Rhyas didn't hug her back as he was confused at the action but he looked away and nodded. The fights in his panther form hurt more than they did when he was a "human", his eyes shut and he twitched his ear. He smiled a little at he compliment before looking at her, "Till I am better I will mainly stay in my smaller form or my main." he waited till she was back enough before his eyes closed and his tail flicked, "Sometimes... I wish they never used me to fight... And sometimes... I am glad- it taught me defense and more."<br/><br/>His bones cracked as his hands began to warp and twist into the paws of a cat, the fingers bent and curled and soon black fur pushed out to cover his hands. his legs buckled and he knelt down and the began to merge onto his body. Rhyas' legs soon warped as his torso began the same shift as did his face and neck. It looked painful but to him it wasn't. When he was finished his back fur glinted and shimmered save for the darkened areas where he had scars. His front legs had thin scars and his back left leg had an imprint from a fur covered scar. His neck had none save for his ear. His snout had a scar and so did his lip. Only his back, ribs, and tail had no scars.<br/><br/>Walking over to her he stood on his hind legs and put his paws on her shoulders, licking her cheek with a purr before nuzzling her. His purple eyes glinted as he moved and was on all fours again. He walked around the room stretching before jumping onto the bed and curled up. A deep rumbled pure came from his throat as he laid down. His form was still handsome and held a dangerous beauty to it even though he was gentle too. Yawning the panther looked at her before rolling on it's side and flicking it's tail with a big stretch. It was plum near lucky his dark fur hid most of the scars.
