@Lee Taemin There was times when he thought that Taemin look more enjoying his presence in animal form than being himself. But Kris never told the younger that or even ask why he doing it in the first place, since he have a good idea about it. Kris social skill never been his best tool, he always quiet even when he was younger and have his family with him . When talk to animal he not hesitant to voice his thought and more at ease, animal never think he being weird or anything, even when they do they never mean harm by it. After all they are not always understand human. To have a person who talk to him in animal form somehow felt refreshing, "There must be someone out there that have that kind of power, but i think it would be boring if we always have pretty sky, we would not really pay attention to it anymore," he smiles slightly and scratch its/his stomach as hinted to.

"Thats not wrong, but people usually treasure something that rare. So lets enjoy it while we can." He looked down at the younger eyes and chuckled softly "I will, but i am not promise they would like me," softly he cupped the younger face. "I know you are worried about my social life, but i am sure that I'll be fine with or without them. After all i have you and King now" he flashed amused smiles, "Ah talking about him, i think he would love to meet and talk to you again. He not talk about it directly but he said that its nice to have another Siberian Tiger thats not his parents."

@Wu Yifan [Kris] It was something that came natural in this form when his head was pet or his back was scratched– it almost seemed like something he /had/ to do. So, he didn't feel bothered when his tail started wagging in excitement. He glanced up at the sky and tilted his head slightly to the side before whimpering quietly. 'I wish I could meet someone with weather manipulation, so I could make it like this all the time. Would that be wrong? Is the pretty sky what you were pondering over here?' He closed his eyes comfortably as his back was scratched, and then he turned over in Kris' lap as a hint for his stomach to be scratched. Taemin usually didn't talk much, but it'd be strange if, after 9 years, he didn't get comfortable around Kris. The man was sweet, someone Taemin had cherished more through the years, and sometimes he wished that the others could see him the way Taemin did.

However, was it Kris' loyalty or the fact that he was simply quiet that he kept so many of Taemin's secrets. He was sure that Kris had heard him at night when he could no longer hold in his tears. When he was stressed about Cirque matters, Kris listened. Hell, Taemin would shift merely to sleep at the foot of Kris' bed when he didn't feel like being by himself. Taemin raised one paw to put on the elder's cheek gently, keeping his eyes on the sky that Kris seemed to prefer. 'You should go talk to some of the new members,' he suggested, knowing that it was a long shot. He always suggested it, nonetheless.

@Lee Taemin Kris sat in silence and closed his eyes. It was calm, serene, but at the same time, hauntingly still. But even in this still, unwavering pause he could hear almost everything. The small breeze passed through him, waves that hit the beach and even faint sounds of footstep that come closer to him. He not even open his eyes to know who it is. For him, someone who like silence, his ears trained to differ any sound from the other, its not perfect but still useful to know people who familiar with him or any sound that he used to hear almost everyday. It was when he fell the pressure on his lap, he started to open his eyes. Looking straight at the black labrador, small smiles appear in his face, only because feel highly amused to find the younger once again come to him in this form. He took a deep breath, and caressing its/his head softly as if he was a real dog.

"Taemin," he said acknowledging his Cirque leader. Even if its the same person, Kris felt it so much easier to talk with his leader in this form, though when it come to work he never have any problem to talk, but for other things animals always easier for him to talk to. There was a full minute pause before he continue to talk. "Isn't the weather nice today?" he said as he looked up to the sky, it was rather cloudy -since its mostly cloudy on winter- but its not as dark as usual, he can still see slight blue behind those cloud. "Or do you prefer different weather?" he glanced down at Taemin, raised an eyebrow he let his hand scratch its/his back lightly.

@Wu Yifan [Kris] Honestly, Taemin didn't use the ability to shapeshift often because he didn't have a need for it himself. Being someone who could easily replicate an ability by making contact with the person with that ability, Taemin usually tried using the most effective and efficient ability that he had in his memory. However, when it came to his roommate, he used the ability to shift himself into animals very often. It started off simple, shifting secretly merely to get to know the strange person sharing a cottage with him. Taemin had asked his aunt repeatedly why she'd put such a quiet being in /his/ cottage. Not to be taken as a hypocrite, Taemin knew he was also quiet and slow to open up to people, Kris seemed to prefer his animal friends more than the Cirque members. So, the younger male decided he'd talk to the older in a way he felt more comfortable.

Of course, Kris caught on quickly, yet he still talked to Taemin. While it made sense to the replicator that he could probably talk easily with Kris in his human form after 9 years of being roommates, Taemin actually liked their strange way of communicating. The playfulness of it all appealed to Taemin, almost like a game. So, when he noticed his friend sitting in the sand on his own, Taemin shifted himself into the first animal that popped into his head– a dog. Because the ability wasn't Taemin's to perfect, he could never control the type, so he became a black labrador every single time. Trotting up to Kris, Taemin sniffed the elder's arm before laying himself across Kris' lap.
