In the form of the cat, she felt toasty warm.  She stretched slowly, getting a feel for her new body.  Turning away from Alurian she raced away from him across the clearing, when she reached the the edge of the circle she turned sharply to the right and ran back around to his side.<br/><br/>As she passed him she butted him on the leg with her head and rubbed her body along the back of his legs, her long fluffy tail curling around his thigh.  She could feel the leopards instinct struggling to take over, and she relinquished her control and allowing the cat to take control.  She bounded up a tree and curled into a loose ball over Alurians head, her tail wrapped around her and curled over her nose and mouth.  She sat there for a few minutes smelling the breeze around her, but when the cat did not seem inclined to do anything but lay there, she took control again and headed down the tree and back to his side.  She sat at his side tail curled around feet and opened her mouth to ask him a question, when nothing came out of her mouth, she closed her eyes and stepped back through the white light, and felt herself transforming back into a person.<br/><br/>When she opened her eyes again, she smiled at him and said, "That was really cool."  Without the fur to protect her, she could feel the chill in the air again, she wrapped her arms around herself and stepped a little closer to absorb some of his body heat.  "Umm, do you live near here?  I am tried and hungry. Can we go."
