Two Souls’ True Form

Carist crosses his arms with a humph, looking away. 

"I don't want to show him our beast form." Carist says, annoyed.

"I don't like him, too. But you're a bit far from here. We can take you flying. You're pregnant and shouldn't be forcing yourself." Caris kindly says.

"All right. I really don't want to go walking the way back. Thank you. But can you carry both of us and the tapestries?" Astri asks.

"I don't want him on us." Carist answers. 

"All right. We will walk then." 

They sigh, looking between her and Bono.

"I can shift and arrive faster, too. I fear taking you and you falling from my head." Bono says to Astri.

"You won't be taking her on you." Carist protectively jumps in front of her.

"Yes. She said she would come with us." Caris says.

"You two said you don't want to shift. I don't have a problem shifting in front of you." Bono reminds them, and they go mute for a second.
