She walked up to Leo and hugged him. "I can keep the transformation up for a meal. Besides if we don't meet your friend he'll start to suspect that something is amiss. If it gets to be too much I can just act really tired and we can come back to the room. I'm sure that in my current condition he'll understand." She smiled at him. "You got me an hour to get my powers under control. That helps a lot, Leo." She leaned her head on his chest. Slowly reigning in her power her ears and tail slowly fade. "Leo." She says as her vision goes black.

He catches her as she leans into him more. He picks her up and carries her to the couch. Her head was placed on his lap. 'It's remarkable how her ears and tail just disappeared like they never existed. I'm forcing her to do something that she will struggle with. Why did a hunt have to happen here?' He could see her softly breathing in out like she was napping peacefully. He ran his hand through her hair and with his other hand, he flipped through his hunter book.

She woke up and looked into Leo's eyes. "I'm ready. My powers are contained for at least the next two maybe three hours if we are lucky. How long did I nap for?" She smiled sweetly at him and her green-blue eye sparkled.

"You were out for almost the whole hour. That will be more than enough time for us to have dinner with Will. We need to get dressed before he shows up at the door." He helped her sit up and they went to the bedroom. He opened his closet and pulled out two different sweaters one was a pale blue color and the other was black. He handed the blue one to her and he pulled the black one over his head. After that he pulled out his sweater he opened a different drawer. He pulled a pair of black sweats and gave them to her. "I hope these will do. I need you to be kept warm." He pulled out a pair of jeans for himself and put them on.@@
