He wondered what happened to it that it's still bleeding.

He gave another reassuring smile. "Nothing from any hunter, but it's starting to get dark. If we don't get out of here, we're going to either have rangers looking for us or my car's gonna get locked in for the night. We should really get moving...I can take you somewhere if you have a safe place you can go?"

He paused, a questioning look on his face. "Are you always a leopard? Or can you change?"

For all he knew, the leopard was some Cursed creature, since it sure wasn't like any shifter he could imagine.
