[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.]

[He jerks a bit, shifting so he can look at her without showing off his front too much.]

[Her eyes are closed -- she's relying on her senses alone for navigation, which is fairly easy for her. She has a potion in her other hand, though.]

Hey.

[He grunts and shifts again, attempting to sit up. He'll be able to cover himself with a hand that way while still being able to take the potion.]

Hey.

[That hand on his shoulder tightens marginally, a warning for him not to push it.]

Take it easy.

I'm fine.

[Well, she can probably tell that's a lie, really, but. he's better than he was last time, for sure.]
