At the human's first outburst, Grim stopped in his tracks to savor the taste of desperation and hopelessness. Yes, an excellent morning indeed. Turning, he dropped his Glimmer to reappear entirely, revealing now a truly demented smile.

[color=silver]"Wonderful. Max. Oscar. Napras. Yes... my Queen will certainly wish to meet you. Follow me, human, and we shall see what may be done to cure your ailments. The way is not overly long, but we must walk a good distance now. I trust you would have no difficulty following me in this form, but perhaps another would make you more... comfortable. A moment, please."[/color] Even as he spoke, Grimus' body began to blur and fade again, as though he might vanish once more. Instead the feline doubled over before standing tall as his body began to elongate and his fur flattened and seemed to meld together. Within a few moments, a dark-haired man in a well fitted suit had replaced the cat. Pushing dark glasses up the bridge of his nose, he smiles once more.

[color=silver]"Shall we? The Winter Queen awaits."[/color] Without further ado he turned on his heel, gesturing for Max to follow as he started off.
