[Kenneth Branagh]

If you put this much energy into changing back as you did just now being outraged

🤨

[Niall Gallagher]

Omg
Omg

I'm back

I never want that to happen ever again

[Kenneth Branagh]

Niall
Love

What just happened

What
Are you?

[Niall Gallagher]

*grabs nearby couch blanket and wraps in it*

*holding phone and still on FaceTime but looking totallly paranoid*

"I don't know! I was freaking out about being a monster and and thinking what kind of monster am I when I just. I shrank! I shrank down and down and everything round me got so big and tall. I didn't know if it was going to ever end or if I'd end up vanishing! Tried to get a holda you but my hands! My hands weren't hands they were paws and I didn't know how to use them! Never heard of a shifter rabbit with wings. Odd. What does it mean? Lemme see lemme see look here let's see..."

*looking through Ken's books*

[Kenneth Branagh]

Fine time for us to find out now! With hunters outside waiting!

You had wings
They looked a bit like dragonfly wings
Well cross between dragonfly and butterfly

Look through the Grimoire of Souls, the black one with green binding

[Niall Gallagher]

Oh ew. Did I look like this?

It's a phooka. Or pooka. Or puca.

Says it's a kind of fairy from
Ireland

They shift into different stuff like cats and
Bunnies

....

[Kenneth Branagh]

Jesus Niall you want to give me another heart attack?

Your form was
Much cuter than that thing

And the wings were different from that one so I'm thinking maybe a cross between a pooka and something else
Fae most likely, they're close cousins of each other as a species


Shite
This means you're
Well you're not a Gallagher I suppose, to put it bluntly love. Unless your parents are hiding something from all of us

[Niall Gallagher]

I got it from your book!

And how could I be a cross between this and a fae?
Like you said my parents
My parents are hunters.
Legacy hunters.

No way they could be...

Changelings
...
Somebody
Somebody switched me out?

....
My parents have to know
They must have
I don't get it then
Why not kill me?

...

[Kenneth Branagh]

I don't know

They might not have known
Or they were trying not to see the obvious

I
Know how that feels. I've been ignoring everything, all the signs
The detectors, my gut feelings
It's not easy to accept a thing like this when you think you've known someone their whole life to be one way, and now they're another

[Niall Gallagher]

Hey hey
HEY
I'm still the same Niall

I'm not letting this utter heap of gobshite turn me into something else!
...even if it literally does

I'm still NIALL

[Kenneth Branagh]

There we go, I knew you had that in you

I feel the same way
Let's get you to that seer though, and see what's to be done about this
Changing back and forth business

(GOTCHA NIALL)

[Niall Gallagher]

You
You sly bastard!


now hurry up
I don't know how I did it and I don't wanna do it again

[Kenneth Branagh]

You don't have the monopoly on being sly, my love ;)

I'm almost home
I've called ahead and the seer said
Something about a full house but she'll see us

Luckily she lives in the same apartment I rented out today
What a strange coincidence!

[Niall Gallagher]

Dad always said don't believe in coincidences.

...not that he's my dad.
Or that I ever took his advice about anything ever
