The man and cat walked to the door when Ravi paused, 'You can shapeshift, right?"
He was afraid. Ravi could see it, the way he tensed, the hesitation in his eyes. He squatted down and picked up a small piece of sand from the ground, "Your power is like this to me. I do not need it so I would not take advantage of you. I want to become a bit smaller so you can fit into my pocket. I don't have a carrier. If you do not want to, we can go in, I will make you lunch then go shopping by myself."
He waited for a response. A minute later, the body started contorting until a smaller version of the kitten was lying on the ground. Ravi picked it up and kept it in his left pocket. Its furry head peered out of the pocket, looking around curiously.
