There was a rather low growl in response to the appearance of the axe wielding man, they had not had the time needed to rest and gather themselves before a potential challenge reared its ugly head once more. While he himself was not too far gone outside of this form, he was not entirely sure about his other comrades. Despite his weakened state, healed a bit by Kyra, he stood up tall and planted his feet as golden eyes focused on the man before them, ready to leap forward should anyone with him deem it fit to fight rather than agree and follow deeper within the den of those whom they deemed an enemy. Sure this form would probably not be able to properly survive a hit before being forced to melt away, but it was better than having to deal with this man in his normal form, or wasting the ability to turn into another for the time being. No, he would use this tiger for the time being until it could no longer fight or until they were safe, chances were it would be forced from him though.
