Summary: John tumbled that around in his head for awhile, tried to sort out why in the fuck a shifter would shed one skin for another without changing a damn thing about his original appearance. It didn’t make any more sense now than it had an hour ago. There wasn’t any advantage to it that he could see; and it went against pretty much everything he knew about the species as a whole. Everything he thought he knew, at least. Everything he’d ever read or heard. Things like shapeshifters were predators, monsters, aberrations of the natural order that would eat a man’s liver for the price of the spare change in his pocket. Not things like shapeshifters might turn out to be protective fathers, or terrified kids huddled into themselves at arm’s length, doing everything they could to hide in plain sight.
