[ Alice is a little grateful to be human again. Sure, being a rabbit was an.. interesting experience, but it wasn't as convenient as just being able to walk around as a human.
... She spots someone dressed rather oddly though as she's walking around outside, and she can't help but glance over curiously. ]
[ She'll probably realise it sooner or later, right now it's just.. a little surprising. Just a little, she's used to seeing weirder things. But all the same.. ]
A.. cat? [ ... Wait. Right. Last time she was turned into an animal, so maybe animals now were.. ]
Don't tell me.. You're the cat who usually wanders around here?
[When Yomiel came back from looking around in spirit form, he was confused. There was no cat and one fewer sheet - well, who cares about the sheet. He heads out, not being able to see him in the house, and goes to look for Sissel.]
[Sissel's head whips around when he hears Yomiel calling his name. Unfortunately, somehow this causes him to fail coordination aaaaaand he flops to the ground unceremoniously, becoming a pile of sheet and small human.]
[Maybe it's because the boy has dark hair like he does himself, or maybe it's just because he's grown more trusting and outwardly kind during his stay, but Asato sees the youth and wants to help.
So he tries to step closer--one step at a time. He's human now, which at first filled him with a sense of awe. But then he realized that humans were everywhere here, and he hadn't died or been enlightened, just transformed, like the first time.
His gait is a little stilted. Without a tail to help him counterbalance, it's nearly impossible to walk fluidly. But he tries.]
You're not cold?
[He puts his hand on the same wall as Sissel--seems they're having the same sort of trouble.]
[He nods as if he understands, and really, he does. He's without fur in several places now, too. His new ears are...weird. They have no fur on them, they're in the wrong place, and they're pink from the cold.]
You'll get sick if you don't stay warm...
[Knowing that the boy had fur once makes him even more sympathetic. What if he got the same treatment he did for having dark fur? Blackears need to stick together. There's safety in numbers.
He shrugs off his own cloak and places it over the boy.]
[He blinks and looks up at the stranger. ... His face is doing the funny smiley thing again!]
Thank you. [A pause as he mulls over something. The smiley thing is happening again.] It'll be nice to talk to people for a change instead of just watching them.
[Raf's very glad to be a human again, and finding clothing had been done easily enough. He'd then rapidly eaten some food, finding even the unexpected flavors to human taste-buds than to fox ones. And here's a person he hadn't seen before.]

Are you.. alright?

"Oh, right, humans speak, don't they?"
Well, here we go. We've done this before, even if the circumstances were just a little different, and--]
I'm...supposed...to be....a cat.
[It's halting and quiet, but the words are clear. Hi, Alice. It's the cat you keep running into.]

And...you're the girl I keep running into. ... My name's Sissel.

...It's cold out, you know.

I guess. It doesn't bother me that much.

Sissel? Hey, Sissel! Where did you go?

Ah---!
[Well, this is embarrassing.]

[Oh. Oh shit. He runs over to Sissel and... dammit, this is so awkward. He picks him up and shifts him in his arms.]
This is going to be a problem, isn't it?

... Yep, tiny derp.] Walking on two legs is strange. Hello, Yomiel.

Yes, I am. It's very cold without fur. That's why I have the sheet.
[He's very calm about having committed Grand Theft Bedsheet.]

Can I help you?

Oh, you're one of the people I've met, aren't you. I'm all right. I think. It's very strange to be human all of a sudden, though.

Personally, I much prefer being human to not. Oppose-able thumbs are highly convenient.

Thumbs? [Now he just looks confused.]
