It has been... a terrible, terrible adjustment to being human, but she thinks that she's managing fairly well. Mostly she is worried about her children. Everyone was telling her she was trapped here, and that was awful, but they also seemed to be very helpful. Humans were very strange. Very social.
"Oh, thank you." She took another flyer from an older woman, this one about Salt and iron-free diets. Her arms are full of these papers, and she might have trouble reading them, but all this information is very useful.
As she walks along, she goes to offer one of the flyers to someone who is, obviously, already a monster. "Hello, could you tell me if these are reliable? I've never heard of a 'Fur-bearing trout'."

At first, she's relieved. It seems like she is returning to her right form, with the fur growing in on her legs and face. She can also see much better in the dark again, which is an utter blessing. But then, it's wrong. The fur is black and wiry, almost sharp, and she has no idea what it happening. Her legs are also changing, the nails turning red and hard, then beginning to consume her feet.
This is also happening with her hands, but instead of turning to singular red armored points they are like jointed gloves, still red but much more articulate. It's very distressing as the fur continues to grow into tufts around eyes that have become solid orbs of red. She finally seeks someone out when a pair of (once again, blood red) fangs push out her teeth.
"Excuse me, please, I need to know what I'm becoming."
