He nodded. I was trying to come to Earth, though my shields were down and a meteor struck my ship, breaching the hull and causing me to crash. He listened as Aaron explained about food and nodded, then started slowly walking with him towards the closest neighborhood. I am supposed to be here covertly so please do not tell others of me.

"I promise," he said, managing not to stutter for those two words. He wouldn't tell anyone about Tinem, unless something bad happened. If he had to for the andalite's sake he would reveal his presence, but for now only Aaron would know.
They reached the neighborhood and Aaron noticed a hotdog stand nearby. He made his way out of the trees and purchased one, heading back to where Tinem was with his food. It helped a lot actually. He'd have to remember that he'd probably want to eat after morphing.

Tinem watched from the trees as Aaron went over and grabbed some food. He nodded a little and smiled a bit with his eyes.
A couple days later, Tinem walked down the street in his new Human morph. He had on a pair of overalls and little else. He was trying to remember where Aaron lived as he wanted to talk to him. He walked up to a door and knocked, waiting to see who would answer.

Aaron opened the door to see a person he didn't recognize standing there. "Hello?" His mind flashed that this could possibly be Tinem, but there were other possibilities as well. This could just be a new friend of his mom's or grandad's and in that case he shouldn't make an idiot of himself.

Tinem smiled a bit. "Do you like this morph?" He looked down at himself, then back at him. "I did not have a chance to find more clothes."

Aaron stepped outside and pulled the door shut. He wanted to keep Tinem's secret and not having one of his relatives overhear this conversation was probably the best way to do that. He smiled once he was outside. Tinem could use some more clothes, but he'd definitely gotten a unique human form.
"I th-think it works," Aaron said. "It's d-definitely unique. You sh-should also pick out a h-human sounding name for when y-you're using this form."

He smiled and started walking with him. "I have heard that Andalites usually shorten their first names. So... How does Tin sound? Is that Human sounding?" He looked over at Aaron.

Aaron thought about it for a moment as they walked. If Ax could go by what he had when the original Animorphs had fought, then Tin would work. It could probably be short for something else easily and just a preferred nickname.
He nodded. "That sh-should work." He thought for a moment before telling Tinem. "I t-tried out a different m-morph the other day, though I hadn't c-c-completely intended to acquire it." No, his friend's hamster had sort of been an accident, and it wasn't worth much as a morph either. He definitely preferred his sparrow.

He smiled a bit. "What would that be?" He walked along with him, wandering along the sidewalk.

"A hamster. It's the p-pet of one of my f-friends. I was holding it and th-thought about acquiring it and d-did even though I h-hadn't intended to." He rolled his eyes as he meandered his way down the sidewalk at Tinem's side. "It c-can't do a whole l-lot though. N-not really worth having."

He nodded a bit. "Is it a small creature?" He looked over at Aaron, curious. He had a good idea for how something small could be of use.

Aaron nodded to Tinem's question. "V-very small. It c-could fit into m-my hand." He held up a hand to demonstrate just how small the hamster was. Still, maybe a small morph had it's uses. His sparrow morph was small, but it had certainly proved to be useful.

He nodded a little. "Sounds like it will be useful for sneaking in to places. Though you should go to the Gardens and acquire some larger morphs. I just came from there myself." He looked over at him.

He hadn't thought of sneaking into places with the hamster. A rat or a mouse maybe, though why was the hamster that different from either of those? It, like the sparrow, was small but that was part of what made it a good morph for it's own uses.
"Yeah, I kn-know I need some b-bigger morphs. I'll n-need to find some t-time to get over the the G-gardens and acquire a few." He was glad Tinem had stopped over there though. That meant his friend would now be capable of blending in here on earth.

He smiled and nodded, turning a corner with him. "It would most likely be to your benefit to get in contact with the old Animorphs. I fear the Yeerks may be back." He looked over at him, completely serious.
