Yeah, okay, his friend was a giant bird inside. He could deal with that. But he couldn't deal with the idea of her going through all that and looking like those dogs out behind the other auto shop that Mr. Corey used to compete with. He felt like the most unobservant creature on the planet.
...Right, pizza. He heaved himself out of his chair and grabbed the phone off the wall. Maurice stumbled over his words as he placed the order and forgot what Meranda had asked for so she was going to get pepperoni and she was going to like it.
One he sat back down after having a conversation with someone that wasn't about giant birds, he settled back into staring at Heather again. It was just...hard to forget the first flashes of what he'd seen.
"So you can be a monster bird thing...any time you want? Or does it only happen when you're mad like the Hulk?"
