Riley didn't let the tension go out of his shoulders until Tao's back was to it. He felt something in his chest like hurt, but pushed it away in favor of anger. He glared at the small of Tao's back, swallowed, and then shifted to roll off of the bed. When he landed on the floor, he was on all fours and all of those fours were small and yellow, with short nails that clacked on the floor. Better to shift, to keep himself quiet and bottled and then take his frustration out on a poor, defenseless tree later. He trotted from beside the bed to the edge of the tub and then turned around, his head raised high to look at Tao. He let out a whuf of air and padded to the vampire's side.
