Aha, he figured she would be scared by him, that was why he was so reluctant to tell her about this in the first place. He could see her digging her nails into the couch, and he could even tell her heartbeat had picked up- that was the thing when you were an animal, you could sense everything around you.

He slowly walked towards her, and he lowered his head, even his dog-like ears were lowered against him when he got closer. This could even be... puppy eyes here, since he just wanted her to see that he was still the same, just in different form. He went down on all fours, and his tail was up, and it was still wagging back and forth, a little faster now.

Oh, and have a small whine, why not.
