It was sort of a hard thing to fully explain. It was an innate ability they all shared. Once Silvano made it through his first shift it would become easier and easier until he would be able to transform without barely any effort on his part. The first shift was the hill he had to climb though. Her son questioned her, asking if that really was all that he needed to do and adding that he had, in fact, tried so before. "That is the best way I can think to explain it," she answered, wishing that she could provide more descriptive instructions for him. "Maybe it just wasn't the right time when you tried before. Like I said, your body has to be ready for the change to happen." It couldn't be forced, at least it shouldn't be. Perhaps in a stressful situation it could be forced, but that was certainly not the kind of experience she wanted for him.
"Right," she said encouragingly. Silvano shook himself out and then shut his eyes. The mother watched anxiously, waiting to see if something would start to happen with baited breath. As time ticked slowly by though, nothing happened, and she could see her son becoming more and more tense as the moments passed with no change. Finally he released the air that he had been holding and, seeing no change in himself, cursed loudly. Savina's ears fell back sympathetically, but she thought she might have found her son's problem. "Silvano, penso che forse lei prova troppo duro, caro. Lei non dovrebbe provare a forzarlo. Appena con calma concentrarsi su esso e lasciarlo succede." Maybe it just wasn't the right time, but the Italian fey had a feeling that if her son just stopped trying so terribly hard that it would happen for him.
