Ayita grumbled at Jacob's assumption of her form being some prank. Though she did retreat from the people, the tiger side of her annoyed and worried about these new threats. Struggling between instinct and the sheer wonder of this form Ayite sat focusing on shifting. Trying to anways, a human foem was so weak and slow, far less enjoyable than the tiger she wore. The need to hunt, to run only increased when Christopher 'fled' as the tiger saw it. Craahing her will down on the inatincts the ahifter held herself in place, cursing her forgetfulness about tigers and herself. The raven had taken her strongly and ahe supposed if she ever took the form of the great orca it would be just the same. The tiger was a powerful beast, and she was a tiger. Sorting through that to reach human form would take time. Til then she was stuck.

Casting apologetic look, or what she hoped counted as a apologetic look towards the two newcomers, Ayita withdrew into herself. Sorting through what was tiger and what was something else. More thab once she set aside feather as dark as night and wicked gleaming black eyes, the raven ever present in her mind.Disgusted, Ayita lurched to her feet trotting out behind the panicked boy as she attempted to squeeze between the two blocking her way, snatch up her bag and hit a retreat to her den- room, she shrieked at the instincts. 

[i]"Blasted idiot. Not a prank, i dont do pranks. I'm going to bite someone at this rate. Fleas, now pranks!"[/i] Ayita gave a disgusted grumble very characteristic of her. [i]"I knew coming here was a bad idea. I was better off up North. Less people."[/i] If a anyone peered inside her mind telepathically or otherwise they would find a raging sea of tiger instinct and Ayita struggling to swim abreast of it and piece herself together. The excitement and fury the flea comment off set a wave of the need to hunt and run down her prey. Though with the barrier effect it was more along the lines of tackle and bat.
