Character(s): Axel, Kadaj.
Content: Axel and Kadaj... turn into animals!
Setting: Savage Garden.
Time: Thursday afternoon.
Warnings: ...knowing them? Who KNOWS what.

After Axel had completed Kadaj's "transition" they had spent quite some hours just talking, with Kadaj's body held close to his. Axel greeted the comfort of someone else with enthusiasm; it was a missed comfort of having someone fawn over him in that means. He'd told him about the Organization, their mission... but he hadn't mentioned to Kadaj that he had not originally been a Nobody. Of course not.

But all things must come to an end. It had happened abruptly; Axel felt their bodies shifting slightly, when he hadn't been aware he had chosen to move. He looked down at Kadaj and his eyes had widened as large as saucers, and instinctively he jerked backward, the fur bristling on the back of his neck.

Wait, what?

Never mind Kadaj, Axel looked down at his form and let his jaw hang open in surprise, letting out a surprised yelp. He wasn't human anymore! What was this?! He didn't understand it at all, how could this be happening...? Animals had been disabled in Paixao... and he hadn't even been one in the first place!

Axel made note of the long stretches of black and red fur up and down his legs, felt the way his hackles raised tensely on his back. He looked over his shoulder and behind him, narrowing his eyes on the tail idly swaying back and forth from his behind, and down at his long... very long back legs. His pants, which had previously been worn on his hips, were on the ground beneath him, as well as his shoes. The redhead looked ahead again, and focused on Kadaj – who seemed to be having a similar problem.

"Well I'll be damned. Something fucked up."

The growling was making Kadaj a little nervous, and even after Axel had stopped he was a little reluctant to get close to him. He half-heartedly scratched at his neck again, staring off at nothing for a moment, before sighing softly and padding over to his side, nudging his head against him slightly.

"The two of us should be able to handle it, right?" he asked, starting to groom him again. He slowly licked away the droplets of water still clinging to Axel's fur, unable to stop his purr. It was harder to be intimidated by him when he was acting so... pathetic, almost, or maybe that was just the cat talking. Either way, Kadaj nudged him slightly again, trying to get him to move. "We just have to track him down and kill him. Come on. He's just an animal after all."

... Well, so were they, at the moment. It was still true, though.

Axel seemed unresponsive, lost in thought. He listened to Kadaj speak but it was not apparent if the words actually registered with him. He allowed Kadaj to lick him still, also, but there was no sign of a reaction until he suddenly sat up after a few long moments of silence. His body was still tense, fur pricked on his back.

"We'll see," he said quietly, standing up on all fours. The cat had no idea how much Axel just wanted to stay in this cave and curl up and be licked and hear him purr, like they really were just a pair of animals, like they had no troubles at all - but he had a job to do.

Taking a breath, the maned wolf began to head deeper into darkness of the cave - though not before pausing to give Kadaj a glance over, and then lean in to give a short nip and lick at the corner of his muzzle. He didn't want him to feel ignored, after all.
