously from her lips before she hears Natallia's words.. She knew exactly how the other one felt.. Giggling more she licks Nat's face.* If you don't stop squeezing you still wont have any friends.. *Her tone is teasing.. Although she is glad she is in tiger form. She didn't think her human form could withstand the hug.*

*She opens her eyes in a flash. Not realizing that she might be hurting, instead of pleasing, the person she`s embracing. She drops the cat immediately, backing away and folding her arms over her stomach.* I aaam sorry iiif I hurt you. Sometimes I forget about...*She looks down at her arms and closes her eyes again. Slowly taking a seat on the ground in an indian style. Folding her legs one over the other. She sighs heavilly once, then props her head on a waiting hand, elbow on knee.* Daaa buuut getting uuused to aaall thiiis, how you say.... Biiiites theee biiiig one.

*Catching the nuance in Nat's voice she pads over laying down next to her reaching a paw out to lay in her lap.* You didn't hurt me.. *She lets out a soft sigh as well.* I know.. Way t0o many people.. *It was a little hard to understand the other woman. She had to really listen to what she said.* I guess we both have to learn control..

*Nat looks at Toshis paw a bit absently... Sliding her other hand to cover it as gently as she can. Still cradleing her head with her other hand as she sits.* I wiiish I knew people...*It was hard for her to understand what Toshis saying completely as well. And the only other person that seems to know Russian here at the base is a real Bitch. She nods in agreement about learning control. Looking around to make sure her fan club isn`t following her around as usual. It seems as though she`s lost them for the time being.* Do you ever thiiink abouuut haaaving a boyfriend? On dee outsiiide I mean.

*She chuckles when Nat talks about knowing people.* I'm happy being alone and having only a few friends.. I'm not use to all these people...*She turns to see what Nat is looking at. She doesn't see or smell anyone near which is how is usually was.* Are you expecting anyone? *She didn't realize that Nat was followed around endlessly. Her thoughts are interrupted by Nat's next words.* A boyfriend?!? Outside?!? *She almost loses her shape at the shock.. A boyfriend? She didn't think she could stand to be that close to anyone.. She had heard that there was a lot of touching involved when you had a boyfriend.. As for outside.. She shudders at the thought of being outside the compound.. She had been able to avoid most others unless she was training. No one, not even Pole knew that she was developing a very big fear of anything beyond the compound..*

*She gives Tosha a weak smile.* I liiike being around peeople I liiike....*Well that sentence wasn`t very gramatically correct. Though she`s far from knowing it. Watching as Tosha looks to see who Nat is looking for.* No... Theeese..*She seems to be searching for a word.* Techs.... They always follow me around. Perverts they aaare. Caught one trying to set uuup camera iiin my room.*Wondering why Tosha seems to be so phobic about the subjects she brings up. she scoots a little closer to the tiger so that no one would be able to hear them. And actually able to talk even more quietly than humans because of the advanced senses that all Unnaturals have.* You do liiike boys....da? *She`d been around a couple, she`s never done what some other women obviously have. But she knows a lot about the subject. Her father was very clear on her duties as a woman to men. The fact that she would one day be expected to bear childeren. Little does she know that, more than likely, that won`t be happening either. But the act, what she`s seen of it on television, astounds and interests her. Perhaps Toshi was like some of the women on the T.V. who liked other women...* Or maybe you like girls...?*Uninhibited by the western worlds taboo discussions, and not seeing anything wrong with the idea that same sex might like each other.*

*Frowning she shakes her head.* I'll talk to Pole about it.. *It suddenly hits her how she is the one person most everyone avoids and she is sitting here with a woman that men seemed to hang around.. Laughing she rubs her head against Nat's arm.* Stick around me.. I get avoided like the plague because of my relationship with Pole.. *She wasn't much on taboo or being inhibited either. When you lived in a fish bowl and were nude each time you shifted you tended not to even think anything about it. Still Nat's questions catch her off guard.. Even if she does misinterpret them..* I like boys.. *She did like Pole, Yohann and Mettalic..* Girls are ok too.. *She liked Nat and Becca.. She really didn't know any others.. She was beginning to respect Venin even if she didn't really like her still.*

*She`d already reported all the Techs that she`d caught and remembered. The one in her room had gotten a show he really didn`t want. Seeing as she threw him right through the steel door to her room. She raises the arm that was on Toshis paw, then places it on her head. Rubbing behind her ears. She chuckles a little, a rather lilting and husky sound.. A small smile forming on her lips.* Da, but i`m waaatched like a piiicture of the week... Maaaybe together wee caaan find a haappy medium.*She laughs a little at her own joke, finding it funny. Though her dry humour is usually her own... The idea that Toshi likes both men AND women gives her reason to pausing in stroking her ears. Though her hand begins again a moment later... She`d thought of women a couple times. But she`d not known it was acceptable to prefer BOTH.* Haaaave you ever haaad boy or girl? I haaad man iinterested enough once to try aaand take what he wanted... He lost head though...*Literally... she slapped it off with one hit.*

*Nat's scratching has her purring in no time.. At this time she is a cat and loving the attention as she lays her head in Nat's lap. She had totally misunderstood Nat's question.. She barely knew anything about relationships and nothing at all about sex.. Content she barely listens to what Nat says.* Had? I don't eat people...*Confused she turns onto her back to look up at Nat.. Her paws encouraging Nat to scratch her chest.*

*Furrowing her brow in confusion for a moment. Not understanding what eating people had to do with being with people... Had she phrased the question wrong? Oh DAMN.... English was such a hard language with all its wierd rules and hidden meanings. She takes the invitation and scratches the big cats chest. Taking her hand from its supporting role and using it to scratch Toshas exposed chin as well.* Thaaat iiiis good. You would probably get indigestion... But I meant... Haaave you ever haad boyfriend, or girlfriend? You know... Haaad one alone wiiith you and all thaat.*Still keeping her voice low so that none of the passing workers or anyone would hear her.*

Oh.. *she wrinkles her nose as she thinks her purring growing louder from her enjoyment of Nat's scratching.* Yohann was in my room alone with me once...*She still didn't understand where Nat was going. Sex education had /not/ been part of her training and being in isolation for so many years had left her without the even rudimentary understanding of a child.*

*She`d met Yohann once in the training room. A likeable guy... She raises a brow though, taking the "in my room once" comment right where it probably shouldn`t have gone. A dangerous mix, a slight understanding of English paired with a sheltered youths understanding. The probablility or resulting understanding disaster.....90%.* He was....?*She blinks a few times.. Lowering her voice even farter as she continues the scratching.* How waaas iiit? Diiiid you haaave fun?

*Yep.. Language barrier and naivete combine for total misunderstanding.. Her eyes close as she nuzzles closer to Nat like any cat would that was being scratched and enjoying it.* It was a lot of fun...*She doesn't mention that all they did was wrap Christmas presents. Something Toshi had never done before and had resulted in tape and bows being stuck all over..*

*Her eyes go a bit wide, though Toshi wouldn`t be able to see them since she`s lying belly up getting her chin scratched. Not only had it been fun, but it had been a LOT of fun. With her limited understanding of the language, she takes that as being a huge step up from simply fun. Mentioning the christmas present thing would have taken her mind away from the gutter it was spiraling down..* Whaaat diiid he dooo?*It looked fun on television, but being able to ask somone first hand, who`d obviously had experience, was alot better.*

He helped me wrap Christmas presents.. *She giggles as she remembers the day.* I hadn't ever done that before.. It was a lot of fun.. *She had no idea where Nat's mind had gone from her earlier statements.. So had no idea how her words now would effect the woman.*

*She stops scratching for a moment... Christmas presents? She starts to giggle at first, and then bursts out into fullblown laughter. A few people looking their way as she goes into the hysterics.* Chr...!*She keeps laughing, pressing a hand to her chest beneath her throat to try and calm herself...* And I thou.... you twoo...That he.....An` you...!*She just can`t stop laughing at the fact she`d ben so mixed up as to what had happened in the room. Lieing down on her back and holding her stomach to try and stop the fervent, violent, sobs of delight.*

*Confused and not liking the fact that Nat had stopped scratching her she rolls over to look at her.* Thought what? *Not understanding why Nat is laughing she begins to think Nat is laughing at her. Growling softly she gets up starting to move away into the woods.. Hurt that someone she thought was her friend was laughing at her.*

*She finally gets control of her laughter as the tiger is moving away. Gasping for air as she sits back up. Still holding her stomach from the violent rumblings. Though she no longer felt pain as everyone else did, she could still feel the uncomfortableness of tireing muscles..* I aaamm sorry commrade.. I thought theee two of you were alone... Liiike, iiin a bed alone..*She gets out a couple of after giggles. Though truely hopeing she`d not insulted Toshi too much, after all, she`s her only real friend in this place.*

*It was probably a good thing she was already partially in the woods.. Nat's words left her so shocked she lost control of her shift.. Moving just a little further into woods as she looses the bulk from the tiger form. Changing from a larger form than her own was always a messy thing. All that she is able to manage in response to Nat's words is a strangled noise as she shifts*

*She hears the strangled noise easilly. Blinking a couple times she stands up and heads over to the small underbrush. Not knowing what`s going on. Parting a couple of the bushes branches, she looks into the hidding area provided. Hopeing that TOSHI isn`t that mad at her. She moves into the forest a little.* Toshi..? You are naught maaad at me niet?*Hoping to catch sight of the tiger as she moves a little deeper.*

*She won't have to move far before she will be stepping in what looks very much like half melted lard or shortening and lying in the middle of the mess would be Toshi, a very naked Toshi. Hearing Nat she looks up as she starts to push herself up.* I'm not mad Nat.. I thought you were laughing at me cause I didn't know you were talking about men and women being in.. *she blushes the blush covering her whole body as she looks down away from Nat.* in.. You know that way.. *It should be clear even to Nat at this stage that Toshi has no understanding of sex or the relationship between lovers.*

*She looks around to make sure then have no peepers following them.. Walking over to the gooey substance and holding her hand out for the girl to take so she can help her out of it if need be.* Noo my dear friiend. I waaas naught laughing aaaat you. *Seeing the blush cover Toshis whole body, something Nat takes a slight look at despite modesties sake, then looking back to Toshis eyes. Understanding now that not only had the girl NEVER had a boyfriend, she`d probably not seen many of americas popular movies today. Those illustrated easily the realationships between men and women, a few of them very graphically.* Da... I vas talking aboout them iiin thaat way commrade. I appoligize. I diiid not know how much you didn`t...how much you don`t knoow.. Do you have clothes around? Or vould you like me to go geet you somthing to cover up wiiith?

*Her lack of knowledge embarrasses her even more.. Though she reaches out to take Nat's hand. Her nudity doesn't bother her at all. She didn't even think about it. She had done too many shifts around others to have it bother her. Though she did remember most people were uncomfortable around it. Nat didn't seem to be though.* No I haven't.. I guess you didn't know that I've only been out of a sterile, isolated environment for less than a year.. There are a lot of things I don't know.. *She didn't blame Nat at all for the misunderstanding..* I have some clothes over there.. *She nods towards her t-shirt, jeans and shoes close by. A towel lying next to them. Her body is still slick and covered in some of the goo yet as she starts to move over to her stuff. Grabbing the towel as she began to clean off her body.* I make sure I come prepared now.. I get strange looks going back to my room in whatever form I had chosen for the day. Or if I walked back nude.. Pole told me not to do that..

*She pulls the girl up close to her as she accepts the helping hand up. Nats gloved hands save her from the feeling of the goo, whatever feeling it might be. Nats taller than most women, well into 6`0. She looks Toshi over pointedly after her statements before she lets her go to dry off and get the clothing.* Some people are bothered around nudiiity. Iiiit is naught as taboo where I come from. Though one must haaaave modesty around public places, iiit iiis simply somthing people talk about in paaassing. Where aaas, from whaat I understaaand, iiin the ameriiicas iit`s shied away from. Pole probably told you thiis for your protection. Men, on the outside world, often try to take advantage of women because they are seeen aaas the weaker of the species.*Where as Nat is the epitome of that untrueness. More than likely stronger than anything else that`s ever been alive.* He might be afraiid thaat one of the workers may become to liiberal wiiith you. And attempt to taake somthing thaat`s meant to be given.*She leans against one of the trees, the wood groaning from the pressure put on it`s trunk.* You are a very beautiiful lady. Nudity iiis often whaaat men desire to see the most.*She shrugs.* Theey are weak thaat way.

*Toshi is much smaller than the other woman, barely 5'. Smiling she looks up at Nat.* Thanks.. *Nat's looking doesn't bother her at all. Why should it? Although as Nat talks she frowns slightly.* I don't understand that.. *She had never been treated as an object of desire. Then again the majority of the scientist that had made up her knowledge of people had been with her since she was an infant or at the least a young child. They were more interested in what she could do not what she looked like.. She stops in her drying as she looks up at Nat.* Nat...

*She continues her leaning position on the tree. Unaware of what roads Toshis mind heads down.* Perhaaaps you should do some reading. Or aaask somone, before you make any serious triiips into the surface world. Iiit`s a dangerous place iiif you don`t know its customs and practiices.*She watches the girl as she dries off a slight smile on her face until she realizes that Toshis stopped, and that she`s been asked a question.* Uh...hmmmm? Da Commrade?

*It's much easier to see her expressions in this form. As Nat talks about going out of the compound panic sets in. Her hands clutch the towel a lot tighter the knuckles turning white. The color drains from her face as she starts to breath faster.. She forgets about her question to Nat. All she can think about is how big and dangerous it is outside the compound.*

*She keeps her eyes on Toshi watching as her knuckles turn white from how hard they grip the towel. Was what she had to ask that embarassing that she needed to panic so obviously? She pushes herself off the tree, the action almost sending the tree snapping in half. though it jiggles violently for a few moments after she`s left it. She walks over to Toshi and places her hands on her shoulders. Seeing the lack of colour in her face as she clears some of the girls stray hair away.* Aaask your question commrade...*Not realizing that it`s her description of the world at large that had caused the girl to go into this state of obvious panic.*

*Closing her eyes she leans against Nat trying to calm her panic. It takes her a minute, but she is finally able to push back a bit to look up at Nat.* Would you help me Nat? I mean.. Learn about the world, relationships.. I.. *Her words came in a rush then halted.. As she looked away embarrassed by her panic and lack of experience around people..*

*Nat stiffens a little as Toshi leans against her. She`s seen people nude before. Seen her parents nude when they all used to take a comunal bath together. After all, heating in her country doesn`t come cheap. But she`d never been close to another person who was nude and wasn`t part of her immediate family. She tilts her head to the side slightly, eyes widening a little from some of the feelings she percieves through the towel and through her thin Spandex outfit. Looking down at Toshi as she asks her to help her learn about these relationships, and the world in general.. She swallows hard once, nodding as an answer before she speaks.* Da... I viill help you. Though I bee learning aaas much as yourself. I do naught know thaaat much, personally, that goes on either.. Though I can help you learn about the world. I vould even go viith you should you want to go to a mall or somthiing. Though you`d have to talk to people more thaaan me I siimply do naught understaand Americans.*Her voice never raises from a soft lilting whisper the entire time. Accidentally draping her arms over the girls shoulders to dangle alongside the outsides of her ribs. An accident, but she`d been holding her shoulders when the girl leaned back against her, and they just slipped, and probably tickled with the spandex material, all the way down.*

*She had started to move away from Nat as she talked. Her discomfort about being touched starts to assert itself. It was one thing to be scratched as a tiger. Another to be touched at all when she was human.. The only person that had ever hugged her in any way had been Pole. Nat's arms across her shoulders make her a little uncomfortable. Although she doesn't notice or realize Nat's discomfort. Smiling up at Nat she started to thank her for her help when she mentions going out to a mall. Again the panic is in her eyes.* NO! *Shaking she tries to twist away from Nat.*

*So lost was she in her thoughts about what she`d actually be teaching Toshi that she only notices the girl is attempting, rather unsuccessfully, to slip out from beneath the very loose, and accidental, hug she`s placed on her. Not realizeing what she said that`s got her so upset. She takes her arms off Toshi and backs up a few paces. Wondering what she`s done wrong, confusion marking her face. After all, hadn`t Toshi just asked her to teach her about all those things?* Changing your mind commrade? You do naught cant me to teach you the things yoou haaave aaasked for?* A very confused look etching its way to her face as she tries to understand what she`s done wrong. Her own discomfort melting away as her mind switches back to reality.*

*Again there were misunderstandings and miscommunications between the two. Still shaking Toshi shakes her head.* No.. I.. *She didn't want to tell Nat that she was afraid to leave the compound. She knew that Hunters were expected to go out to hunt.. She wanted to be a Hunter to make Pole proud. How could she tell him or anyone else that she was terrified to leave the compound. She had spent too many years in a small isolated area. Then thrown out into the world alone. It had been too much for her.. Here she had safety.. Yet all of that isolation and training by the scientist to tell them everything she felt left her unable to come up with a way not to tell.. Torn by her fears and what she felt was a personal failure she didn't know what to do.. Add to that the hurt she perceived in Nat's eyes from her actions.. Tear coming to her eyes she slips down to the ground sitting on her clothes as she wraps her arms around her legs.* I'm sorry Nat..

*She raises one of her gloved hands to her lips for a moment as Toshi lowers herself to the ground and huddles up into her small little ball. Biting the inside of her bottom lips to think about what`s going on. She simply didn`t understand any of what`s happening.. slowly she walks over to where Toshi`s sitting, reaching a hand out to caress the back of her head, but stopping short. Everytime she touched someone, it semed to bring hurt on them somehow. Either physically, or emotionally. That`s the one thing that can hurt Nat, emotions. Because she has no feelings of pain, and very few feelings of pleasure as well, her emotions work to compensate for the losses. Neither wanting to hurt others, or have hers hurt, emotions. Pursing her lips together and drawing her hand away she grasps the tips of her fingers where the gloves are. Pulling one of the spandex gloves slowly off her hand and letting it fall to the ground. All the doctors knew she couldn`t feel pain, but they`d never actually asked her about anything else. It`s in her file that she doesn`t feel pain like others but nothing about the other parts. She takes her now bare hand and places it as gently as she can on Toshis head. Trying to gently run her fingers through the smaller girls hair. Kneeling down rather joltedly to the gound in front of the girls curled up legs.* I caaan`t feel thiiis anymore.... Forgotten what iiit`s like. Vhat`s iit liike to you Toshi?*She`d give anything to be able to feel people again, to feel anything other than the fact that something, anything, is there. She can tell when she grasps somthing, feel the pressure against her skin, but warmth, cold, texture. It`s all lost to her.*

*She knows when Nat moves over next to her, but doesn't move or respond until Nat sits down net to her. Despite Nat's gentle touch she catches a small tangle in Toshi's hair causing her to wince slightly as she reaches up to place her hand over Nat's. Her thoughts change from her own fears to Nat.* You can't feel? *Her sense of touch was very acute.. She had to train herself though not to read everything she touched as a series of DNA codes though.* My touch is different I think from most.. I read the DNA. I know from just touching you exactly how you are made.. I could duplicate you perfectly.. Even your lack of feeling

*She looks into Toshis eyes and shakes her head.* Niet.... I caaan feel no paiin. But, I cannot feel anythiing either. The sciiientiiists. They are not iinterested iin thaat factor though. They do naught aask me about iiit.*She shrugs a little bit.* So I do not tell them.*She can`t even feel Toshis hand when it covers hers.* I can tell thaat you haand is there. But I caan`t feel it. I miiss that.. From the day my power surfaced I was destined to never know how some thiiings would feel agaain.*Listening to how Toshi explains how part of her power works, she shakes her head slowly.* But Iii vould beeg of you to never do iiit.. Iiit`s a feeling you don`t want to know about.*More because she`s slightly shamed she can't feel things, and doesn`t want anyone else to know how she really experiences such. Her hand, as Toshi covers it, is hard to the touch, always. Even on the joining of where the thumb meets index finger, said to be the tenderest bit of flesh on humans. Due to the hyperdense muscle structure of her body. Her entire form is like that, pretty much a huge fleshlike mound of steel.*

*Frowning she moves her hand from where it covers Nat's to reach out to touch her face. She could feel the density of Nat's body.. It didn't feel like anyone else's she had touched. Then again she had touched so few.* I have always been afraid to touch.. Before the bracelets were developed touching you would have forced a change.. Anything organic I came in contact with would force a change.. *She closes her eyes letting her touch read Nat's DNA. She knew she could help others heal, but she wondered if she could do more.. Everyone had always concentrated on controlling her shifting. She had never tried to change anyone's DNA and she wouldn't now.. Not on Nat.. She wondered though if she could find what stopped Nat from feeling.*

*She shivers a little as Toshis hand comes into ontact with her face. Unable to feel in more than the pressure of knowing it was there. She leans into it a little, wishing that the simple action in itself might bring back her lost faculties. She bites back on the inside of her mouth a little, glad that her sense of taste is still there. Though no blood flows into her mouth, yet one of the other facets of her power, the invulnerability. Merely pulling on the skin that others sometimes worried off with their teeth. Biting back a few tears of her own at the frustration of it all. She`d give her powers to somone else in a heartbeat if it meant she got to go back home and be with her family and friends. No one here really cared about her that much, and it affected her more deeply than it would most others. Unknowing of the thoughts that run through Toshis mind. Though through her DNA Toshi would find mothing wrong with her nervous system. Electical current is flowing through it as it should. It`s actually more of a mercy from her mind, it`s shut off her ability to feel, sort of like when a person feels too much pain they pass out. Her dense musclestructure so constricting that it pinches every nerve in her body to a point where she`d be in a constant state of screaming. So, for mercies sake, her mind had shut off the ability to feel to the best of its capability, only offering her the fact that there`s pressure against her muscles. Nerves, being as sensetive as they are, are the one thing that her DNA matrix couldn`t strengthen like it could the veins that run between the muscles. Nerves had to be sensetie, or why have them?* Never be afraid of touch commrade... Iiiit`s a feeliiing you`d be sore to lose.*She reaches up and runs her rock hard hand as gently as she can over Toshis skin, it taking a massive amount of concentration on her part to even be as gentle as she is. She looks Toshi over..* There are other changes too. I`m afraiiid for people to see me as you are now...*Meaning nude. More because of an effect the muscles have, which had only been described by a doctor, when she was on the examination table, as "Freaky".*

*She had never been so bold or free in her touch as she was now with Nat. Fascinated by the other woman she lets her hand drop as she tilts her head looking at her. She knew there was nothing wrong with Nat.. She wasn't sure what was causing the lack of sensation.. Perhaps another time she would shift to Nat and see.. That day would be a major mistake on her part.. Her mind wouldn't have the block that Nat's did.. Even the brief period of pain would overwhelm her before she reverted back to her own form unable to hold the shift because of the pain.* Pole tells me the same thing.. It's hard though.. You don't know what it's like to touch something and change whether you want to or not.. It's terrifying.. *Frowning she looks Nat over.* Why would you not want to be seen nude? You look very nice to me..
