[Once safely behind the tree, Sirius has to work to get Padfoot around to the idea of switching back. It's not that he's not in charge--he absolutely is!--it's just that it can be difficult persuading even himself that he doesn't want to be this happy and this in tune with every little thing around him.
But dogs can't talk, and he wants to talk, and he can switch back later and play some more; come on-- and so, finally, he shifts back. The reverse of the transformation is like sneezing backwards--not painful, not precisely, just weird and definitely unnatural, as every bit of him remembers that it's meant to be more complex--
But, finally, there he is, in clothes and everything, and after making sure everything is straightened out, he comes out from behind the tree, rubbing at his jaw. Merlin, but his mouth always tastes terrible after being a dog, no matter if he's eaten anything at all--]
Blrurk. Hullo. Yeah, so-- there y'are. [And it's sort of weird that she knows--she's not the weirdness in that equation, it's just weird to have anyone who isn't a Marauder knowing. And there's plenty of people aboard this ship who now know, and here's one more. Weird.] Ta-dah.
