Collette circled down lower still, coming to an awkward landing close to Frodo. Bats aren't meant to walk at the best of times. This bat, smaller than an adult human's hand in length, walked forward and sat primply on the dirt floor of the cavern.
< Hello! Um, okay, try not to totally freak out or anything, but to talk to you normally I'm going to have to change back to a girl. You're seriously not going to want to watch that, but if you do, this is my warning that I warned you not to look! >
She had yet to grasp a way to actively dissuade others from observing her through a morph, though a handful had been wise enough to heed her words. Mystique, primarily, and Vanadi after the first time. Picturing herself in her mind, Collette felt herself starting to grow, the first change this time being size. The bat's face starts subtly shifting back to human, then grossly exaggerates -- the nose moving down her face and trning from brown to her usual skin tone even as the ears rounded and gained more human definition.
The thin membranes of her wings pulled in along her still too long arms, leaving them bare, frighteningly long fingers. Fur recedes, leaving her with pink skin that darkens to her own shade as her patched-together leotard emerges. Hair pushes out from the top and back of her skull as her eyes shift position, more forward facing and turning into her natural shade of brown.
Her legs jut out with claws slowly resolving into toes, splitting a fifth out at the corner as Collette ends up falling on her side. A beat later her arms are proportionate, fingers pulling back as she loses the last vestiges of a bat and is left as an entirely human girl.
Collette pushed herself up off the ground, taking care to arrange herself and make it seem she was sitting out of voluntary choice. It's one way to show she's paying attention. "All done," she announces softly, her lips curling up at the corners into an uncertain smile.
