Alyosha looked at her paw then down, at her then down. He blinked, finally getting her message. For someone who wanted to run in the wilds with only fur covering her she was pretty easily .. embarrassed?
He got to his feet and walked over to a small chest in the corner, pulling on a pair of loose black jeand and walked back over to her. "There. Happy?" It didn't feel at all talking to a cat. He was used to interacting with shifters so he wasn't particularly phased. Except that she didn't seem to be able to shift otherwise she surely would have by now.
Surely.

She nods and then looks around. There had to be a way to spell this out for him. Hmmm... after a moment she stands and walks towards the living room, as if looking for something in particular. No, no... aha! There was one good part about being a cat... jumping. After backing up several paces she does a running jump onto his table and looks around.
Pencil! Oh sweet mercy, a pencil! After carefully picking it up with her mouth she tilts her entire head to the side in order to write with it... which looks quite ridiculous, actually... and ends up with her writing a big scribble on his desk. crying This was mean.
As she steps on it she realizes something... lead smudge! She scribbles on the table and then rubs her paw in it furiously, then triumphantly moves to write on the table with smudged lead something that looks like "SIUCK." There wasn't enough lead smudge to cross her "t."

"SIUCK" he read, puzzling. He had no clue what this was supposed to mean. Maybe some word he wasn't familiar with, some wierd terminology for what was wrong with her. He had no clue at all but could see her problems were stemming from not having enough to write with.
He blinked and then jumped up, crossing the room once more. From one of the many cabinet drawers he pulled out a big ink pad and brought it back over to her, opening it and sitting it near her paws in the hope it'd make things a little more understandable.

After joyously pressing her paw into the ink several times she used the entire desk (nosing everything off it to do so) to spell out "STUCK." Her "S" and "C" were especially large, but at least this would get across the idea she was not in this form willingly, nor was she able to get out of it willingly.
After she had done this she laid down and looked at him for some recognition, maybe even an answer. For one brief moment it occured to him he might want an explanation as to how this happened, and she was glad for a moment that she was a cat and unable to explain. It gave her time to come up with a more elusive answer.
"Mew?"

Stuck. Ah. that made more sense. So she was unable to shift from this form. Wondering how she had gotten herself into it he shifted position, eyeing the ink all over his table.
"So... you're stuck like this hmm? I must say it's quite the improvement..." he quipped. "So.. " he said, changing tack quickly at her murderous glare. "How are we going to get you out of this mess? Can we, even?"

At first she was angry, but the question that followed quickly made her look more... sad. Her ears lowered and she laid back down, head on her paws. If there were an easy way out of this that she knew of, surely she would have done it, no? Besides, weren't kitsune supposed to be tricksters? This was a trick! He should know about this.
I have to say, I almost agree with him... although you're much more ineffective. -_- Evil, evil man. If there was a way to give him the finger, she most certainly would.

Alyosha was curious now, his ears and nose were more open to sound and smell than they were in his relaxed state and his mind was poring over how she could have gotten into this state.
With no answer forthcoming he grabbed for her, picking her up once more, this time careful to hold her out of reach of everything but his arm. A few cat scratches wouldn't harm him so much on his hand.
His other hand reached forward, clasping just behind her jaw and ear. He swivelled her round, letting her drop into the circle his hand had made, fingers clasping tightly around her throat. He'd found that, in many cases, adversity prompted a reversal of both magical and physical transformations.
He wasn't really going to strangle her, but she didn't know that. His fingers tightened.

At first she simply flailed around, clawing wildly at the air, and hissing with what little breath she could actually exhale considering her wind pipe was closed. Her mind raced. He was going to kill her. Kill her! She had come for help and he was going to... LIKE HELL!
Now, the incubus had been ready to reverse his spell for a price, but he hadn't prepared for the fact that this half-demon was going to try to strangle his charge... well, more like his little killing servant than a "charge."
It all happened so fast it was hard to tell what happened first... but two things happened. First she swelled with such a dark, rich magic that it could not be her own, for it was untainted with the dashes of heart, hope, faith, and other righteous notions. Secondly, her body swelled of her own accord (completely naked mind you) into her form so that when her arm came back she grabbed onto his to twist it and forcibly make her go.

Alyosha let go, pulling his lithe arm back fast, out of her reach. He half leapt across the room, into a four limbed defensive posture. It had worked allright but now he was a little concerned with the mood she'd be in. It seemed.... unamused to say the least.
"Sy.." he muttered quietly. Slwoly he raised himself to his feet, arms out in a conciliatory gesture "I didn't know what else to try. I wasn't really..." he caught the look in her eyes and quieted himself.
He was unarmed and had his hands where she culd see them. Acting in a non threatening manner would hopefully quell any desire she had to rip any limb from him.

She didn't deny the urge to strangle him, but she was more conflicted over killing him because it seemed that the incubus wished it. For a moment a sort of apathetic gaze crossed her face, as if she could just as easily maim as forgive, but as the evil synergies left her and washed away she felt more herself.
"Do you know that I've been strangled twice, run into a wall, and run over in the last 48 hours? Strangled twice! No, three times." While she was tempted to say more, he had, after all, caused her to go back into her original form without forming any contract with the incubus.
confused eek !!! Suddenly there was draft. A really cold, very noticable draft. And she screamed as loud and as high as there was ever a scream! "Don't look! Stop! Pervert!" And with that she started to hurl everything within grasp at him with an amazing burst of energy. Hey, she wasn't that kind of demon.
Usually.

Alyosha looked at her blankly for a moment, wondering what in earth he wasn't supposed to look at, also vaguely wondering who else had tried to strangle her in the past day. Maybe she had an overly enthusiastic partner or some such. Oh well.
A pencil whizzed past his face, bringing him back to reality very sharply. He ducked down, hair falling over his afce and arms covering himself protectively. Obviously she wasn't a happy bunny. Kitty. Whatever. OUCH

She grabbed some poor, misshapen excuse for a beanbag chair and tried to cover herself with it so that her... well.. unspeakables weren't showing. The nerve of some men.. of all men it seemed as of late. Still in a huff she realized she had the poor man cowering on his own floor. Well. It wasn't entirely his fault, but he COULD have thought to look away or offer clothes by now.
"I'm starting to think ever man with a hint of demon blood wants me naked, dead, or both," she muttered to herself, not taking entirely into account how good of hearing he had. Not that it really mattered- it was true.
Well, this was uncomfortable. Sitting in the middle of a guy's house, naked, and... ugh... her head hurt. >_< Too much energy spent for one day with strangling and getting some weird boost of evilness.
"If you're going to try to kill me, next time be more original. Men always try to use brute force and strangle when they take on women. Never a gun... sometimes a knife, but usually some strangulation attempt. Gives a sense of power I suppose...." She stopped rambling a minute to stifle a yawn. "I don't suppose you have women's clothes?"

Oh, that was it, she was naked, his sensitive ears picked up. Geh, he didn't have the slightest inclination to look at her naked body even though she seemed to think otherwise. "Don't flatter yourself" he said, snickering.
To her next words he pondered. "I usually use a knife", he murmered, then going over to the chest where he had gotten his own clothes from.
"No womens apparel i'm afraid" he said with a little more cheer than was possibly necessary. "But I have a shirt and some trousers... They may be a little big but.." he peeked over at her, trying to cover her modesty with the beanbag. "They'll do?"

"They'll do. I'll try to keep them clean.. I can return them after I go home and clean up." She rubbed her neck without much thinking, and there was a clear line there now where it looked like a wire had crossed her throat and dug into her skin a day or so ago. As her fingers lightly crossed the throat she winced mentally... crap, she'd have to think up something lame to say about how she got that. >_<
"I'm sorry... I didn't really know where to go, and when I got in the center that woman tormented me calling me kitty and trying to take me home. I kinda ran in here to hide and rest a little... ^^;; I sort of fell asleep unintentionally. I didn't think you'd want company, so I was going to leave as soon as I woke..." She was rambling, but it kept him from asking questions for now.

He simply nodded. It was obvious she didn't want to tell him exactly what had happened. She was skirting the issue. He decidely ignored the bruising on her neck and walked through to the kitchen, bring back through some water.
Taking a few sips, he sat down. He had realised it was futile to ask her if she wanted anything, she never did.
