Lauren had been learning to like this crux form more and more as she had spent time at Valence's. She still had to look twice every time she saw herself in the mirror or undressed to bathe, but she could tell she was in there. She had come to like the curly ears and the thicker tail, but so far her favorite part was the large paws. Cruxes had large thick feet with rather dangerous looking claws.

The sound they made even reminded her of her hooves. After a long day of adventuring and preparing for her journey back home, she found her feet paws ached. She complained of this to Valence, who promptly instructed her to lay upon some pillows and place her feet paws in his hands.

"Why should I... Oohh... Oh, that's so...." She could only stick out her tongue in pleasure as the stress from her feet paws simply melted away.

Crux bodies had a lot of perks, but soon she would miss her zebra form. Perhaps she would have to keep some crux formula handy.
