Well, that's... no, that's not right. He isn't useless. Tobias is the most undeniably good person she's ever met. He's sensible and smart and able to see things she never could. But he can't fight like this and hasn't shown any desire to learn how. Like he doesn't want back in a fight, any fight, at all anymore.
Rachel can't say she's surprised by that thought, not with all the fights they had about rushing head first into things, about her being a little bit crazy, not right. But to have it so obviously present now, when his eyes aren't sharp tinted amber, without the wickedly curved beak or the razor sharp talons...
She strips quietly at the back of the house, glances back to make sure a small sound was just part of the forest and not Tobias coming back to check on her. And when she's sure, she morphs quickly.
She'd accused Tobias of staying a hawk to hide. Now, she relishes the moment when the wolf mind takes over and she can let it, leaving the human problems behind for the sake of a hunt.
