I...have a question for the passengers of this...boat. [She still has trouble with her English and it's heavily accented, but she's trying, at least.]
Are there any of you that can...take the shape of a beast at will? If so...what sort of creature can you become?
And ah...how do you control it?

Is that a common ability or is that the answer you're seeking?

I was...just wondering. [Avoid the question, that's just...best.]
Is it something you can do?

Unfortunately, It is not something that can be controlled easily.

I am simply curious. There are many from my home that can...mmm, shift, I think is how you say?

Ah, I see. Do you know of anyone...who can?

[She clears her throat a moment before speaking hesitantly.]
I can, though I don't think it works the same way for everyone.

How...does it work for you then, Miss?

You're a shifter too, yeah? That's why you're asking?

[She pauses, thinking.]
Is it...triggered by emotions or anything of the sort?
[Anna isn't sure if she should confirm that or not. She still isn't sure if she's safe.]
I was...curious.

I may know a bit about shapeshifters.
*Mostly how to kill them...but that's not important right now*

Shapeshifting? I can't say I know much about that, but you say it's common in your world?

They are not all shapeshifters.

[well, that fairly well convinces Don that he knows what she's hiding]
What others are there? That is, of course, if you don't mind the question.

[Now that she thinks about it, it's really rather obvious. She could kick herself for posting this.]
The...first one was spotted in 2025 by the general public. A young boy, around..hmm...maybe eleven or twelve was found running through the streets of New Atlanta. [She hesitates - she's looking over her shoulder. All of this conversation, she almost expects to be hauled away.]
His hands were clenched into fists that were blue with liquid fire. It...caused a mass panic.
These...'abilities' range from pyrotechnics, to telekinesis and metalbending and shapeshifting. There are more, of course, invisibility...things that are supposed to be in movies, yes? But they were real.
