Cassie nodded as Celena talked about her own transformation ability, fascinated to learn more about her companion and, although, she was tempted to ask further, she held her tongue for the moment.
She was distressed to hear that Celena was here alone. That had to be terribly difficult for her. She was quiet for a moment before lowering her head, "I'm sorry. I hope that someone you know from your world appears soon. In the meantime though," she said with an encouraging smile, "At least you have your friends on the ship." She hoped that Celena had many of them and that she herself might one day be fortunate enough to be referred to as such by the kindly dragon.
She was grateful for Celena's help in keeping an eye out for anyone who might oversee them and interested in her companion's reaction. Most people, when faced with morphing were either disgusted, horrified, impressed, or some mix of those. Celena's reaction didn't seem to fall into any of those categories. Instead, Cassie could see only honest curiosity in what she could work out of Celena's expression. She found it encouraging.
< Really? > Cassie might have smiled had she been human. She tilted her head, considering. < I have too, but it can still be rather rough to watch someone morph. Birds aren't the worst of them though. It can be very disturbing to see a person become an insect or an insect become a person. And you're quite welcome. Feel free to ask whenever you wish. > She was quiet for a moment. < Can I see your transformation? I'll understand if you'd rather not. I don't wish to pry, > she added worriedly.
(OOC: I'm sorry. I wasn't sure whether to respond to the first part in regular speech or thought speech, but I went with regular speech because, in a normal conversation, Cassie probably would have responded to Celena's comment before morphing and I wasn't sure what the proper etiquette on this was. I can fix it if it's wrong. Thanks for your patience!)
