Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs.

It was the perfect kind of day for not knowing where she was. Mokey was perfectly happy, sitting with Gobo cuddled up to her, her arm around him as she nuzzled her snout into his hair. It was just incredibly peaceful, and calming, and something about the fact that she had no idea where they were just added to all of that. Besides, Gobo knew, and that was plenty. Mokey? She liked to go with the flow, and take things as they came.

She sat up a little - she kept adjusting her position just a bit, so her back wouldn't be sore - and brought her hand up, running her fingers through Gobo's hair. "So soft," she observed with a little giggle. It didn't have the lovely length of Red's hair, but it was softer. Red's hair tended to partway break in places, from constantly being tied up in ribbons. Still, Mokey loved Red's hair, too. It was so fun to fashion it in different ways.

"...Oh." That was a good idea, actually. "Gobo, darling?"

Gobo glanced up at one of the braids, still a bit damp, and snorted softly, giving Daniel a push to the face that made him laugh.

"I guess that answers my question of how long you've been there. What I wanna know now is, since when could you do that- dog thing?"

[thewisdomwithin]

"It's so amazing!" Mokey enthused, nodding when Gobo asked his question. She was still blushing a bit at that point - Did Gobo really talk about her so much? It was a very sweet thing to think about. "Gobo's mentioned the magic here, but I've never seen it in action quite like that!"

[scattered_rose]

"Oh, that's actually a wolf, for one." He set them both down, so he could lean on his hands. "Part-'n-parcel of a werewolf transformation I- managed to receive a little while back. Magic's kinda rough to control sometimes, and the werewolf hasn't been easy, but I've pretty much got it now.

"I was actually out practicing when I picked up Gobo's scent, and another Fraggle with him. I tracked it down and well, here we are."

[thewisdomwithin]

Mokey listened carefully, her head tilting to one side the more information Daniel gave "Oh! A... Where-wolf? Well, isn't the wolf right here? It's you, after all... I don't quite understand the question. But you do make a very cute, very soft wolf, wherever you are!"

[scattered_rose]

He snickered some at that and shook his head. "No, were. W-e-r-e. It's an ancient word that means 'human' so, werewolf is basically saying, 'wolf that looks like a man.'" An idea occurred to him and he grinned, then braced up on his hands and swung himself backward a few inches until he could stand up. "Maybe seeing the werewolf instead of just the wolf will make sense." Standing upright, he closed his eyes and brought his hands in front of him, taking in a long, deep breath. His expression tensed, and the same magic from before passed him over. This seemed a bit more difficult of a transformation in that it took longer, the swirls of light and color passing over the ground in sharp gusts that buffeted the two Fraggles. Daniel's form grew, gaining in bulk and height, and even in the glow qualities of the wolf could be seen- pointed ears, a long shaggy tail, fur covering him. When it faded it revealed him in his entireity, a creature that was not a wolf, not a man, but a blend of the two. He was already taller than a normal person so he absolutely loomed over the two tiny Fraggles, but he grinned and leaned down, placing his hands against the earth and nosing Mokey gently. "See? This is what it really looks like." His voice, like his new form, was bigger. It came from the depths of his throat and thrummed through one's chest when they heard it, but it was still his own. "The wolf you saw before is what I use when I want to be... slightly... more inconspicuous."

[thewisdomwithin]

Mokey had to cover her eyes with an arm at the gusts of magic, and when she lowered the arm, she gasped - but not in fright. The visual example was certainly a bit overwhelming, but Daniel was a big sweetie. Now he was just an extremely big sweetie.

"How magnificent, Daniel!" She ruffled the fur just past his nose. "And thank you for the demonstration!" There was no way she'd have understood without it, honestly.

[gobetween]

Lord and he'd thought dogs- wolves? -had been big BEFORE. He'd found himself a bit confused over the whole issue too, but that demonstration certainly cleared things up. Laughing some, he smiled broadly.

"Man, the magic up here is something else, isn't it Mokey?"

[thewisdomwithin]

"It certainly is," Mokey breathed, looking over at Gobo. "The magic at the Rock isn't the kind you notice so much - oh, it's wonderful, too, but this is such... Creative magic!"

[gobetween]

"Yeah, it really is." Feeling the air tingle, a way that raised even the barest fuzz on his body, he glanced up. Recognizing that now as the feeling of Magic in the air, he watched Daniel transform back to normal and take a seat again.

"I'd heard about people transforming into different forms, and seen it a couple times even, but this is just... incredible..! The way you all use magic up here is completely different than down in the Rock." He paused, then smiled. "But it... it kinda feels the same, too. Though I can't put my finger on why... I guess magic is magic, just like everything else is connected."

[thewisdomwithin]

Mokey smiled and nodded, glancing away for a moment to watch Daniel shift back. "I guess you're right," she said cheerily. "Magic is as connected as anything else - why wouldn't it be?"
