"You're making false accusations! I have absolutely nothing to conceal!"
As if to prove his point, he held out his scaly hands. Several more feathers dislodged from his wings, in doing so.
"I'm not Howl!"

"Oh, this is--"
He made a choking sound, as he grasped around for words.
"--so, the pink hair and the excessive cleaning wasn't enough for you, apparently! It was your plan all along to have me turn myself into a pitiful monstrosity, just so you could pretend to befriend me and humiliate me all over again! I knew--I shouldn't--look at me now!"
Soren crumpled to the floor at Megan's feet in a heap of feathers. And then, more quietly--
"Look at me now..."

Megan couldn't stay upset at him when he was like this- or at least she couldn't let it be her main concern.
"I didn't want anything like that- I didn't know it was you- Howl-"
She dropped to her knees beside him and wrapped her arms around his feathery shoulders.
"I didn't know, honestly I didn't..."

"...didn't you?" he sniffed, as a single large tear traced its way down his face and splashed onto Megan's arm.
His yellow eyes desperately sought out hers.

"No, not at all- here-"
She dug in her pocket for a tissue and held it out to him.
"Why would you do this?"

For Soren-who-was-really-Howl-in-disguise, that wasn't the question. Not by a long shot.
"Well...why wouldn't I?"

His expression hardened, as he balled his hands on his hips.
"What are you saying? That I'm not capable of changing myself for others? That I'm not compassionate a-and thoughtful and--"

"Look, it's fine."
She leaned toward him and dabbed at his face.

He immediately fell silent but kept his eyes trained on her face.

"It's nothing, really," he returned, with a slow shake of the head. He added, not without affection, "Oh, bother you."

Megan smiled. There was something really endearing about that.
"So you put a glamour on yourself just to find me again?"

((Icon!))
"Something along those lines," he replied, with a slight shrug.
For once, he was glad for his irksome feathers--his face had suddenly become rather hot.
"It really wasn't that difficult."
