"You're welcome, I'm just glad to be of help, I hate seeing people in pain, especially if there’s something that can be done." I sat quietly after that, watching the two boys while we waited for Alexis to return.
A moment later we heard a soft knock on the door and I got up and opened it. Alexis came back into the room carrying a plate with a sandwich on it; my nose told me it was a ham and cheese. She set the plate down on the counter and turned back to the wolf on the table.
"Well then," She said to Jason, "Are you feeling better?" He lifted his head from the table and nodded once. "Good, do you think you can shift on your own?" Again, he nodded his assent. We waited there for just a moment and the shimmering blur returned fading again after just a moment to reveal the blond teenager that he had started out to be. He was still sitting on the exam table as he had started out, only now his clothes were just shredded bits of cloth lying on the exam table under him. They had been hidden under his fur when he was in wolf form.
Alexis pulled a set of gray sweats out of the cabinet next to the sink and handed them to him.
"Here you are, we'll step outside until you're dressed." And she turned and followed me out of the room, closing the door behind us once again.
"You did well. You're getting better; you turn away, or even blush when you realized he had shifted out of his clothes." She complemented me.
"I'm trying, but sometimes it's hard."
"You're doing well; it's only been two weeks since you learned what you are. You've made a lot of progress in a short amount of time."
"Thanks, sometimes I feel so lost. I can't tell my family or friends and I feel like I'm drifting away from some of my closest friends."
"I'm sorry but if it means anything, I think you are doing exceptionally well."
"You're doing really well for someone who has only known of us for two weeks" Caden put in.
"Thanks, it helps some to know I'm adjusting well."
