Desi giggled as a string of drool ran from between Roran's lips. It was just about the same reaction she had had herself. He stared at it, as though trying to get it to levitate from between her fingers to his stomach, but he did not shift, and he was a bit lower to the ground than she would have figured he could jump for it.
Then he flat out asked if she could hold it down a little more, and Desi knew something was up. Was he not able to shift yet? He looked old enough to have begun shifting; even she had been shifting by the time she was as (relatively) big as he, and she had been a late bloomer. Still, to be safe, she asked, as she crouched and opened the plastic for him.
Here you go. Uhm.. I hope you don't mind me asking, but, can't you shift?
