Cassie followed along behind him, making sure the blanket didn't trail on the ground. She blushed at the comment on her appearance, but it faded as she had a question. "Max, what is a library? I don't think I've ever heard of one..." She would have commented that he didn't need to put a shirt on for her sake, but as he had said it was for his mother, that wouldn't have mattered. "If it's something I shouldn't know about, just tell me... I'm sure there are things I shouldn't know about..."

"That sounds good," Jason chuckled and resumed kissing along Octavius' neck and shoulder. "If you wanted to go a bit faster just tap your heels, he knows the way back so you don't have to worry about steering too much..."

Max set the boards down in their place before turning to cup Cassie's cheeks as best he could. "Hey...you can know what it is. I don't want to and don't intend to keep secrets from you, remember? A library is a place filled with books. It can be a single building or just a small room. Ours is a larger room. And you are more then welcome to use it. You probably don't know how to read, right? Never needed to? You still don't need to learn if you do not wish to. I'm more then happy to read to you if you'd like."

Octavius nodded, tapping the horse with his heels a bit harder and letting him take them home. Home...he had one now. With Jay.

Cassie's gaze flitted between his eyes as she listened, another small blush spread across her cheeks. "No, I don't know how to read... But I would love to learn, if you'd be willing to teach me... Our tribe elders would often tell us stories as pups, but other than reading our cave writings, we didn't have a need to read..."

As soon as they got there, Jason hopped off and offered Octavius a hand to help him down, not that he'd need it though.

"I had thought that was the case. Oral traditions are better anyway, in my opinion. But I also like the written word too. So that I can read when no one is around to tell the story. I would be honored to teach you. Maybe Octavius could learn with you if you guys would like," Max offered. He leaned in, kissing her softly. "You ready to head to the kitchen before the library?"

"Thank you, Jay," Octavius said, taking Jays hand and hopping off the horse. "Thank you for carrying us," he added, rubbing the horses side.

"I would really like that, and if Octavius would like to then he's welcome." Cassie smiled broadly and nodded. "I'm ready." Her smile faltered. "What about your father? What if we come upon him?" She was wondering if she should be in another shape like they had planned.

The horse nudged Octavius gently, almost as if saying you're welcome. Jason set the horse back into the stable before heading off into the house to the bedrooms so they could change. "I would think some different clothes would be a good idea for a hike, but as I promised, no shirt." He chuckled.

"I don't think we'll run into him...I think he had a meeting. He also tends to stay away from this part of the estate. He likes the masculine feel of his and my mothers wings.if we see him, would you be able to shift quick enough? Or should I distract him?" Max asked.

Octavius grinned. "Should I change too?" He asked. "No shirt but different shoes?maybe some pants."

"If we do see him, I should be able to shift in time, but to be safe, distracting him might be a good idea..." Cassie was still a bit concerned about meeting his mother. What would she think of her? What would she think once she knew that she was powered? What about the relationship between her and Max?

"Different shoes is a must, longer pants would be a wise choice as well." Jason opened the drawers and stepped aside to let Octavius pick out what he'd want.

"Sounds good," Max said, putting away the leftovers and then the blanket and basket. Taking Cassie's hand, he rubbed his thumb over her knuckles. "Would you like to take the servant halls to avoid him altogether? We'll pop out just before the library and walk in from there."

Octavius leaned in, spotting a pair of soft black cotton pants and pulled them out. Finding some boots, he picked those up as well. "I think these will work well. Soft, comfortable but practical too."

"If we just walked the main halls, I could just follow you fully shifted... Then we might be able to explain it better to your mother... I would think she'd be less frightened if she saw me become human than if she saw me shift the other way..." Cassie didn't want to hide more than she already had to.

"Perfect!" Jason reached in and pulled out some tan colored pants to wear and a second pair of boots. "I try to have an extra of shoes just in case I get a friend to go hiking or camping with me."

"If you'd like to do that, it works just as well. A good idea as well," Max agreed, smiling up at her. He paused, debating putting a hand on her back. He wanted to, so very much. But if they were going to go with her idea, he best not.

"A good plan. Makes things easier. Better to have them ready available then have to scramble to find some," Octavius agreed. "I'm going to go to my room to change, okay?"

"Max, should I half or fully shift? If I fully shift then she might be less frightened to start with, and you could explain a bit..." Cassie was over thinking the whole thing, but she wanted it to end up perfect.

"Okay, meet you in the hall after." Jason quickly changed once Octavius left and moved out into the hall to get the boots on.

Max paused to think it over. "Fully shifted. Then you can shift into a half form, perhaps fur, ears, claws but normal height? Less snout? Then into the fully human shift. I can talk her through it. So that she knows what is happening. I don't think she'll be that worried...and I think she'd really bond with you over your experiences with a miscarriage. Not that you need to bring it up right away, I just figured I'd let you know for future conversation."

Octavius changed quickly, leaving his damp clothes in the bathroom so that he didn't make a mess of the room. Then he hurried back out.

"Okay, and I'll keep that in mind." Cassie moved closer to give him a quick kiss before shifting fully, her pads landing softly on the floor, though her claws made a slight clicking sound. She sighed and nuzzled against him for a moment before she walked beside him.

Jason smiled as Octavius returned back out. "Hey, would we want to go grab the mats and figure out where we'll sleep while we wait for Max and Cassie?"

Max paused, hugging her around her neck gently as he kissed her cheek. "You'll do wonderfully. And I'm here. We got this." Standing, he set off towards the library. They would be fine. He just knew it. In a few moments, they were standing in the doorway.

"Oh! That sounds like a good idea to me. I can make the land even and soft while we sleep and return it to normal after," Octavius said, walking with Jay.

Cassie nodded and walked alongside him, her tail swaying slowly behind her. If anyone saw them they'd think Max might've gotten a new pet. When they reached the doorway she lifted her head to look up at him before gently bumping the door with her nose showing that she was ready.

"I hadn't thought of that! That's brilliant!" Jason chuckled and led the way to a small storage closet, and when opened it revealed a ton of camping things. A few tents, all folded nice and tight, and various other things one might need or want. "Now, mats..." He hummed as he moved through a few things before pulling them out. "Ah ha! Here they are."

Max opened the door, letting her in first before entering himself and closing the door behind him. With her back to them in a high backed chair, Max's mother finished her page before turning to look past the arm of her chair. "Oh! Jason! What brings you in here?" She asked, beckoning him over. Jason smiled, placing a hand on Cassie's shoulder. "I wanted you to meet someone. Someone incredibly important to me, mother. She is unusual, exotic, and absolutely wonderful. She is a shapeshifter. But she has complete control over herself. You don't need to be afraid. She would only hurt those who have hurt her."

"Need some help getting them out?" Octavius asked, intending to use his powers to float things out. "They look pretty packed in there."

Cassie had sat down to look trained. She cast a quick glance up at Jason before starting to shift back. She stood up, her head coming up to Jason's before shrinking into her usual height, her fur began to recede, and so did her snout. Soon after she completed her change and stood beside him, her hands awkwardly clasped in front of her, and her eyes on Max's mother, her fear plain to see within them. "H-hello..."

"They are a bit stuck..." Jason grunted as he tried to lift the things on top of them. "I'll have to talk to Gaelan about this... He's one of my father's servants... Not exactly a slave since he's employed, but my father has him set as one pretty much... Good man, but he really should retire..."

"Oh!" His mother gasped, blinking as she took in the shapeshifting of the young woman before her. "I...oh...wow!" She jumped out of her seat and hurried forward. "Hello!" "Mom? This is Cassie. She is the young woman I freed yesterday. And the one I have fallen in love with," Max told her, putting an arm around Cassie's shoulders.

"Perhaps I can help him. Make things easier on him?" Octavius offered, sending little tiffs of air to circle around and goat the objects out of the closet and into a neat pile. Plucking up the mats, he set them in their own pile. "What else do we need?"

Cassie winced slightly as Max's mother moved towards her thinking she was going to get hit or yelled at. She blinked as nothing of the sort happened. Max's arm was very comforting, and she wished her hair wasn't such a mess. She felt so vulnerable in front of this woman, but with Max beside her she'd be okay. "Hello," She pushed a slight smile, unsure of what to do.

"I think he'd appreciate that," Jason smiled and looked through for the blankets. "These, and these..." He then found the pillows wrapped up in the blankets. "You don't have to if you don't want to though..."

The woman studied Cassie a moment before reaching out and gently taking the girls hands. "Cassie...do you love him as well? Of your own will?" She asked. "Mother I-" "Hush, Maximillian. I want to hear it from her. Her words, her truth," his mother reprimanded, him lightly, studying Cassie with her big dark green eyes.

"He aided you as a child? Played with and entertained you? You said he was a good man. I am able bodied and don't mind. I like honest work. It makes me feel like I have done something good. If he needs help and will let me, I would like to do so," Octavius answered honestly, carefully stacking everything back into the closet.
