Wormwood blinked and looked up when he heard Indie's footsteps approaching his side, and his attention was pulled away from the shifting cocoon in front of him. He was snapped out of his moody reverie by Indie asking him questions that he... honestly wasn't sure of the answers to. He supposed that Indie's first assumption made sense – after all, a large protective shell seems like the ideal place for someone to heal – but what Indie said afterwards was true. When the shell had initially started shifting, Worm had figured that it was just Delilah shifting in her sleep, or breathing, or snoring, or something along those lines, but... now it truly seemed like the whole shape of the shell was changing, permanently. Looking back at the cocoon, Worm pressed his paw back against it, wondering idly if he could feel the shifting or growing of Delilah's body. It was probably a silly thought, considering that when a Caterpillar was growing into a butterfly, it wasn't as if you could feel each individual change. Of course, caterpillars turned to goo when they were growing... and he very much hoped that Del wasn't goo right now. Shaking his head firmly, Worm rumbled after his long moment of thought, "...You could be right. I mean, this is just like a caterpillar's cocoon when they're shifting into a butterfly. Perhaps this is just some strange type of shapeshifting that requires more time to do? All of my transformations have been pretty immediate, but things could be different for Delilah. Especially considering this is made out of the same goop as her wings." Every time the guardsman had changed forms in the past, it had taken only a few seconds for his entire body to shift from massive lion to something else, but maybe this was just... different. New.
