When Arkain laid his hand on her shoulder and rubbed it gently, she felt instantly calmed. He spoke kindly to her and she felt at ease "I'm always nervous when meeting new people, except with Gil...I don't know why. Maybe the embarrassment of getting caught was bigger than my shyness and the fact that he was human helped a lot too. I'm sorry for sneaking by the way...I knew it was rude but honestly I didn't really know what to do. What do you mean with initiation? I heard Gil mention something about reforming but I didn't understand what he meant with that."<br/>She saw his tail move and glanced at her own wagging tail muttering  "See that's how a proper tail behaves! It only moves when it has to move..." She heard him ask about her name "My name's Ina and originally I'm a human that's aspiring to become a witch. Long story short. My mentors abandoned me and I accidentally changed myself in a neko...and well I tried to get rid of my tail and this happened. Thank you for the compliment and giving me permission to drink your water." She wanted to say that she wasn't sure whether she was a changeling (she supposed that to be the same as a shape shifter) or not but Gil answered before her. She felt a little indignant because of his answer.  "I'll let you know that my mother was an accomplished shape shifter. I'm not very skilled in magic, that's true, but it was decided at my birth that I was qualified to become a witch. Who knows, I might have inherited a bit of my mother's genes and be a shape shifter in the making." She felt very proud to say that. It would be wonderful if she were to be a shape shifter just like her mother had been, albeit not so talented. The downside would be that she wouldn't be allowed to become a witch anymore.
