It was clear that Silvano was getting quite frustrated with the fact that he was not succeeding thus far in getting his body to shift forms. The mother couldn't help but wonder if this hadn't been such a good idea, but then surely he would have been just as, if not more, disappointed if she had denied to give him any assistance or guidance. Savina could never turn her children down whenever they came to her for help, it was simply impossible. It was her job, as a parent, to do anything and everything for them, especially when they asked for it. Even if things weren't going as either of them had hoped she could never regret telling her son that she would try and help him through his first change.
She gave her son another encouraging smile as he said that he would listen to her advice about not trying so terribly hard. The tenser he was, the harder this all would be for him. Silvano needed to just relax and let things happen, unfortunately that was a bit against her boy's character. Savina watched as he made his new attempt, but unfortunately it yielded the same result as it had before: nothing. His inability to shift was clearly getting to him and his whine made her ears fold back once more. Savina got down from the bed and knelt on the floor, cupping her son's face in her hands. "I don't think you're doing anything wrong, caro." She knew that he didn't want to hear that it might not be the time, so she did not say that.
One more idea came to her though. She had no idea if it would help, but it was certainly worth a try. "How about I shift and you watch me? Maybe that could help somehow." There really wasn't much to see aside from the actual change itself, but she would do anything she could that might get him what he wanted. Savina scooted back a little and then let her body begin to shift back down to her four-legged form. The process was, for her, a quick one and in about a minute she was standing as a natural wolf. The mother looked back to her son. "Try now?" She hoped dearly that he wouldn't be disappointed again.
