"Oh, you're back to normal! When'd that happen?" Wormwood was surprised when the first one to approach him was Feza, not only because the two of them had a very tumultuous relationship, but also because he hadn't known the snow leopard to be much of a fighter. After all, she hadn't shown up to any of the fights or skirmishes against the Pitt thus far, and hadn't been present at all for the rescue as far as he knew, in addition to the fact that Feza had shown up to his fighting class before and claimed to not really know anything. He blinked at her for a couple of moments, opening his mouth to respond to her initial question, but she had already moved onto the next think, asking if it was like his self defense course that he had hosted a bit ago. He chuckled, going to answer yet again, but Feza was already off to the next thing, her thoughts seeming to bounce from place to place and grabbing her attention so rapidly that Worm could hardly even begin to follow. He decided to just wait until Feza had finally decided to stop speaking, the silence stretching between them for a long moment, before he finally spoke up, his tail flicking back and forth as he tilted his head to one side, "To answer your first question – I've been able to shift back for about a day now, not very long. Apparently somebody caused my transformation into the hellhound, which was why I couldn't change back. But Red.... got rid of him, so now I can go back and forth. And trust me, I highly prefer this form. Although... I'm not as used to it anymore, since I've been out of it for a while. That's why I wanted to do this, ya know? Get used to fighting as a lion again before the big fight against the Pitt."
He opened his muzzle once again to tell Feza that they could try sparring, when Crow approached. He noticed the way that the leader's gaze held on his bandaged up eye for a long moment, and he looked down, feeling a bit of a flush of shame coming up beneath his fur. He knew that it wasn't as if he had lost his eye from losing a battle, it had just been Beck lashing out, but he still couldn't help it. It felt like he had failed somehow. Failed Beck, and failed Tanglewood. A sigh left him, but he quickly shook it off, saying with an only slightly forced smile to Crow, wanting to cheer him up since he knew that the group leader had been going through a rough time, "That's fine Crow, I understand. I'm sure others will show up to make sure you're all trained up." Hw then said, turning to Feza and trotting a bit away from Crow and to the more open part of the area, a sly little smile on his face, "You can spar with me if you really want to, Feza. The only rules are that we can't seriously injure each other, and that we can't use powers." That was more of a rule for himself than her, since he hadn't seen her use any powers offensively, but he was finally starting to get a hold of his flame elemental powers these days. Still, he didn't want to cause any serious damage to anybody. He just wanted some experience fighting with only the one eye, which he knew Feza could take advantage of if she was smart – which he wasn't really sure she was, at least in terms of battle, "You can make the first move."
