Bast shut her eyes and took a few deep breaths, planning to count to ten before going after Loki.

One nile-crocodile, two nile-crocodile, three - screw it. She never was much good at counting. A few steps and she was beside the god, tail dragging apologetically.

//I'm sorry.// She told him sincerly, giving him 'kitten eyes' for full effect. //I'm really, really, really sorry. I just - it's driving me insane. Completely. I'm scared of going the same way as Horus and I promised Uriel I wouldn't leave and I can't speak human like this or go after anyone and everytime I try to shift either way I just go back to this and it hurts...//

She slumped down against the wall, not even looking at him. //I can't stay like this.//
