[various, morphing] you are here, in the body you know best
Alloran makes some effort not to morph in front of people, but it takes a couple of minutes for him to change and he does so a few times a day, going from Andalite to human, or human to Andalite. Sometimes, on the outside of the Rig, Andalite back and forth with a six-winged alien bird the size of an eagle. Chances of stumbling across him somewhere in the process are decent.
No matter what shapes are involved, it's very bad to look at. Flesh moves like soft clay. Limbs wither and suck in, or sprout suddenly. Teeth may appear and cluster before a mouth forms to hold them, or be pushed to the outside when a mouth seals up and vanishes. Fur and hair grow like a time lapse or suck into his skin. There are muffled squishing and crunching sounds. It all looks like it should be extremely painful.
<Don't worry about it,> he'll tell anyone who sees, his tone distracted, the changes slowing. <It's unsightly, but there's no harm to anyone.>
[KP] dust the shelves, scrub the sink
The kitchens are no place for Andalite shape. There just isn't space for four legs and an enormous tail. Alloran's here in his chosen, unremarkable human morph and the jumpsuit set aside for it. When he's just set to tasks like chopping or washing or stirring things, it goes okay, even if he sneaks tastes of things like the liquid soap or suds or a leaf from someone's potted jade plant on its shelf overhead. In fairness, the plant's leaves have a glossy appealing look. Maybe you say something to him then.
In any case, he's then tasked to combine chopped raw Rig-grown vegetables to make a salad mix and uh. In among the acceptable stuff there are coffee grounds, and crushed eggshells, and potato peels, several tablespoons of cinnamon, and torn up paper... now he's taken down a bottle of vanilla and is unscrewing the top from an industrial-sized container of salt? Please stop him.
[morning ritual] nap with your windows open to the rain
In the confines of the enclosed gardens, Alloran is looking out of a window, his tail curling and flexing, opening and closing his seven-fingered hands. Get closer and you can pick up that he's repeating something.
<From the water that gave birth to us, from the grass that feeds us, for the freedom that unites us, we rise to the stars. Freedom is my only cause, duty to the people is my only guide, obedience to my prince, my only glory. The destruction of my enemies, my most solemn vow. I, Alloran-Semitur-Corrass, Andalite War-Prince, offer my life.>
There's an energy around him, some blend with grief and frustration where frustration is building. He paws the deck with a forehoof and shakes himself off, fur rousing, before he shifts an eyestalk, sees he's observed, and turns to face.
<Yes? Is there an issue?>
Wildcard
Anything else!

KP
She carefully pries the salt and vanilla from his hands, thoroughly flustered. Sampling the drano was bad enough - did he put drano in the salad, oh god -
"Those are not - half of this is garbage, okay?" She shakes her head, exasperated, and sweeps the salad mix off the counter and into a pail. "Since you put it in with regular food, now it's all garbage. I know this is all new to you, but you can't just add whatever you like! People could have gotten sick, eating that!"
She is maintaining through sheer grit the air of a primary school teacher with a very creative and challenging student. KP with the andalite has been an Experience.

Morphing
That's going to be hard to forget.
"...should I leave?"
In case there's more morphing to be done? While he does seem to be...done for now, what does Dojima know? Nothing, really.

[morning ritual]
He stumbles on Alloran by accident, honestly. Mac typically doesn't get up before ten, a habit he credits to working "late nights" but which is more a function of laziness and the fact that his alarm clock's been broken for half a decade. He's only awake now, here wandering the gardens, because the entirety of...this...has upset his usual routines and replaced deep drunken slumber with listless tossing and turning punctuated with intermittent and incoherent nightmares. As such, he's stretching his legs, slid into a non-regulation sleeveless uniform that he's missed a belt loop or two on. Stretching his legs and keeling around for company, which he finds in an unexpectedly inhuman and blue source.
"Amen." He presses his hands together and nods his head. "Dude, that's a hardcore psalm. Real badass."
