Taking the tail in hand, Eric looks in awe for a minute or two, until a sudden pain grips him from all four of his limbs. His nails began darkening slightly and edging into lethal weapons. Slowly but surely his feet thin and the palms of his hands darken. Moments later, his fingers begin digressing back towards his hands and become larger in substitution for the lack of length. Eric finds that his hands and feet have changed, and match his feline tail, all of which happened in a matter of minutes. Not comprehending what's fully happening to him, Eric just buries his face in his paws trying to wish away all these new changes.
