– NATE –
There is something entirely too human about the dog, the way it watches him, waits. The way it understands what it is he says, what it is he's doing. And it finally, finally has something clicking in Nate's head, an association, an assumption he should have made far earlier. An attuned. Though that still leaves him in a lurch, the other clearly not in the mood to shift back, probably not in the mood to talk at all. A pity, because Nate has a trick up his sleeve.
Shifting, especially fully, still comes awkwardly to him, the trick of it something Nate has yet to learn, but at the end of his efforts, he has managed to shift into a panther, sitting neatly at the very edge of the sea, a wide berth still between him and the other. A single eye, still blue, roams over the dog, before Nate tentatively reaches out, only barely understanding how the attuned telepathy works. Did... you want a hand with your cleaning?
It feels a little safer to ask immediately, instead of faffing about with small talk, with wasting both of their time. Would be safest to just take the chance to walk along, he's sure, but there is a part of him that refuses to leave well enough alone.
