"Gathering. It's important that forage for food on your own, it's healthy and it's engrave on your DNA, you'll feel so much happy if you search for your food than if you have to wait to be given. Although it also means you have to adapt to some flavors for the sake of a nutritious meal. C'mon I'll show you, meanwhile try walking on all fours, like this." she went on all fours and show me how to arch my back so my soles and my knuckles touched the ground. It felt so... natural, although I had to get used to it, my hands and feet were still too tender to follow her pace, and I couldn't well run yet like this.
Luckily we didn't travel much and she showed me a bush with. "See these you can eat, and you should also eat the leaves for fiber, in fact you'll learn that you are quite the vegetarian, although not really an herbivore so don't worry."
"Yeah..." I said tasting the berry it was a bit sweet and acid, but I liked, the leaves were bitter but I ended up liking munching them. However I was curious on how the Doctor could do such things. "So Doctor, you did this for a few months?"
"Yes, so believe I know how difficult is to transition."
"But, that's hardly fair. You are wearing that while I'm-"
"Oh Simon, I thought we were over that, specially since the show you gave me." It was true though, I haven't thought about me being naked in a while, I even hanged upside-down. "But so that you know, I didn't wore this during that time. I'm not really worried about my own nudity since then, or before actually, if you haven't already noticed. And before you ask, no, I'm not going to strip again, and that's not me being hypocrite is to help you understand that you are not human."
"No offense doc, but not many humans move like you do. Are you sure you aren't a hybrid." I said half-jokingly.
"Humour. You won't need it anymore, but I suppose there's hardly something I can do about it, without torture, which let me assure you we won't. Somethings may seem uncomfortable, but not really dangerous I hope you understand... and yeah I'm a hybrid."
"Oh ok... WHAT?"
"Yeah, I am. One of the firsts actually 10% Chimpanzee, that's how I knew about this place that you can guess is top secret."
"But then how come I have to be an animal?"
"You are a gorilla, the DNA test doesn't lie. You certainly doesn't look like a regular human, I on the other hand have dedicated my life to help the poor creatures that this project created, so if I'm human and you are a gorilla, that's how it is. Like I say you have to learn how to accept this fact."
