Muscles moved in shoulders not hers, hard-calloused paws hit dirt and rocks, solid but muted. Night breeze through fur, like extra skin. Nice. Faint and far away. Shay's presence slipped into her field-of-thought again, urging her forward, and Jackie concentrated, pushing further into the sensation. She opened her eyes a little, and blurrishly vertical strips resolved themselves into trees. She smelled forest, and warm humidity, and a rabbit; the dog was on the trail. It was hungry.

For a moment, she even felt Shay in the same body, lightly under the dog's skin, the vague sensation of familiar-humanshape-canineshape filtered through her and the animal's senses. Packmate. The dog paused and wagged its tail a little, sniffing the air with confusion. Amusement, coming from Shay.

This is freaky, said Jackie. Shay sent a bit of affirmation in response.

You'll get used to it.

Oh, this is quite neat. I love the descriptions of sense in this. It's wonderful.

[greenling]

Thank you!

[bookblather]

Oooh. Are they sharing a body? That's really cool! The descriptions are really awesome.

[greenling]

Sort of, yeah. I wanted to do something with "traditional" shapeshifting, projecting into/taking control of an animal. Shay is showing Jackie how to do that. :3 Thanks for reading!

[novel_machinist]

Oh this -is- really cool. I like this whole idea of shape shifting and how you mentioned the fur.

[greenling]

Thank you!

[kay_brooke]

Shapeshifting is so fascinating and I love how you described it here!

[greenling]

Thank you, I think so too. :D

[shipwreck_light]

But it's so deliciously tactile to read, freaky for not!

[greenling]

I'm glad you like it, thank you!
