It had been downright torture to see Nisia's fully naked body in front of him for he'd never seen it before but he knew that with the leopards watching it would not be professional to stare at her any longer than necessary. However, if they'd been alone Kip might have done more than just help her out, he would have lost himself in the vision that was Nisia's body.<br/><br/>Trying to forget about that, Kip concentrated on helping Nisia shift back into the form she was most comfortable in, the form that she needed to shift into at least once a day, preferably three times a day that was the average. If they didn't they would begin to experience headaches, fever and nausea along with other symptoms and if the shift was denied for longer than three years it was worse.<br/><br/>She would at first seem to get better and then they would fall into a constant state of sickness that nothing would be able to cure. During this time there was a one year period where they would have enough strength to shift into their leopard form and if they shifted at any point in this time they would recover but if they still didn't and the period passed, they would fall into a coma.<br/><br/>There were treatments to bring them out of this stage and back to the previous stage but in order for them to work they had to get the afflicted being in the first three days they had fallen into a coma. If they didn't the shifter would die within a week. Nisia had been gone almost three years since she disappeared two years ago and Kip had been gone for almost three so she had been dangerously close to the first part.<br/><br/>Kip was glad that he had found Nisia when he had for it seemed as though she was going to get better quite fast now that they were trying to make her shift. He listened when she told him that she had woken up on the cliff edge and they hadn't ever left her side, it sounded as though they recognized Nisia as kin and felt bound to protect her since she had not been able to take care of herself.<br/><br/>He nodded when she told him that she was going to try it and hoped for the best. This could be her cure if she managed it. He knew she had found the switch when she cried out and the change started and he saw her bones crack and reform and then a few moments later he was staring at a beautiful leopard. "That's my Nisia." Kip murmured almost inaudibly as he gazed at the stunning vision of the princess who was now in her natural form and looked down at her as he felt her rub against his leg and he heard her voice in his mind.<br/><br/>It was something all leopards could do, speak to one another in their mind but it only worked over a certain distance, if they were in the same general area they could communicate with each other. However, if Kip was back at the Clan and Nisia was still here in the woods the distance was too great and they wouldn't be able to find each other mentally.<em>"Nisia. How does it feel?"</em><br/><br/>He inquired mentally as he looked down at the leopard she had become.
