Kip let Rain sniff his arm and hand for this was a normal thing they tended to do in order to figure out if someone had good or bad intentions. It also was the process they used to see if someone had connections with another being which was probably what Rain was doing at the moment since she most likely already suspected he had good intentions considering Nisia's reaction to him. Kip reached out to prop Nisia up when Rain nudged her nose beneath the body of the princess, pushing her towards him and he ran his fingers through her sweaty damp hair as he tried to urge her into consciousness. Or at least for a few minutes.<br/><br/>"Nisia. Come back to me. You have to listen if you want to get well again."<br/><br/>He told her and waited for the female to respond in some way. After a few seconds he saw Nisia's eyes flutter and open slightly and heard her speak and he nodded, looking down at her as he continued to hold her up in his arms.<br/><br/>"I'm here, Nisia. You want to give it a try?"<br/><br/>Kip asked and nodded when she told him to help her through this and looked over at Linx and Rain when Nisia introduced him to them. Kip inclined his head to each leopard. They were kin. Even if they weren't shifters themselves they were related to their race and deserved respect.<br/><br/>"They've been helping you through this all this time, I'm grateful to them."<br/><br/>Kip said, looking at Rain and Linx and then returned his attention back to Nisia for now was not the time for introductions, now she needed to shift or else she was going to need a healer since putting off shifting was not a wise thing. It could make you very sick.<br/><br/>"Okay, Nisia. Picture a leopard in your mind and then reach inside you and find that piece of yourself that feels as though it is you. When you do that the image will change to that of your shifter image in your head. Focus on the image and then<em>want</em>to become that leopard and give everything of yourself over to it. Your body should change and it might hurt for a brief moment because your bones will change but it should be gone in a matter of seconds. Once you're in shifter form you can keep the form as long as you want, as long as you are conscious even a little bit. If you go unconscious you will revert back to your old form. If you want to shift back to human form just repeat the same process but think of yourself as human. Go ahead and give it a try."<br/><br/>Kip said as he waited to see if Nisia would be able to hang onto consciousness long enough to try and do it. If she did, her headache, fever and everything else would go away instantly.
