Not long into Mr Goodwill confirming everything with the Aunt and Niece, Ayana simply jumped off the counter and started towards these doors towards the back. “Looks like Ayana is getting impatient” Mr Goodwill remarked as he moved away from the counter. “Can you really blame her depending on things?” Haru questioned as the three followed Ayana to the door which Mr Goodwill instead opened without Tania or Haru complaining to a field outside housing the actual animals in sections often divided by fences with Ayana simply running towards this cabin right in the middle and waited for the three to catch up. “You really want to get this over with huh?” Tania inquired as she crouched down to talk with the waiting Ayana while Mr Goodwill opened the door to the cabin for them to enter.
If not for the vast collection of hanging masks resembling the many different breeds of animals littering the walls if not stuffed into the chests underneath the only things of note about the inside was a workspace setup clearly to make more masks and to circles containing mystic-like runes, one somewhat bigger than the others but a single line linking the pair, within the very centre of the building. “You did bring some clothes I hope” Mr Goodwill then asked Haru. “Indeed, even if Ayana refutes” Haru assured while holding this bag out. “Which considering things is highly likely” Tania assured while she got seated on the workspace chair. “Just remember Tania to be careful around the tools” Mr Goodwill insisted firmly while he walked into the centre of the smaller circle with Ayana following his lead into the bigger one and, Taina and Haru merely watching as Mr Goodwill then started making interesting hand gestures and chanting words of some made-up or officially forgotten language…
…but as he chanted Ayana suddenly started undergoing a metamorphosis as she started expanding in height, her fur and tail receded into her body while long black hair appeared atop her head, her front paws shifted into humans hands with her back paws turning into feet. By the time Mr Goodwill stopped instead of a Asian Shaded cat a female human wearing a mask themed on the cat that used to be seated in the circle was crouching, “Welcome back to humanity sis” Haru then aid as the woman in the circle stood up and removed the mask to reveal a face resembling a cross between Tania and Haru while Haru handed her a bathrobe. “You know it’s only for a few minutes Haru” the women insisted as she put the bathrobe on while walking out of the circle. “We know mum but it’s a good thing” Tania assured as she walked up to the woman and hugged her. “*sigh* I have missed this as have I in talking Tania” the woman kindly agreed.
“Besides I do these reviews for temps to assure the magic isn’t overtaking them into twisting their decisions towards becoming permanent. Especially in cases like this” Mr Goodwill then stated “So I have to ask you girls. What progress has been made on that guilty fugitive… Leon was it…Liam….Lorcan…?”. “Lance Cornwell… non-corrupt half of those investigation police that took mum’s case recently followed his trail to New Zealand last week” Tania bitterly answered “Trick beyond containing him is getting extradition”. “Well your side Ayana I need not ask as it’s occasionally in the news” Mr Goodwill then said to the woman. “Some though do take interest in witnessing Tania call her new cat the same name as her mother” Ayana assured “Still we were lucky Tania’s teacher told us about this place in the end even if unbelievable at first”. “Well Miss Gordon was almost as surprised when I made her a pony for her niece’s birthday all them years ago” Mr Goodwill kindly chuckled “That said but changing subjects how have you been around male cats?”, “I recall your warning as your checkup showed” Ayana answered, “How have you found being a cat?” Mr Goodwill then asked, “Actually very relaxing… not that I want to be one forever” Ayana answered, “And that actually answered my next question so I’ll skip to the fourth… about resuming being a cat-”, “I have mixed feelings but as stated during the original visit I have to resume” Ayana sadly interrupted. “I see” Mr Goodwill accepted.
“You sure mum?” Tania then asked. “I’m sorry Tania but until that Lance Cornwell is caught there are still a number of his cop friends trying to assure he walks by locking me up” Ayana apologised while leaning down to talk directly with Tania while placing her hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “I know that mum… it’s just…” Tania tried to explain. “something to want to say Tania?” Mr Goodwill then asked while Haru looked on in uncertainty:
