A small smile formed on Adrian's muzzle and he was nuzzled by her. He rested his head down on the floor, his ears still perked up to be able to hear anyone that approaches them. His eyes drifted closed, but he still remained on high alert for anything that approached. He took a deep breath, slowly releasing it in an attempt to completely relax himself. His ears twitched at the sound of her beginning to lick, understanding the reason behind it immediately. He resented the feeling of blood in his fur as well. When she suddenly silenced, his ears rotated to point at her, curious as to what was going on. When her voice appeared in his head, he quickly understood. He tapped his claws on the floor briefly, considering the answer. He normally didn't have a set amount of time, it varies for each shift he has and the level of his anger. The more often he gets angry while shifted, the longer he would stay shifted. At least in theory. He was just about to answer, and he opened his mouth, only to realize he couldn't talk. He grumbled slightly, turning his head to look at her, not sure how to communicate to her his answer. [@Arista]
