The Sea Panther gives Colt a snort as if to say "Me too." Being a mode of transportation isn't on Grimm's list of enjoyable activities, and he would rather like to avoid doing that again. He can still feel the warm echo of her pressed against his back as she pinwheels to the ground, his fur giving a subtle ripple in answer to the breathability her absence brings back. He even straightens his shoulders, feeling lighter without her to weight him down.
Surprisingly, their powerful display of shifts appears to frighten the thieves - along with a convincing argument from the Ancient who looks ready to tear into them. Grimm holds his ground in case any of them get a funny idea to throw something or strike out, but the situation appears to be well under control before they know it.
Although he doesn't like taking commands from people, there is still a job to be done, and he shifts back with a glower sent in everyone's general direction. The Ancient for giving orders, Colt for daring to ride him, the thieves for inconveniencing him as a whole. But he sets his jaw and grabs a coil of rope from the back of the wagon, ready to wrangle some criminals.
