Water laps at the stallion's cloven toes as he stares contentedly out across the endless expanse of blue water and white waves. Somewhere overhead the strange thing that has connected to his soul is flying and it is chittering and squawking endlessly. The stallion's ears twitch and rotate, ever following the sounds the creature is making and when it is silent he looks for it because it is rare that it is quiet. Vlasi, as he has come to call it because he figures it needs a name, has landed on the beach several feet away, its webbed feet splayed to support a weight that it is unaccustomed to. The young stallion tilts his head as the bird extends its neck and opens its cavernous mouth and squawks loudly. He can feel in his own stomach that the creature is hungry and he frowns. "Eat." he tells it and it squawks at him again, flaps its wings and is airborne again.

He turns his head and watches again as the bird creature flies around and performs a series of aerial acrobatics that almost seem impossible for a bird that isn't exactly aerodynamic. Vlasi swoops low over the water, mouth open, and scoops some of the briny water into its mouth, circles back and dumps the water on Vadim as it passes. The stallion's ears tilt back against his head and he snorts and tosses his wet mane from one side of his muscled neck to the other. Overhead the bird sounds like it is cackling at its antics and the sounds change drastically as its shape changes quiet suddenly from the body of a pelican to that of a seagull.

"I thought you were hungry?" He questions the bird and only receives a squawk in answer. Whatever the birds answer to Vadim's criticism was, the bird punctuates it by diving headlong into the water. The young stallion stares and waits for the bird to resurface and when it does it has a fish in its mouth that it gobbles down hungrily. He can feel Vlasi's smugness as she takes to the air again and it makes him sigh and shake his head.

open for anyone, excuse the unoriginal title.

vlasi started off the thread as a brown pelican and shapeshifted partway through into a common seagull. according to the handbook the rougarou's shapes change until two seasons of age when the permanent forms take root.
