Francis didn't seem at all surprised when the transformation began. he had done this in front of a mirror before, so it was nothing new to him. That is until her form was revealed to be a snow leopard. at this realization, his fur stood on end and he backed away, that is until she lowered herself to the floor. he then said in the universal language of the animal kingdom, "Please don't try to eat me. It... Doesn't end well for the things that do."<br/><br/>He was still shivering slightly as he approached her form. "You won't try to eat me will you?" he asked. he was still<span style="font-style: italic">very</span>afraid of her now that he knew what her animal form was. Not so much because of the Predator aspect, but because Half Breeds-as far as he knew- had powers beyond what their form indicated.<br/><br/>Suddenly there was the sound of a gunshot outside, and the cute fox got a little more ferocious looking. He turned and ran toward the door, his tail flinging a small roll of tapeless duct tape he got from seemingly nowhere outside. When it hit the ground, it seemed to expand around the cabin and form a huge wall. There was no apparent change to the inside of the wall, but the outside was a different story. Expanding from the roll of tape was a thirty foot forest wall that was so dense, that no one could see two feet into it.<br/><br/>"That will last until the hunters are two miles away." he told Elin, "If you need me, I'll be in my room. Please knock if you want something." He suddenly turned even more ferocious and gained an inch in height, then ran into the room and pulled the door shut using a small protruding nail near the bottom of the door.
