[Standing guard?? Huh. That was a kind gesture from a guy that had just been eager to beat the snot out of them. And it was a good thing that fight had been defused, too, because Morph was pretty sure the outcome would've left them as a smear of paste on the floor.]

Yeah, but I can go smaller and stay hidden while I'm resting. I won't be found if I don't want to be.

[Besides, Morph wasn't eager to extend quite that much trust to a stranger who hadn't listened to reason the first time around. Maybe they were on the same side in this fight, but that didn't mean the yokai wouldn't change his mind. Or decide it wasn't worth the trouble. No, Morph just needed a little time to shift into an animal form and find a hidey-hole to curl up in.]

Heh, you're a pretty nice guy after all. Look, you might as well get back to finding that seal. Once it's only gnosia left in the city... maybe we can band together and finally get out of here.
