[Casey hasn't transformed around humans at all, really, so he doesn't know what things should smell like just yet. But the wooden scent is actually kind of comforting, instinctively. He doesn't know why (he really needs to get Donnie to send him the file on pangolins at this point) but it feels safe.

As for the offered finger, with his poor eyesight and the angle, Casey doesn't see it coming. And he... has never been pet before. THE CHOICE IS YOURS, HUNTER-]

Yeah. They killed the world, they dried up the oceans... most things couldn't survive. We mostly had insects, and... rats.

[He shivers. Now that he's been here and tasted good food, he never wants to go back to eating those.]

But here there's lots of animals. Sometimes I'm one of them. That's... pretty cool, I think.
