Just watch where you're going next time.

[He can't help but be reminded of someone else he met after they stumbled into him. This place is full of klutzes, isn't it...]

[This kind of response is familiar to Jeb, too...]

I was watching where I was going... or at least, I was trying to. [He stands, dusting himself--Tori's body--off.] It's just hard to keep my balance right now. I'm really sorry! I should really try to act more like her...

[That last part is more aimed toward himself than anything else.]

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

More like who?

[You can't just mumble something like that and leave it hanging there.]

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

[He looks directly at the stranger (or at least, what he perceives to be a stranger) before answering.]

Um... well, this isn't my body. It belongs to my girlfriend, and... [She deserves to be portrayed better. He wouldn't reveal this so casually--not normally, anyway--but not only does he not have much choice, but by this point he knows a lot of weird stuff is happening right now. Another enclosure-wide experiment...]

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

You too, huh?

[...But realizing what that sounds like, he hastily amends while gesturing to himself (and blushing like a total dweeb):] I mean, this isn't my girlfriend, just, uh, a girl I know, but...

[Here, he remembers to take a breath.]

This week has been freakin' weird.

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

I guess you understand, then. My center of balance is worse than usual. Not to mention that my girlfriend is way more confident than I am. I feel like I'm putting her to shame, being like me. [He laughs, but it sounds melancholy. He knows Tori wouldn't think that, but... he can't help it.] Then the girl you know... she's a good friend?

[A small pause.]

Yes, I would say this week had been really strange. It's been strange for a few weeks at my place anyway, but now the whole town is all over the place. It's happened before, but...

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

Yeah, we're friends. [And they've...kissed before. That one time. But he tries not to dwell on that too much, so let's move on...]

Anyway, just because you look like your girlfriend right now doesn't mean you have to act like her too. Who's gonna care?

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

...I'm just making her look bad. [Not something he'd usually admit out in the open, but Jeb is more than a little emotionally messed up right now. That means his self-esteem issues are harder to hide.] I already don't know what she sees in me--

[Still, he's able to catch himself before getting too heavily into it.]

Sorry, I shouldn't talk like that with a stranger, should I? [Still, there's something with the way this girl talks...]

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

[Woah, woah, hold up on the pity party for just a second.]

What's your name? It's hard to tell who anyone is with all this shit going on. [He shifts his stance, crossing his arms over his soft, squishy chest.] I'm Jean.

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

[Jeb doesn't care enough about himself to want pity, who are you kidding...

But that's not important right now, is it?]

Jean?! [Blurted out without even thinking.] I-I mean, ah...

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

Yeah, and who are you?

[Raising his eyebrow at you.]

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

Jeb Parmalee.

[No point in lying, because he's a bad liar anyway...]

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

...Wait, seriously? [The short, mousy kid?] This is your girlfriend?!

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

...w-what does that mean? [Sounding flustered more than anything else, which again sounds strange coming out of Tori's mouth.] I wouldn't lie about it...!

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

I just mean she's, uh, really pretty. [What the hell, man?!]

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

O-Oh! Yes. Um... [Looking away from Jean because. Uh. Awkward.] She really is, isn't she? ...ah, your friend is pretty too.

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

Yeah, I guess she is... [Haha. Ha. Wow, this got really awkward. He shakes his head.]

Where were you trying to go? [He says "trying" because knowing Jeb, he had to have been tripping all over the place.]

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

[Hard not to trip when your balance is suddenly all wonky...]

I decided I needed to go clothes shopping. Because, um... [He gestures to his current clothing choice.] Tori's taller than me.

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

[He gives an understanding nod.] Right, been there.

[But just "taller", huh? Whatever you say.]

Can't help you there [because he's not going through that awkward ordeal again, thank you very much], but if you wanna hang out when you're done...I'll probably still be in the stables. [He hooks a thumb in the general direction of his destination.]

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

[The bust thing is actually not that much of a problem--Jeb's shirts and hoodies tend to hang loose on him, so they either fit perfectly or are just slightly snug on Tori's frame.

Really, the only other thing that's making his own clothes difficult, aside from her height, are her hips.]

Oh, it's all right! I wouldn't want to trouble you, anyway--I mean, I don't think I have to discuss how awkward clothes shopping is right now. But yes, I'd love to hang out when I'm done! I'll meet you at the stables. [Oops, Jean. Now you actually have to make good on your offer...!] It shouldn't take me too long--this isn't the first time this has happened to me... [And it is so odd to admit that.]

[April 16th - action]

[jeananigans]

[If he didn't want to hang out with Jeb, he wouldn't have offered. As it is, he has a lot more free time on his hands than he's used to - training while he's in the wrong body could be pointless at best, dangerous at worst, and school is on hiatus until all this craziness blows over.]

Good luck with that. I'll see you in a little while, then.

[April 16th - action]

[sketchingideals]

Thanks, Jean! See you in a little while!

[He'll leave quickly (or as quickly as he can), so he can get this clothing thing done as soon possible. It doesn't take him too terribly long, but he had to head back home first to put spare clothes he had bought just in case away. As a result, he hopes Jean will still be at the stables once he gets over there.

The bright pink of the hoodie he managed to grab may clash a little with the shade of teal of his wings, but he really can't bring himself to mind. The hoodie had reminded him of Tori the moment he saw it, so it he got it. He's also pretty happy that he has more baggy pants that fit his current frame now. Once he arrives at the stables, he'll look around for Jean.]
