Bryan sighed, settling in at his camp, the warm summer air licking at his skin. He had to be careful of the bugs and other wildlife out there, camping in the wilds, but he still wore only a T-shirt and blue jeans, loose and tough enough to bear through some hiking and camping. It had been a rough time working on the new pipeline, and he was glad to have some rest at long last, though it most certainly felt as if it had been an exceedingly long time coming.
"Sheesh..."
He ran his hand back over his hair, fluffing it up, though the brunette looked almost black in the darkness, firelight flickering and dancing, casting long shadows across his campsite. How was it that he had been so caught up in things, not able to take time off? They hadn't set things up well there and, whereas that should have been the fault of his employer, well, it had ended up as Bryan's issue, working overtime.
But he didn't have to worry about that anymore, not as he sat on a fallen log, which he had deliberately set his tent and fire up nearby, rubbing behind his ears, the lines of tension that had ringed his skull for so long. There, it was tranquil. There, it was soft. There, he could breathe again. Finally, he smiled, leaning back on his hands, looking up to the full moon above, the stars twinkling so very high in the sky, having no care for human worries and troubles.
It helped him to think that the world was so much bigger than him, that all the problems that he had down there, in the end, didn't matter at all. Bryan didn't want them to matter, even if they plagued him, for that would have given them greater weight and meaning than he wanted to. He didn't want to worry about the world, not even if he was in what he considered to be his first "real" job that wasn't retail or being a waiter. Those had been just to learn the gigs, to work out workplace norms and all that. The real world where he had to work for a living, well...it was a lot more work than even those part-time jobs.
Something stirred inside him, but, releasing tension into the solitude of the forest, pine trees rising protectively around him, safe where he was. But he did not pay due attention to the push inside him of something awakening, something that could never again be put back in the box from which it had emerged.
Bryan grunted, rubbing the back of his head. Something was different, his breath catching, though standing and shifting his weight about, trying to shake the strange feeling, didn't seem to do what he wanted it to. He muttered to himself, looking back over his shoulder and brushing at his back, thinking that a bug had landed on him.
"What the heck..."
It was not a question that he expected an answer to, though his hands itched and ached strangely, his nails feeling heavy. He remembered that feeling from the time that he had put black polish on for Halloween, oddly disconcerting when he had not considered that he could be so sensitive to such a small thing, and stretched his hands out before him.
"Oh!"
He would have been embarrassed to be so caught off guard if anyone had been there to see him, but he was fortunate that he was out on his own, even if...something was happening. Fear did not sink its hooks into him, though he still stumbled backwards, his nails much darker than they had been, shiny as if they had been dipped in a clinging liquid. They pulled into claws, as if he was wearing gloves that gleamed in the light of the moon, reflecting its soft glow, and he wiggled his fingers curiously, his mind still trying to catch up to what was happening to him.
Not that it was going to do him any harm, of course. No... Bryan was perfectly safe there, not with anything to fear or worry about, groaning softly as the changes rolled through him, the pain slipping from his temples. That was better, at least, and he leaned into the blissful release, his hair thickening up, the weight of it obvious on his head. He panted softly, tongue flickering back and forth within his mouth, playing along his teeth, though they itched oddly too and he didn't too much want to have such a sensitive piece of flesh running around them, not then.
He'd understand later.
"Ooof..."
