I don't want to eat rats." No one would. Ew. "So... you can do it with me, if you want, only don't get eaten by a hawk either."

And that was the end of any hawk-eating, as far as Dot was concerned. She didn't wait for Rea to agree, but held up her phial of potion (cat fur added, of course), and she drank it down quickly. Important, on account of how it tasted. Almost immediately, she felt a weird burning, churning in her stomach, and her hands... well... they were shrinking. And growing fur! And... oh, NO it was ORANGE FUR. HOW VERY RUDE.

Before more than a few moments passed, there was one very fuzzy tabby kitten astride the swing, front legs caught on one side and back legs on the other. Dot!kitten peered around with bright eyes, silently cursing the fact she hadn't taken the potion on the ground. Now what?

From what Reagan could gather...Dot was nervous? but also excited about doing the potion's homework. Her rambling had been rather adorable, too...and the older Claw pushed her feet against the ground, angling her swing a bit closer. "I'm sure you'll be safe." Nudge, nudge. "...and..." She slipped her hand into her own pocket, slowly producing a potion vial. She'd still been on the fence about completing this particular homework, considering the ingredients. Could she consume this potion in good conscience? With boomslang skin and lacewing flies in it?

Sigh.

...and before she could give a proper answer, Dot had already drank the entirety of her potion; the transformation already beginning right before her eyes.

OooooooOOoooo!

That HAD been VERY cool!

"Dot! You're so cute, omg." Reagan was gushing, sliding off her own swing and picking the small kitten up. Giving her a quick nuzzles, as she would any animal, she set her firmly down on the ground. The jump might've been a little scary and Rea didn't want Dot to feel at all scared. It was probably disorienting enough being in a new form.

...and she WANTED to take her potion, but her moral compass said No.

"I'll just stay with you, hmm?" She took a set just across from where she'd set Ms. Dot down.
