I completely understand missing the tail! After all, how would Mans keep their balance with no tails?

So if french manwalker has their first shift in the U.S.A what mans words to do they find waiting for them?

This is such a neat question ^.^ I'll hold back on answering (aaaand I'd better confer with Erin) but so far as I know, the location of their shift would matter :)

Canonically, once a wolf gets bit by a Manwalker they will shift to human within a day at most. The way it works in this world is the first humans they speak with the language of that human will flood into their mind.

That said, if a french wolf gets bitten and turns human: if the first language they hear is English, that's the language they will learn fast.

However, they still can pick up human languages pretty quickly, just not as fast as the first one :3
