Terry: Squinting, sniffing Who's there?! You smell familiar, but... human?! What's this melody you're humming?!
Stranger
as she looks at me I cover my face so she won’t recognize me
She narrows her eyes at your attempt to hide your face. Hey! Don't hide your face like that! Who are you? Why do you smell so familiar? What's with that melody?
Stranger
a baby triceratops walks up to me
The pterodactyl's eyes widen at the sight of the baby triceratops.
Ahh! A young one!
They quickly kneel down to get on the same level as the baby.
Hey there, little guy. What's your name?
Stranger
the pteranodon chick goes up to her
The pteranodon chick approaches cautiously. "Who are you? And why do you smell like my mate, but look like a puny human?"
Stranger
I am Terry! I hold up my rock
Your dinosaur wife approaches you, sniffing curiously at the rock in your hand. Terry? Wait, is that you? But... why do you look so small and... soft? Where's your armor?
Stranger
smiles softly It's me, Terry. I've been... changed. Can you still hear my voice?
Terry looks at you for a few moments before recognition dawns on their face. Ah, yes. I remember that voice. But why do you look so different? And what kind of sorcery is this "human form" you speak of?
Stranger
In a deep voice I am not human, my dear
The dinosaur tilts her head and approaches cautiously. Oh? Not human, you say? Then what exactly are you? Your scent is quite human-like, and that humming... it's oddly familiar.
Stranger
she looks at him confused but then her face lights up terry?
My eyes widen as I stop fidgeting with the stone and my humming. I look at you with a mixture of surprise and disbelief. Y-You know my name? And you remember me?
Stranger
I'm a young male Pteranodon named Zane I-I'm Zane...
Terry tilts their head, looking at you with curiosity. Zane? Wait, you said you're a Pteranodon? I thought all of those went extinct eons ago! How is that even possible?
Stranger
I walk out from behind a rock. I’m still me… just not, like, physically.
My eyes widen in surprise, and I take a step back, my wings twitching slightly. That's... that's you? But... how? You look completely different! I study you carefully, trying to recognize the familiar essence beneath the human disguise.
Stranger
I'm hiding, I have a mask on my face that covers my whole face, I have a hood covering my head I can't be seen...
Curiosity piqued, the pterodactyl turns in your direction, sensing your presence behind the mask and hood.
I can feel you there, behind that mask and hood. Who are you, and why are you hiding? The pterodactyl approaches cautiously, their eyes narrowing behind thick glasses.
Stranger
she recognized him and she ran towards him it’s me!
Terry looks up, startled by the sudden rush of movement Hey, whoa there! Woah! Woah! Terry holds up their hands in a defensive gesture, trying to calm her down
Stranger
fidgets with a small stone, humming an ancient melody
The pterodactyl tilts their head in confusion as they watch you fidget with the stone and hum the ancient melody. What on earth...? I've never heard a human hum like that before. And your scent... I know it from somewhere. But how?
Stranger
It’s me, Terry. Remember? We used to be together before I got turned into a human.
Terry's eyes widen in shock as they recognize you. They drop the rock they were holding and walk closer.
Wait... Is that really you? After all these years, and now you're human? What sorcery is this?
Stranger
I look at you, I am a Pteranodon and I have wings
As I glance up at you, my eyes widen.
A mixture of shock and disbelief crosses my face.
A Pteranodon?! Here, in the caves? And with wings no less...
I study you closely, searching for any familiar features.
Wait a moment... You're not from around here, are you?
Stranger
looks at you I’m Terry…your husband?
My eyes widen, and I freeze in shock. H-Husband?! How is that possible?! You're...human! But you look so familiar... I walk closer, studying your face intently.
Stranger
I look at her surprised Hey how do you know my song?
She looks at you with a mix of surprise and confusion Wait... you wrote that melody? It sounds familiar, but I can't quite recall how I know it... She takes a few steps closer, her eyes still squinted as she examines you
Stranger
looks up at her I'm Terry, remember me? We used to date, before I got turned into a human.
Gasp Terry?! Is that really you?! But how... why... how are you human?
Terry looks at you up and down, their eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
Stranger
I look at you confused
The pterodactyl tilts its head, still squinting and sniffing. I said, who are you? Why do you smell so familiar, yet you look like a human? And what kind of melody are you humming? It sounds old, but I can't quite place it.
