Jake hissed at himself as he smacked into the leg of Aaron's coffee table for the fifth time in a row, and sat his ass down on the floor with a thud. His tail lashed angrily behind him, his ears flicking angrily, and he wondered how the hell this was so damn difficult. Taronyu and Gwen and Humungosaur all made it look so easy, but here he was, tripping over his own paws like a skxawng. It was kinda like his body had been drinking non-stop for the past three days, but hadn't bothered telling his brain.

He knew it couldn't be his legs, not any more. He'd gone out running for a couple hours before dawn when the sun wasn't there to hurt his eyes (finally managing his long-awaited run on the beach after how long?) and his legs were great. Better than great, it was as if he'd never been shot. And to be fair, his back legs at the moment weren't the problem. His front legs were just all over the place.

Nothing for it but practice, practice, practice, he told himself, and stood up again. He would make it from the coffee table to the doorway without bumping into any more furniture or walking into the skirting boards. He would. Anything to keep his mind from the hunger gnawing away at him.

Aaron had been having the weirdest week. His head had been back in the game, mostly, after the last time the island fucked with him but now that Marta was a child, everything was kinda weird. He felt guilty for not being able to tell her the truth and hoped that he was being a good friend, and trying to protect her. He had popped back to the house to see if he could find any photo albums of hers from when she was a kid, that maybe there was something from her childhood that would make her feel a little bit safer and more at home.

Tossing his key on the stand by the door, he called out, "Jake?! You here?" but heard nothing back. Aaron found it weird that Jake would go out, being a vampire and everything. "Jake?" he called, wandering around the place for a moment before he gave up and went through the closet for the photo albums.

Jake's ears pricked up when he heard Aaron's voice, and he lifted his head to scent the air - at least some things were obvious in this body - but that broke his concentration for walking, so he just wound up smacking into a side table and knocking something over.

Shit.

He froze where he was, hoping he hadn't broken anything, but then something landed on his tail with a thud and he jumped which only made him bang into the table again. A pen landed on the floor this time, beside the hard-backed notebook which must have been what had landed on his tail.

	Aaron burst out laughing, having to lean against the fireplace mantle to keep from falling over. "You're a fucking cat, that's the best thing I've ever heard. Jesus fucking Christ...." he kept laughing, and shook his head in disbelief. "Fuck man, you've been turned into like 4 different species of creature now. Human, Na'vi, cat and vampire. That's ridiculous." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"And we were ponies, don't forget that," he pointed out with a grin, "And I'm gonna try for Ikran next. Gotta get as much good out of this switch as I can, y'know?" He just hoped that the healing on his spine and legs was permanent this time. "I was out running earlier," he added, his smile softening a lot as he said it, glancing down at his bare feet.

	"Jake..." Aaron took a step forwards, only it was careful and measured and distant. "You can deal with this, it's nothing compared to you." Aaron didn't move and willed his heart to stop hammering so hard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Don't!" he snapped, stepping back against the kitchen counter once more. Aaron's heartbeat was thudding loudly, and Jake was staring at his neck yet again. Only a little bit, that wouldn't hurt. Right? He licked at his lips again, unsurprised to find that his tongue brushed against a fang, before burying his face in his hands. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
