Topher's still (or possibly again) in his dragon-centaur shape. Four scaly clawed legs, long tail, giant leathery wings, horns on his head, the whole shebang. And still with his human torso shirtless, although it had occurred to him to do some badass armour or something, but he hasn't bothered.

He's also in a very pleasant mood, so he doesn't notice Gabriel's presence - even though it's one of the people he's usually intensely on the lookout for, just so he can avoid them. For now completely oblivious, he approaches the water some ways down from where Gabriel's sitting, and settles down in the grass, looking out across the ocean and wondering if he should take a water-based shape again.
