An action done without thought.
Air through one set of lungs and out a set made completely different.
Simple as that.
Reza does this without worry. No fear in his movements. One second on two legs the next on four. The wolf was born into him, it’s heart pressed into every cell of his own. There is no barrier between them. It’s what makes this so easy for him.
He stretches his legs, letting his chest touch the dewy grass. The world feels so much more vivid when he shifts. The colors are muted in places but what he lacks in visual he makes up for with each sniff of his nose. It’s more intense now. Lines of smell that form vapour trails in his mind.

Ava. His brothers human.
Ava smiles at him and it looks warm like the fire still roaring in the fireplace. “I didn’t realize you were still in.” Her voice is accented like the others from Vallance.

“Wanted to watch them go. Better view from my window.” He shrugs, sitting down crossways in an arm chair. The old fabric of it still smells like cinnamon and flowery perfume. Distinctive smells of Ember. She must have been sitting there while she waited for the boys.
“Not going to join them tonight?” She sounds like his brother. Finn will have to start telling Reza off for brainwashing her into bugging him
