Library, Saturday

Cassidy was quite aware of all of the heightened emotions that she was picking up from the psychic scents of people as she got ready for the day and headed to the library. She could, perhaps, knock on the doors of the most upset ones to see if they needed anything, but that might be considered as being nosy or prying and she didn't want to upset anyone.

So, against all of her urges to help, she forced herself to continue to the library, hoping that perhaps if soemone needed help, they would seek her and the library out.

When she got there, she found an inordinate amount of books on being a girl waiting for her on the tables.

"Oh," she sighed, shaking her head. "It must be that weekend, again."

She hoped Loki and Evan were all right...

"Being a girl isn't so bad if you have been that way all of your life and you're used to it," Cassidy said with sympathy in her voice as she handed him a cup of tea. "However, it can be quite a shock to wake up as a girl when you are usually a male."

She gave him a small, encouraging smile as she passed him a muffin as well. "The good news is that it usually just lasts a couple of days here and by Monday you should be a male again."

Oh, beautiful muffin. Evan was going to cradle you to his chest and continue looking at Cassidy with big, wide eyes.

"Promise?"

A beat.

And then he was looking down again.

"... Wait, I'm still a girl?"

Your shapeshifting mutant power was fooling nobody from Kaeleer with a Jewel and a nose, boyo.

"I promise. Fandom does this at least once a year that I have seen."

Cassidy nodded. "You may not seem so on the outside to everyone else, but my Craft lets me pick up on the differences between you and the female you that you're trying to disguise."

She was not going to try to explain psychic scents to him right now because he was already freaked out enough about this.

Evan was deciding here and now that Cassidy's Craft was mean.

Mean, mean craft!

"Oh..." He wrinkled his nose a little as he picked at his muffin. "So I'm kind of just guy-shaped right now, and that's about it? This island is thorough when it decides it's going to try to mess with a person, I guess."

But her Craft would also potentially keep her alive, Evan!

"Yes, the island tends to be very thorough when it decides to pull these shenanigans."

... Well, alive was probably a good thing, then. Evan couldn't argue with the narrative's logic, there.

"Why does it do this at all?" He wasn't whining. Honest. "I mean, I can do something about the weird shape, but if I couldn't I wouldn't have even had clothes that fit."

Because somebody got comic book woman proportions when he was a lady, yes.

"But you have friends here who can sew or pull things together quickly," she assured him. "I certainly would have helped and when things like this happen, the students who are normally girls pitch in to help the guys who woke up with the wrong proportions. Just like the males do when the girls wake up as boys."

"Yeah, but if I still looked like I did when I woke up this morning and I had nothing to wear, I wouldn't have left my room."

Because there was no way he was going to go out there topless. Nuh-uh. Not in a million years.

"Should I start collecting spare clothes for when the girls turn into boys, though? I can do that. I'm kind of smaller than most of the guys in the school but maybe that will come in handy, in case there are some small... girl... guys?"

What was the word for that, anyhow?

"Then I would have come looking for you after my shift here was done," Cassidy said firmly. "And I'm sure that the girls would appreciate you having done that when the time comes where the island changes them."

"Well... I'll start collecting guy clothes, then," Evan decided, smiling a little. "Especially winter coats and things, since that's on the way, too."

He fidgeted a little.

"I probably would have hidden under the covers if you had come to visit, though."

Because comic book proportions. He was fifteen! WHY. WHYYY?
