Didn't we do this already? (Tobias, open)

Tobias sat perched the rafters at Cassie's place, his usual sleeping area now that it had been found. Many of the others stayed in the house, but hawks and enclosed spaces don't mix. At least the barn usually had the door open.

He felt feverish,really warm for some reason He suspected he was getting sick,and it made him wonder what organisms on board could infect a bird, and he found himself recalling his last troubling illness-the Yamphut. He had to go eat, but since he didn't feel particularly good, it would take more effort than usual to find the resolve for it.

For now, he sat and shivered, feeling the beginnings of chills. He'd have to call Cassie when he got the chance, maybe she could help.

Beastboy was restless and uncomfortable. There was a lingering scent in the air he couldn't identify and it was unpleasant to his sensitive nose.

In dog form he trotted along trying to find the source of the scent but he kept getting turned around. Whatever it was it was spreading and becoming impossible to track alone.

He was about to give up when he spotted of all things, a barn!

Maybe there were some animals from Earth in there? He loved animals! Shifting back to human form he poked his head in, "Helloooooo?" He called looking about.

Tobias watched, cautious. He didn't immediately reply but studied the...boy?...for a moment, taking in what he was up to. No one else was here at the moment, so the only potential danger was if he was a controller. He hoped there weren't any besides Tom and Aftran around, now.

< yes? >

Beastboy gave a start and looked around confused, "Dude...wait...that was like...in my brain!" He flailed and clutched at his head confused, "Who's the psychic and why can't I see you?" Another beat and a accusation, "Or are you...A GHOST!?!"

< No, not a ghost. I'm up here. >

At least, given the environment of the ship, he could logically be something other than an Andalite, even to a controller, and he was keeping his beak shut about anything that could endanger anything.

Beastboy's head snapped up and he spotted the hawk right away, "Duuude! Psychic bird!" He cheered and shifted to humming bird form to buzz up to the rafters before turning into a parrot and perching across the way.

Parrot was one of the only forms Beastboy could shift into that could still talk "You're a red tailed hawk!" He observed the obvious, "That's so cool! I didn't think there were any Earth animals on board except like a few wolves."

< I am still surprised by the shapeshifters here. > The boy was obviously not Andalite, but he could still morph. He was careful not to say too much outright that might reveal things about himself, even in his sick state.

< I don't think there are that many earth animals...even in hydroponics, they're usually wierd things from other planets. I think I saw a cat somewhere, though.>

"Knowing this place it can probably talk or do magic or something." Beastboy joked before shifting back to his regular form and sitting precariously on the rafter.

"So wait, are you a shapeshifter too or just like...physic bird dude? Oh My name's Beastboy by the way, what's yours?"

< Of a sort, I suppose. I cannot reveal much, though. And, not really psychic...just...different. > He could say that much, since he wasn't alone shapeshifting here. But he was keeping his beak firmly shut about anything Andalite or Animorph related.

"Huh...alright well your business is your business." Though he seeme disappointed. "So is this like, your barn? It's totally sweet dude. Very old school."

< It's a friend's. But yeah, it's a nice place to relax. > He doesn't mention the sickness, it's the predator hawk, to whom it's a weakness to be anything but strong and healthy.

Beastboy grinned, "Do ya mind if I stick around? I like making new friends and any animal lover is a friend of mine." He laughed, "That goes without saying I guess." He shifted into a chipmunk to make his point.

< I won't stop you. >

However, the chipmunk was a bad choice to morph. Tobias was feeling the aggression, and he couldn't stop himself from going in for the attack. He pulled himself up just at the last moment.

< I think this illness is getting to me. > he said.

Beastboy shifted back to human form almost falling off the rafter clinging tightly. "Dude...you just tried to eat me!"

As he scrambled and hauled his gangling form back up onto the rafter he panted, "What...illness?"

< Don't know...hard to tell around here. Seems like the flu, except for what it's doing to my temper. >

Beastboy considered that, "There's always the med bay you know? Maybe you should go get yourself checked out. You could get in alot of trouble if you attacked the wrong dude."

< Yeah, maybe. Might try and find my friend, too. She's...well, she has some experience. Can try both, maybe. > Cassie might know, but then again, she wasn't a vet like her dad, and who knew where this thing came from? But Tobias wasn't fond of doctors, either.

"Alright um...maybe I can help. What's her name? What's she look like?" Beastboy offered hopefully.

< Cassie. Dark skin,dark hair that's kind of short and curly, brown eyes. This place is hers, but I'm not sure where she's at at the moment. >

"OH!" Beastboy's eyes flashed with recognition, "I know Cassie! I met her on like, the day she arrived! That's so cool! Small world right?" He babbled before changing into a monkey and swinging through the rafters, shifting back when he reached the loft entrance to the barn.

"I'll go look for her, we'll be back before you know it!" He promised.

< Thanks > came the reply. Tobias had a two-way feeling of ick: The nausea and chills and fever made him want to go to sleep. But the aggression inside him made him want to attack something. He hated all of it.
