Go with the Badger
You go with the badger, heading back the way you came! Much to your surprise you end up right back at the mouse anthro’s home. He chuckles when he sees the surprised look on your face.
“Ah ha ha! Looks like you’re back with me after all lass!” You frown. You don’t find it funny, though there definitely is irony in the current situation. The male mouse anthro ushers you and the badger to sit on the couch while he prepares some tea. You can’t help but wonder how you’re going to adjust to this new life... Resisting it had seemed to be the only reasonable option.
...but with no leads you supposed you might as well enjoy the new body you had. You find yourself engaged in conversation with the badger, laughing and actually having a good time! Perhaps this wouldn’t be so bad after all.
The other male mouse sets about making the tea, setting out three cups for the three of you. You count your blessings that these creatures who found you don’t think you’re odd... And that they didn’t shun you for saying that you were once a human. Perhaps you have had some luck after all!
After the tea is ready you begin to sip on the drink slowly. It is hot, but sweet, a very herbal taste to the tea. Is it chamomile? Lavender? You weren’t entirely sure but it was delicious all the same.
The badger and the male mouse discuss your situation a little more, trying to poke at possible leads or rumors they might have heard. There is one thing that you can potentially try. But as you sit there with them you notice that you’re actually enjoying your time as a female mouse anthro. It is a different world of senses, of being. You could completely start over, without any of your past mistakes or failures, and start a new life here. You are left with a choice.
