She then let go of the wing, slowly both wings went back smaller and smaller sticking into her back. She smiled widely, "so now I'm a myth. how quaint," she laughed lightly, "discreet more like it..." she explained, "due to our little numbers...many of my kind remain in hiding or their animal form." she explained, "I haven't met anyone..in...quite a time," she added. She wanted to say about thirty-three years, but left that unimportant detail to herself. She amongst her kind liked to be in her human form, remaining in one form too long changed the person.<br/>If any creature remained in their animal form too long, they would acquire the wild habit of the creatures, and she was not ready -under any circumstances- to eat snakes and frogs. -eek.<br/><br/>she brought her hair to one side playing with the golden strands, "many of us stay in our phased form for protection.." she added and glanced at him. "I haven't spoken to anyone in a while." she admitted, "I'll be a little more talkative than I wish." she said smiling sheepishly.
