Norm stood there trying to take in his situation. Physically, he was an adult male kangaroo. There was a female in the room with him. There was no competition with other males.
His human mind mixed with the emotions and instincts of his new forms. This was an exciting situation.
However, he also felt a wave of fear. If this kangaroo or these people could do this to him, they could do anything. He coulden't speak so he seemed to be completely at their mercy. He wondered how many others of the "animals" at the zoo were really people they'd lured and transformed.
Norm heard the door behind him open. He turned to see another attendant this time a man.
"Ah," the man started with a smile. "Excellent work honey."
Norm looked at the man and back at the female kangaroo before looking back at the man.
"Yes, my new friend. I'm sure you can guess what's happening by now. Honey wanted you as a mate. You wanted to meet the kangaroos. Now you're going to. We'll let you into the habitat in a few minutes."
Norm clicked at the man. Something was wrong. Norm could understand the attendant but it was as though he had to think about what the man was saying. It reminded Norm of the lessons he took in French. He could speak the language enough to get by. However, he'd have to think about what the speaker was saying.
"Hmmm, are you still able to understand me?" the man asked. Norm nodded after concentrating on what the man had said. The man walked around Norm as though inspecting his work. "Nicely done Honey. I think he'll make an excellent addition. I have to say that if my time ever comes, I know who to ask to be my ... guide."
Norm looked at the man, who petted Norm's head. "Don't worry, I know you're confused. You'll still understand speech for the most part. English just isn't your first language anymore. You'll find that you're going to start understanding kangaroo body language and sounds far easier."
The man walked back to the door and smiled at both Norm and Honey. "Why don't you two get better acquainted?"
After the man closed the door, Norm turned back to Honey. He felt something different about her. It was somewhat primal. Was he attracted to her? The physical sensation was the same. Mentally, he felt no urge to hide it. In fact, he'd felt no embarrassment over that man seeing him naked. His human intelligence was still intact it seemed. The instinct did strange things to him. He wanted to pounce on her and found it hard to hold back.
There was also anger, they'd entrapped him. He still knew what that meant but it was different somehow. He focused more on the feeling it gave him. The word felt like something humans used that he knew. The kangaroo equivalent was now a lot easier for him to use.
Yet, he also felt a sense of release. He wanted to explore the habitat. He also wanted to explore Honey. There was no fear over thinking that. Norm wondered if he'd become a pervert. Although, Norm wondered, that was a word humans used to describe someone who was perhaps a little more willing to explore their sexual side that perhaps wasen't shy about turning something non sexual into something sexual. Perhaps it was wrong for a human to be that way, but for a kangaroo, it wasen't.
Perhaps, this woulden't be such a bad thing.
