[It takes a moment or three before Andred manages to get the communicator working the way he wants it to. Despite being used to a wide variety of physical changes thanks to the Barge, paws are still not really ideal for using a communicator.]

I'd like this better if we were still ourselves.

[It's mostly complaining for the sake of complaining. But the fact that he's actually initiating something like a conversation is still a start.]

Me, too. The food's great, but the whole woodland creature thing stinks.

Yes, exactly. I can understand wanting to blend in, but did we have to be stuck as things that have four legs?

Well, I don't think there's other things here. Unless you count birds.

At least that's closer to being normal.

[Still weird, sure. But at least mostly bipedal.]

And you could fly.

Assuming the transformation actually goes that far.

[Because he's not going to actually trust the Admiral that much.]

Ok, true. It may just look like we have whatever appearance we have. I have no clue how it works.

I'm sure the Admiral does. It's just that he's not going to tell us.

Of course he's not. Unless we make him.

Yes, because that's going to be particularly easy.

[Given that there's no real way to physically confront him, and Andred doesn't trust him to give an honest answer, either.

Of course it's not easy. But maybe we should try and do it?

[Says the adorable woodland creature.]

Did you have any ideas on how?

...No.

[He sounds grumpy. Way to bring logic into this!]

[There's a pause and then:]

I don't either.

So... what should we do?

Now, or longer term?

Why don't we start with now, and then move on to long term.

Wait until the Barge leaves again, I guess?

Yeah, that's probably all we can do while we're in port. Hang out, enjoy ourselves. Try not to panic.

As much as we can enjoy ourselves, like this.

Yeah, it's not the easiest thing to do. But panic gets boring after a while.

Don't most things?

[Or at least, most things like panic, anyway.]

Yeah, most things do after a while. But panic does faster than most, I think.

It would make sense?

[It’s just not something he has a lot of practice with.]
