*turns into a dog* by the way, my incomprehensible state of being makes me yearn for physical expression, in the same way you understand another's feelings and thoughts by tone of voice or expression, i ache for the ability to transform into various beings to tell you how I am feeling. You can't simply stop there, though, I may be a cat who is very content and wants to happily curl up, or a cat that wants to tear you to shreds. Your own connotations towards snakes and rats do not match my own. How could I ever be satisfied with the limitations of the human language when life is so expressive and large? No i do not want to express myself directly to you, I want this to be an adventure which you go on and develop your own understanding of. This isn't to make life harder for you, but simply what feels right to me. I plead and beg for your understanding as I know that it's hard to comprehend what I am feeling and as such to interpret how I respond through it. It's subjective, as all is, but I just need your patience and care. Be thoughtful in your reaction, because I still bite, wether man or beast. There's no limitations to who I can be, neither the reasons why, so think twice before stroking my fur or my feathers or scales, that is not the only form of who I am, and if you think it is, you are a beast focused on the visual reality far too much for me to care to spend time explaining myself to you.
person, not understanding my barking: Awwh puppyyy! D'awwh, you want me to scratch your ear? or your tummy? such a cute and sweet little baaabyyy!
me, the dog, being pet like a simple minded creature, as if I havent a world of expression buried behind that snout and wet eyes gazing into the face of someone who hadn't even noticed my tail begin to wag: Adequate, yet once more, I plead for your understanding. Still, affection I will not stray from, as even while diminishing and demoralising as it is to witness your childish mind open up a new wall of ignorance and lack of mutual connection, I do quite enjoy the warmth of our contact.
