( such as it is, he does keep to his word, though he walks with just enough sound to be heard. he's not trying to be sneaky, and thus in the evening, he raps his knuckles against the door three times, in unhurried succession. he expects on some level this might be another jest (teasing, he finds, he's used to from this group of misfit chaos agents) but it's always worth treating it as if it isn't — easy to laugh it off either way, and more pleasant if it's genuine.
which is mostly to say that he's bathed and groomed and still looks like he rolled out of bed eyeblinks ago, with the exception of his shirt missing anything but artful wrinkles. of course, for all that he's not human, and looks exactly human when not in wolf form, he thus passes as human, unless one is sensitive enough to magical energies to realise he's practically a fountain of magic. endlessly generating and casting it off.
or if one scents a hint of wolf around him.
so there he is, standing, hands now loose and hanging at his sides, shirt baring throat and collarbone, sword not on his person, hair out of its queue to hand loose over his shoulders and down to the mid of his back, naturally curling and waving as it does so, pretty certain this...
