Lets pretend I didn't read the original plot

Beast Business 3.3

Rayne

As I space out while staring at Lee's face, I contemplate what happened now. If they where the group that was originally meant to adopt me then I was going to have a slight problem since the original adoption seemed to be a matter of sympathy and them having just seen me tying a lion up like I was rolling sushi was not exactly sympathy inducing. That being said, even if I could I likely wouldn't have made a different choice if I had known this was coming.

"Well, if you aren't coming down then I guess I will come up." Lee's new voice was also really nice smooth with a hint of caramel like caramilk chocolate hidden in rich dark chocolate. And his eyes where a really nice mint green. Though when they appear right in front of my nose, they are a bit to close. Jerking back from the way to handsome face right in front of mine I over balance and begin to tumble of the roof. Instinctively my body initiates my shift.

My clothes fall to ground bellow as I spread my arms out and allow my wingskins to catch the air. Swooping across the top of the lion I turn to the left intending to settle on the branch of the pine tree across the yard. Man, this is weird it's a good things any nerves of heights where well and truly killed. Finishing my turn, I suddenly scrabble in the air at the sudden decrease in space as a black chest suddenly blocked my way. Disadvantage found, no breaks. Squeezing my eyes shut I brace as I careen into the firm chest. There is a slight rock in the person as they step one foot back to dissipate the impact even as strong arms wrap around me.

"let's be careful not to do that again hmm," Lee murmurs as he carefully cradles me against his chest. I forcefully pull my arms back so as to keep my small but sharp claws away from his nice clothes and then blink up at him. Must not get distracted by his face, must not get distracted by his face. Must not but it really is very nice to look at. No. Forcefully shaking my head I wriggle a bit to tell him to put me down. I should change back. Even though I would need to go get my clothes after we were all men here the bits and pieces where all the same. Actually huh? Where is Adrianna? And Kai....

MY second thought was abruptly answered when Lee a refused to let me down and b jerked his chin at one of his men who swiftly went and picked up my clothes before nodding politely in our direction.

Entity known as Kain identified activating support character options.

Activating what now? Was there such a feature cause I'm sure it wasn't mentioned before. Or is this a feature of the update? No wait more importantly what is the feature? and whoa whoa, too close too close.

I bend backwards over Lees arm to pull my face away from where Lee had abruptly leaned in.

"Now I wonder where your thoughts had wondered off to. You will need to be careful of that habit anything can happen while your being absentminded." Lee smiles gently as he speaks. Shifting his head back and changing his grip to pull my body up straight in his arms.

A shiver works its way up mine spine. It was clearly a very nice smile but why do I fell like it bodes me no good. Note to self, carefully avoid talking to the system when in Lee's presence. Also find out Lee's name in this world.

Lee smiles even more gently before glancing at the lion and then at Kain. "Be sure to retrieve his thread, no point in leaving any of his things in this... place." Lee then starts walking back towards the group of suited men. I then notice that standing to the side of them is the home director who was anxiously wringing his hands.

"Shall I arrange for him to be cleaned up young master?" the director asks gesturing to me and then flinching when Lee's eyes focus on him.

"No thank you, I believe we can handle it. If you will show me to his room." Kain says as he materialises next to us both my clothes which were indecently still wet, and my silver thread folded and coiled neatly in his arms. After glancing at Lee, Kain then changes his request. "In fact, how about you go and address the adoption papers and we will take care of the packing I'm quite sure that the boy will know where his room is."

I glance at the still gentle smile on Lee's face and then increasing indication of nerves from the suited men and nod quickly. It felt like there was a grim reaper sharpening his scythe behind that smile and I didn't think it would be good to see if it could cut when swung. Raising a hand, I point to the attic window. Since I was a smile semi arial shifter I had been given the small room in the attic to sleep in. The predatory shifters acted like it was some sort of punishment but I as well as the original were content to have a solo room, with easy access out for me and no real easy access in for them. Not to mention it was very peaceful since all the insultation for temperature in the lower parts of the building made for excellent sound insulation up there.

"Kain, you come with me the rest of you arrange the things out here and the paperwork." Lee speaks as he then strides into the building leaving the director slightly shivering as the men close in around him and move to do something in the back yard.

"Young Master Lee, are you intending to take him out of here in Beast form? As I believe it is necessary legally speaking for him to sign the adoption papers. This is a Beastskin integration facility which encourages human integration but is not an orphanage where they can just be adopted at will." Kain speaks softly as we go up the stairs. It was both a novel and a bit embarrassing suddenly feel like a baby. Huh, seems like their names are the same as the first world here wonder why? Actually, now that I think about it, I remember holding young children when my cousins had kids and they got quite heavy after a while. Though I suppose as a semi areal shifter I must have lighter bones. Hmmm, still it should have at least some reaction carrying me around so much particularly upstairs.

"Hmm, I suppose while I don't normally care for legal or not but in this, I think I wont it to be rock solid." As Lee speaks, we reach the door to my room which is not big enough for either of the men to fit through without crouching. Really only big enough for a child or a vertically challenged young man like myself. I was a little miffed a bit so short in this life, literally only about 140cm tall was more than 30 cm shorter than normal when compared to reality and my last two rounds. Lee carefully settles me on one arm before opening the door and then setting me down on the floor inside. "you go change and get dressed. We will wait outside and then help you pack." Just as gently he then closes the door. Was it really necessary to wait all this time and then shut me in before I shifted. I was sure that I fell into the fast shifting category so its not like the process was grotesque to look at. Seriously what was up with the precautions.
