Even as Derrick though that, he picked up another pleasant and now familiar scent - a female bear in heat. It seemed that there was more than one recipient for his attentions, and he was happy to seek her out. The female in question was close by, and was both happy and cooperative. Unlike the first time, Derrick covered her smoothly, the right size to mount an adult bear. The sensations were more satisfying, and yet also more 'normal' to him. When he finished, he felt oddly complete, as if he had accomplished something important. It took another few hours of wandering before he understood the reaction as being that of a normal bear. Being a male bear seemed perfectly natural to him, though he still remembered being a boy.
He came across two more females as he wandered the forest, both ready for mating. Circe's forest apparently provided what he wanted, for normally there would not be so many receptive females in such a small area. Derrick found mating to be extremely pleasurable, but also more and more instinctive each time. By the end of the day, he could barely remember being human. He had to concentrate to think - two weeks of this might be fun, but he decided he wanted to try something else. But what? Every time he tries to think of a different form, all that came to mind was his current male bear.
