CHULANE
Ain't got time to let them darken my day
They weren't too dissimilar, the lynx and the leopard, each designed for different environments, though each also adaptable to whichever environment they happen to be in. While he fur called to jungles and treetops, he had found the thick undercoat of winter fluff quite useful against the cold - and sufficient to let him travel through the snowy drifts that built up on the streets when Deepfrost didn't turn the entire region into a flash freezer.
The lynx was somewhat bulkier than he, paws broader, more naturally suited for travelling over the snow, though he made do when needed. A common trait he observed in other shifts was the length of their tail, and his own twitched and swung behind him as he let the other observe and consider.
'Gathering everyone together has its advantages and disadvantages. Allows us to pool resources, to ensure everyone has access to healing and medicine if they need it, offers a bit more space than a single household might for one to stretch their legs.' He does as he says, mimicking Noah as he leaned down low into a stretch that had his muscles ripping up along the large splotches that decorated his back. His paws flexed and stretched as well, before he was standing upright again, hearing Noah's tale of discovery and wonder.
'Mmm, different perspectives, yes? I imagine this shift calls to the hunter within you.' It was something he could admittedly use more practice in himself - he could slaughter an animal humanely, being a veterinarian, but just as he was unpractised in physical defensive and offensive motions, he was lacking when it came to being able to hunt. 'Come Flowerbirth, perhaps you could show me some tricks?' He let the hope transmit itself across the bond as well, let it grow and exist for the other to recognise and feel.

So light the fireworks, Sing like no one's heard
