[Matthew has never been a terribly polite person. He matches Drew's grin in a knowing sort of way, casually moving his hand to graze Drew's hip.]
I won't take off without you. Then again, between you and me, I might need a head-start.
[He steps back just a little; he's never witnessed a werewolf shift, but figures a bit of distance might do him well. He takes a split second to be fascinated by those glowing eyes before he counts down:]
One ... two ... three.
[Matthew's own shift is not instant, but it is sudden. In the same moment of time, his skin darkens to black and his limbs shrink and contort; it takes almost no time at all before his body has gone from attractive, scarred-up Matthew Lin to an unsettlingly large house-cat. That is, large for a cat; he can't weigh more than 15 or 16 pounds. He's black, hairless and wrinkled, with a long, rat-like tail and exaggerated claws. But most striking and ugly of all are the three pairs of yellow eyes, aligned vertically, making six in total. They blink out of sync with one another, as Matthew the Cat (Catthew, one might say) now stands much shorter than before, looking up at Drew as the werewolf presumably completes his own shift.]
