Jarad watched in horror as his fur changed to a dark russet color, and felt his tail begin to shrink. He flipped a lengthening ear as he grew taller by several inches and his paws turned to hooves.
The change only took a few seconds, but he was definitly a deer. He looked himself over a bit before realizing with a mild start that he was actually a doe. Strangly, he--she---didn't react to that last detail much. He's been two different animals in the last few hours, becoming female didn't seem like that much of a blow.
Jared just stood in the shed for a while and sorted through what had happened. The sock hadn't changed him at all, but the deerskin had. He tried to put all the peices together, but he slowly realized that his thoughts were not coming as fast as they has as a human, or even as a dog. Perhaps the longer he spent as an animal, the more like one he became?
Jared finally did decide on one of two things, either there was a time limit on how fast he could changes, and he'd had the misfortune of simply trying it on the deerskin instead of the sock, or there was no going back. Perhaps you could only be something new.
Either was, she realized, it would be late morning before she could test that.
