Alex opened his eyes and did everyting he could to not fall over. He bent over a small bit and tried not to grab the table. As he did so, he registered soemthing being spoken.
Shadow tears strips of the towels and wraps them around both her hand and Alex's. She gets up and lays him down pressing a damp strip of towel on his forehead.
Shadow walks over to the sink and gets Alex a glass of water. "Here, drink this slowly." As she hands it to him, a small smile still visible on her face.
Shadow laughs. "Yes, you are. Now why don't you try shifting, choose any animal you want. Except for mythical types, those take a load of practice." She sits next to him and scratches behind his ear.
