[Tobias tilts his head a little, watching Rachel silently for a moment. Then, suddenly, he drops from the tree and down to the ground, suddenly starting to morph before his talons even hit the grass. The feathers seem to be the first to go, leaving him looking a lot like a freshly plucked chicken for a few moments before his body begins to grow in size, bones shifting and growing as they become a lot less hollow. Fingers sprout from his wings and his talons meld together into feet and toes, sending him unceremoniously onto his side as he becomes a strange lump of limbs and bird parts.
After he grows into his limbs he gets to the point where he can stand up, shaking his head a bit to get his unruly hair out of his eyes, bending his fingers a bit once they've fully appeared. The last thing to disappear is his beak, which seems to be sucked back into his face to make way for a proper human mouth and teeth.
He quickly takes advantage of this to offer Rachel a weak smile.]
Don't worry about it. Flying isn't the only thing we can do.
