"I'm not leaving you to shift on your own, assassin," Rhyfalim quietly replied, his blade still ready to be swung at a moment's notice. "Not with how close we are to Smutt and Drayce. I will stand watch, and follow you if you should run. But, should you lose your mind while transformed, and attempt to attack either myself or members of our party, I will be forced to use my blade. And trust me, I can use it well."
As he explained his purpose in being there, and Kivuli continued to fight her transformation - causing more and more agony - Rhyf rolled his shoulders, loosening his body to be ready for whatever came next. "But, unless worse comes to worst," he continued, hoping she still heard him, "you will eventually revert to your normal self and retrieve your belongings. Then, we will meet up with the others in Dawnstar. Provided nothing happens to them along the way."
To make sure he was understood, Rhyf settled back against the tree, and respectfully shut his eyes as Kivuli continued to remove her gear, though he was still ready to defend himself if push came to shove.
