[It really isn't about the ears.

[Armin is...intrigued to see what a real pair of animal ears might look on a person, but aside from all of that, Armin's just happy to see his friend. Jean and Mikasa both seem so happy together, and this world is so mild compared to their own (at least, it seems that way so far) - maybe they really do all have a chance at peace here. It's still strange to think about.

[It's what Jean deserves.

[...

[He is really curious to see those ears though; so, he's been excited for tonight. He knocks on Jean's door. He's been here a few times, but not enough - never enough - to just let himself in.]

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean is tempted to just yell that Armin should just walk in, but instead he walks to the door. He's a bit restless on a full moon night like this, so he wants to walk around.

When he opens the door Armin will see that he has two brown and very fluffy wolf ears on his head and they look like they naturally belong there. There's also a very fluffy tail going back and forth ( = wagging ) behind him because a friend! A friend came to visit!]

How many times do we have to tell you that you can just walk in?

[He does also have fangs that show up when he talks. But that's the limit to his werewolf transformation aesthetically.]

[rollcharisma]

[Lo and behold! Ears! A huge smile breaks out instantly across Armin's face, and he lets out a breathless laugh. He's so blown away by the transformation that he doesn't even argue about knocking vs. walking in.]

Jean, you're...[He laughs again, but it's a joyous thing, not at all mocking or teasing. He's amazed!]

This is amazing! It's...adorable, actually.

[He's aware of his faux pas in saying so, especially given their inaugural conversation, but he can't help it! There's a pair of puppy ears on his friend's head, and his tail is wagging! It's charming!]

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean feels his cheeks becoming red over the genuine joy Armin seems to be feeling. His fluffy wolf tail continues to wag, since Jean is preening over the compliments, but it mostly shows as embarrassment - but tail was even more honest than he was. The traitor.]

J-Just come inside already!

[Undecided on what to say or how to react he just marches into the living room, expecting Armin to follow.]

[rollcharisma]

[Armin follows, only slightly (okay, maybe more than slightly) amused by Jean's reaction. He won't keep pressing the issue though (but gosh - it's amazing isn't it? And it really is adorable too--).]

How did you end up with an ability like this? It's fascinating.

I've heard that you can work your way up to transformations through your season's abilities - is that it?

[rustyhonesty]

I know how to do animal transformations, but wolf isn't part of the summer animal pool.

[He doesn't remember which it belongs to right now, but he would guess autumn or winter.]

This is a curse I got from this world. It happens for the three days during full moon. Sort of like a werewolf? But a lot milder.

[He's not really ready to tell Armin about how he got cursed. Armin was still settling in and he didn't need the addition of finding out a friend of his died. He would tell him, eventually, just... not now.

So distraction from how to something else.]


... well, did you want to pet them? Evangeline told you I'd let you, didn't she?

[rollcharisma]

[Armin was not going to ask Jean if he was allowed to pet his ears; when Jean brings it up on his own, the other boy can't help but grin.]

She did, yes. Of course, I'd wait for you to say something - not just assume.

[An expectant look. Look at those ears.]

[rustyhonesty]

[Jean does a falsely dramatic sigh with a shrug.]

That Evangeline.

[Then he smiles a little and sits down on the couch. He's stupid tall so it's easier if he's sitting. Plus it hides his tag movements at least a little.]

Come on.
