No, Daine says. Another group dream, then? Seems too soon - and too empty - for one of those. If everyone was here, surely she would have run into more than one other person by now.
She drops her head a little at the woman's questions, ears swiveling incredulously. Well, yes, she replies, each word separate and distinct. It's been a long time since she's had any confusion about what shape she's in, and she doesn't much like being reminded of when it wasn't so clear. I'm a wolf on purpose. And all wolves can talk, it's just that most folk can't understand them.
But for the moment, the shape has lost a little of its charm. And she doesn't want to scare this person, who seems as lost as she is. Hang on, Daine says, and a moment later, she's back in her human shape. "I'm Daine," she says, lifting a hand in a sheepish little wave. "This is my normal shape."
