Three way mutual sniff!

Friendlies?? He guesses. So the sniffs suggest. He doesn't investigate very long, quickly distracted by a gnawing hunger growing in his belly. He huffs, turning to sniff for possible food sources instead. 

Joey changes to human. “You hungry?”

That gets him this small wolf's attention. Yes, yes he is hungry.

Tabby reverts too. “Hungry buddy?”

His attention turns to her at the shift and the words. 

...What, do they want him to bark or something? He's not barking. 

His tummy growls. He looks down at it, betrayed.

Luckily, the air is filled with tasty scents. In every house, in fact.

Oh good. He will select one and hare off in that direction. 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch the apartment, Alex is going through his own change. It looks quite grotesque from the outside, his body writhing and snapping in ways bodies usually don't without outside interference. 

Angel watches antsily, tense from his whimpering and cut-off screams. (He can't fight this at all, and she doesn't like that. Even if he's hurting, he's always supposed to be able to fight.)

"Why does it hurt to turn into a wolf?" She asks Zeke, "It didn't hurt for me."

"It's how it is," Zeke explains. "Rat-kings get super sick before they change."

"Rat-kings?" She's partly distracted from her brother's chage by this line of thought, "I guess if there's two kinds of people besides humans there should be more," she muses, "What else is there?" 

"Um, mermaids, mermen, unicorns, dragons, fairies, bird-folk, selkies..."

"Wow! That's so many!" She wants to meet all of them. Dragons!!

“Maybe Lilith will make more.”

"Lilith's an actual person? You said you were a Child of Lilith before you turned me but..." didn't really explain what that meant. 

“First and best woman!”

"Cool! So all the kinds of people you mentioned are her children, too? And humans aren't." 

"Yeah! Humans are Adam's children with stupid Eve!"

"That's a church story," she notes. "I didn't know those were true. I thought it was just-"  

Her words are cut off by a crunch, and a scream which can't be supressed, which turns into a howl half-way through. Angel turns her attention back to her brother at the sound, scrambling up to her hands and knees to get a better look.

There's a small black wolf where Alex was. He's breathing hard and still whimpering a bit from the fading pain, his snout pressed between his paws and eyes tightly closed. 

One ear twitches as she moves, and he lifts his head just a bit and... stares at her, transfixed.

"Hi 'lex," she whispers, creeping closer. She looks his new form over closely...

"...You make a cute puppy," she informs him, giggling. 

"Ooh, black. Neat."

His head whips around so he can stare at Zeke when he talks, making a small angry-confused growling noise.

"This's Zeke," Angel introduces him, shuffling even closer. "He's great! He turned me into a vampire and then helped me find you. I thought you'd like being a werewolf better, though?"
