[Wash startles and fumbles backwards on the log when Shiro shifts again. Two minutes is not long enough to get used to that.]
Warn me next time!
[But he rights himself and gets back within arm's reach - a lot closer now that Shiro's that much bigger. He lays a hand on Shiro's paw, feeling like an idiot both for his reaction and for the fact that he's trying to figure out magic of all things, and concentrates anyway-]
[He's bigger - higher off the ground - in a body both not his own and not human, looking down at a stranger - Sam, he knows, but it's not really him, is it-
['What do you need me to do?']
[Sam touches a hand to his nose as if in response, and there's a sudden shrinking feeling]
[Wash yanks his hand backwards, nearly overbalancing himself right off the log, but he doesn't care, because that wasn't his. He's pretty sure he knows exactly what that was - he's spent too long sorting through Epsilon's hellscape of a memory not to know what someone else's memories look like from the inside - but he doesn't want to believe it. Out of all the magic powers in this goddamn dimension, he refuses to believe he got saddled with this.]
