Volens looked into Penn's eyes, then quickly looked away. What a marvelous race these Kelvics are. She would be a good friend to have. She was intelligent, and could turn into a tiger! What else could you ask for in a companion? Volens mustered some energy and smiled, and looked back to Penn.
"Wow, only two? And you can turn into a tiger? Or I guess as you put it, turn into a human." Volens stopped himself and took a breath. He was starting to ramble. He ate a little more fruit. He cleared his thoughts, and took another breath, "I may be young, by human standards, but I have learned that what you are doesn't matter so much."
He couldn't stop himself from talking, maybe it was the exhaustion, "You saved my life, Penn. And you've given me a wonderful day. If there is anything I can do for you, just ask and I'll help you to the best of my abilities." After he was done talking, he thought he might have said to much, to fast. But it was how he felt, and nothing could take back these words.
