"Pretty big. Basically, consider it a town all of its own. A very insular town. With critters of all kinds."

"Cool. Is it customary to go around in midform or anything?"

From:

"A lot of them go around in midform, fullform's a bit rarer because thumbs are fantastic, but there are people without medallions. Going in human form also happens and no one will care if you do, though they might get curious about what you are."

"I think I'll put on - wings and tail and hindpaws, but not the rest of my legs, bipedal digitigrade walking is hard," decides Bella. "What do you peryton types do?"

"Come to think of it," says Bella, "it's odd that I didn't have more trouble that I did continuing to register Darren as Darren when I saw the definitely-not-a-human-face. Like, the rest of it, sure, but the face I'm surprised I wasn't more confused."

"I think I still kept my same mannerisms as fullform, so that probably helped."

"Maybe that's all. Or it's a matter of me being a critter. I'd ask Dad but Dad's only seen me in fullform, not you, and my face is about the same except I get sort of fangy."
