Melanie and Nikolaos are making their way through the trees when he sees something and knocks her to the ground. A moment later, someone's foot has caught her leg, and she lifts her head to see Crowley similarly sprawled on the forest floor.

"Oh," she says, and at the same time Nikolaos snaps, "Careful!"

There's a flicker of movement out of the corner of her eye, and Melanie turns to look at the fox. But he isn't a fox anymore. He's some kind of enormous creature, looming over her like an oncoming car, and he's giving Crowley a disapproving glare. Before Melanie can even speak, he says, "I know it's only Crowley, but he almost stepped on you. You could've bled."

That's a good point, but Melanie's still reeling from the fact that Nikolaos has just turned into a completely different animal as if it was nothing (never mind that he knows who Crowley is, somehow). "You changed!" she says, barely remembering to keep her voice down as she scrambles to her feet.

"I… did," he replies, sounding surprised by the fact, himself. He has to drop his head just for Melanie to be able to rub his nose easily. "Do you know what I am?" he asks in an undertone.

"No," Melanie admits, "but you're huge." Turning back to Crowley, she asks, "Do you know what Nikolaos is? Oh. And are you all right?"
