[Hold your horses, buddy. She moves her hands to the collar, yes, but rather than remove the leash she stops, looking him in the eye.]

I have to go get something for when you change back. I want you to stay in here, got it?

[His ears flick forward as he tries to figure out what she would be getting, before he realizes it's most likely clothing. So he just nods, then leans in to bump her chin with his nose. Enjoy the wet.]

[Among other things, but yes. Clothes are a priority here. She snorts at that, pulling her face away from his and trying not to grin. He should hear if not feel the leash being removed from the collar.]

Alright. There. You're free.

[He nudges her once in a sort of "see you" gesture and then takes off, limping but definitely fast.]

[She'll watch him go before turning and exiting the room, shutting the door behind her. It's tempting to put up some sort of barrier, but he does seem to be in something of his right mind this way, so... She'll just make sure she's fast, and run the entire time to get the things she needs.]

[When she returns, he'll be wiggling around on his back on some grass a good distance from the door. ~~Shut up it's totally a canine thing.~~]

[You know what, she's just going to stare for a minute, and try not to laugh. Once she's reeled in the amusement, she shrugs the large bag she brought back off of her shoulder and drops it by the door.]

[He pauses mid-wiggle, head raising as he looks over at her. Then he's rolling over and standing, heading over on all fours to say hi.]

[Well hello there. She just shuts the door and leans against it. He's going to be pissed at her when he's human if he remembers her being this amused, isn't he?]

[He'll mostly remember all this, and won't really blame her for being amused. She might get frowns though.]

[Like that's anything new. What if he gets ear pets when he's close enough?]

[Then she'll get him closing his eyes and leaning into it.]

[Earscritches are go. She feels totally justified after all that time he spent petting her when she was a cat.]

[If she gets brave enough, she should try to find his leg-thumping spot. ~~Hint, it's along the edge of his ribs.~~]

[Unfortunately, despite his behavior, Riku can't get over the fact that this is Red, and is not actually planning on putting her hands too far down.]

[Sad- I mean. After a bit more of that, he'll pull away and head back out a bit to the flop down in the grass.]

[She'll follow him at a little distance, hands in her pockets, idly wondering how long he'll stay transformed this time.]

[Again, it'll only be a few hours. He'll spend a lot of that time lazing around.]

[She's okay with that. It's better than him lying stuck in place because of pain. She'll just keep him company during that time, maybe climb a tree to watch the place.]

[It's too bad there's nothing for him to chase in here!]

[If they had chickens around here somewhere she might sacrifice one for him. Alas. The chocobo are off-limits, man.]

[He wouldn't go after chocobos anyway, that's just stupid. But yes, after a few hours of generally just acting like a ~~doofus~~ canine, he'll abruptly fall over as the change kicks in.]

[At which point she will make a run for the door -- or, more specifically, the bag she left next to it.]

[He'll just be over here doing the whole screaming and transforming thing. Once he's done, he'll take a moment to catch his breath, mostly face down. The collar's still on him, because I this place has a terrible sense of humour.]

[Hopefully he won't be too startled when she appears suddenly, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder.]
