"Hey."
Lily was pretty sure she was dreaming, because all of her dreams looked the same--she was in a tree in a misty landscape, and sometimes she was a noodle in a tree in a misty landscape and the world smelled like fall. Today she was somewhere in between, and her rounded ears flickered as she looked down at the occupied park bench. When the figure didn't respond, she clambered down slowly, her tail twitching in apprehension. She leaned over the park bench and nudged the soft fabric of Wil's hoodie.
It felt pretty real. Maybe she wasn't dreaming.
She caught sight of the nestled ferret and leaned forward, glancing between him and the strings he currently chewed. "Okay, but that's not a snack," she chided softly. "Or, um, s**t, what was the...mmm...squeak squeakity not snack." Gloom had promised to teach her the words someday. Unfortunately, that day was not today.

"Listen, mister, don't you look at me with that tone of voice," Lily scolded, her voice nevertheless gentle as she held a hand out for the ferret to sniff. She used the other one to poke lightly at Wil's ribs, careful not to jab too hard with her claws.
"Yo, buddy, just because you dream here doesn't mean you're supposed to sleep here," she added, leaning over the back of the bench to see if he was stirring. "That's trying way too hard."

"Not much," Lily shrugged, lifting herself over the back of the bench to join Wil. She pulled the length of fluff that was her tail into her lap, then shook her head--with a little bit of concentration, she was mostly-human Lily and not anime-protagonist Lily, her features resettled to what she looked like outside of the full moon.
"Yeah, that's...don't do that," Lily said, not in reference to lighting up, but instead putting a hand on the bench. "Sleeping in public around here is normally whatever, it's not like we live in some crime town, but in the otherworld there's...other stuff. Bad stuff." She gave a noncommittal shrug and rattled her fingernails on the texture of the wood, a tactic to catch the ferret's attention. "You just...gotta be careful out here, dude."

Lily shook her head and muttered, "Nah, I'm good," at the offer. Instead, she held out a hand towards Bud, giving him a moment to acquaint himself with her.
"Fisher cat, basically a big ferret," she responded with a nod. "Not unless I bite you, but I'm not really about that life so you're SOL on the shapeshifting powers unless you spontaneously happen to be one of us. That happens sometimes." The first of them had been spontaneous, and there were others, like Preacher, so it must have been something in the water, or just in their blood.
"If you're here then you're magic," she shrugged. "Them's the rules. Early on it's something pretty small, like...'you have the dankest joints in town' or whatever. Some people go pretty full-out with it. I'm just a furry who can make snowballs." And with no discernible flourish, a snowball popped into existence in one hand, and she let it roll to the ground where it pancaked into a shapeless blob.
