Good god, MonsieurShade, what did you just pull that straight from a book, it was exquisite.

as far as scaring the pajamas off of the skeptic goes, someone please do, if only so we can all imagine the horror and awe on his face when a human in front of him turns into a leopard, or a demon hound. Although our resident paladin would probably hear the screaming from across town, that might be no bueno for whichever poor creature got in her way to save the skeptic, although she IS wearing headphones, and it sounded as though they were fairly loud........

Edit: tonight is brooding Drake night, most of the time he probably won't be like this, tonight he is.
