[ That makes sense. Of course it makes sense. Like Tobias says - he's a hawk. ]

Well, I imagine a bird can be pretty distracting in a classroom. Or library.

[ If nothing else, he can play along with that, at least. ]

You prefer to remain as a hawk, I assume?

[ It sounds genuine coming from Jayce. He's seen another form when all of those things were attacking. The quadruped creature that wasn't quite a horse, but still was similar. ]

[notachickenhawk]

<I do. It's easier to just... avoid the things that are a problem when you're a hawk. It's been my 'base' form for three years now. It's just... who I am.>

[He's a predator now, whether he likes it or not. He can't deny that fact.]

[malleiform]

I understand.

[ As much as he can. ]

Then you should be a hawk for as long as you need.

[ He sighs. ]

I hope, in time, you'll feel a little better. Bit by bit. It's not as though you've had much time to process anything, right?

[notachickenhawk]

<... Right. You're right. I don't even know where to start to 'process' things, but it's... a lot. I guess... time. I need time. To find a new normal... without her.>

[He'd been without her here, but it's... it was different knowing she was waiting for him at home. Now that she's gone...]

<Sorry for uh... barging in on you.>

[malleiform]

You have to allow yourself to take time. It won't fix everything, but...it helps you do exactly as you said - find a new normal.

[ He glances around the room. ]

It's alright. My partner's not home right now. And he wouldn't be bothered anyway.

[ He thinks, at least. ]

[notachickenhawk]

<I... appreciate it. I just... I didn't know who to go to.>

[And Jayce has been good to him, so he thought maybe it... would work.]

[malleiform]

You're welcome here.

[ And he means pretty much anytime he wants. ]

It's safe here.

[notachickenhawk]

<I appreciate it.>

[He just... needs to rest. Maybe it'll be a dream... a terrible dream.]

[malleiform]

Just tell me if you need anything.

[ He knows what it means to be grieving someone you care about. His grief got swept away when he got here, but it's still there because it still happens. ]
