"Not exactly! Like for you guys, injuries carry into either form. For me and Nisha they don't. What would happen if I got killed in one form... Maybe I would just be entirely one or the other after that!" She glanced around looking for a way to explain what she meant, and her eyes fell on the salt and pepper packets,"Okay." She picked up one of each, ripped them open, and poured all the pepper into the salt packet to mix the two together,"This is you. The average shifter. Pepper's animal, salt's human. They're all mixed together, see? If I poked a hole in this bag, both would fall out. Because they're one. But me.... She picked up two fresh packets and just held them together between her pinched fingers,"Pretend these are taped. They're not all mixed together but they're still one thing. I poke a hole in the salt bag, only salt falls out. See what I'm getting at?" She only glanced down at her menu for a second. She already knew what she wanted.

Kristen grinned and shouted after him,"With ice! Oh and bring out a cookie too. I need a cookie, Love. Preferably warmed." She added onto the list of requests to tease him.
"Well, don't ever try it. I don't want anything bad to happen to either one of your forms. Promise me you won't do anything reckless. " Nashton implored genuinely.

Orson sighed softly as he did her bidding. He looked to Bertram and whispered with humor, "What has happened to me? I used to be feared. This mighty Oilin has fallen to the whims of my beautiful mate."
Bertram chuckled and nodded, "Yes, it would seem so. But happy mate, happy life. I'd suggest the microwave for that cookie. " He said with equal humor.
Orson grinned and nodded, "I wouldn't change a thing. I'm blissfully happy and thanks for the tip." He said as he got everything ready for his beloved Kristen. He then hurried back to her. "Here you go. Just as you requested. " He said lovingly, as he handed her the warmed cookie and iced tea.
