[Well, at least they have that going for them. Maria ensures she keeps a hand on Adeline's shoulder, or arm, just maintaining physical contact until she can reach down to take her hand.

That is... certainly fur. Maria only pulls up the sleeve a little to look at it, then reaches back up to look over the other woman's face and neck and hair.

It looks... like it may just be fur. A turnskin then, perhaps. If she showed up in the waking world, then they could test, but for now...]

Okay. It's alright, Adeline. I know what it looks like, but you're not a Beast, though the word for what you are isn't much better - it's Monster. It will be alright, this is temporary. What were you doing in the waking world before coming here?
