And with those words, you take off your backpack and spill its contents on your cell floor: Maps—you reach for Alterations Animalian—wait, what's that shiny thing? It's a necklace, fine, but when the heck did... you...
f course: It's the necklace that changed you into an armless sphinx. You weren't happy about it at the time, so why the hell... never mind, you must have put it in your pack while you were in heat (because if it wasn't that, you have no idea how it could have turned up here and now!). You're not entirely pleased with the idea of becoming a boring, stuffy old sphinx again... but the male looks (and smells!) so good, and if that's the only way he's willing to have you...
