Don't shed much, can walk myself.
Hope you don't mind me saying, but you don't look much like a dog.
I stand corrected. That's very impressive.
[ Will be changing back now because talking isn't really a thing he can do in dog-form. ]
Actually what's impressive is that I can look like this.

I'm what you might wanna call one of a kind.
So are you a man who can turn into a dog or a dog who can turn into a man?
Do I look like a man to you?

My reasonin' there would be that you've had some experiences that maybe make you a little less closed-minded than your average person, and that ain't a bad thing.
Or you're just a complete nut yourself.

At the moment. Forgive me, but I've known werewolves and werepanthers.
Fine folks, I'm sure. I'm nothin' like that though. It's just convenient every now and again to have opposable thumbs. Talkin' don't hurt too much either.
[ Pardon him for not returning the stare for too long, extended eyecontact isn't really a thing he does. ]
Don't need no owner no, but a fella like me don't do so well on his own.

[Ah. Right. Mind the eye contact, Lizzy. Remember, he's a dog...]
Do you not have a pack? Or...litter mates? [She wasn't sure what the correct terminology would be. Was he a wolf? Was he a puppy? ...no, definitely not a puppy.] I'm assuming you were recently separated.

[ So long as they both understand one another he's not too fussy about terminology, actually. ]
Got some friends and distant relatives 'round and about these here parts, kind of why I decided to relocate. But that ain't really the same thing as bein' properly settled.

[ That made him laugh. ]
No, those are all human things, and I happen to be rather fond of my balls. Just mean I want a pack. Maybe a mate. People to belong with, not to.

I'm Morgan, pleasure to meet you, Caleb. [He offers the dog/man his hand.]
[ Said hand gets warmly shaken. ]
Right back at you, Morgan. Sounds like you live quite the eventful life, what with gettin' to know werewolves and werepanthers and all.

The keyword here, then, is people? If you're wanting to build human relationships, that should be easy enough to accomplish. You seem like a very nice man...dog. Person. [Mandogperson? Yes, she was really going to have to get her descriptions in order. But oh well...no harm, no foul.]
And look, you've already started with me. [She held out her hand then, which is something she probably should have done from the very beginning.] I'm Elizabeth, but people call me Eliza or Lizzy.
