Reno didn't know.
That is to say, he knew about the mako and he'd figured out that it was mako and not Jenova that caused lifespan abnormalities and 'true' magic. He didn't know that he'd been showered with mako.
And we weren't sure how to tell him.
It took Vincent another day or so to fully recover. Reno started to explain to me that, theoretically, since mako changes a body and its abilities, I should have all new limit breaks. The way Cloud had become a sword guru, or Vincent a shapeshifter.
I've seen Vincent transform a lot more times than Reno has, though, and I was a little scared to try his theory out. I did not relish the idea of giving over control of my body.
But, well, I'm curious. So on the third day after Vincent was up and moving again, I tried it out. I concentrated on the energy inside me. To my surprise, it did feel different, like there was a wellspring of energy inside me just waiting for the lock to be sprung so it could rush up. So I opened myself to it.
Pain!
"Yuffie?"
I knelt on the floor, gasping, feeling my bones slide out of place, shortening in some places, elongating in others. My skin itched, then burned, and suddenly I had four legs.
Minutes after, I was a wolf.
I turned to Reno, bared my fangs, and then wagged my tail to show him I was in control. I ran around the cave a bit, loving my sense of smell, before transforming back. Just as painful a transformation, by the way.
Eventually, over the course of a few months, we found my other forms. Well, two of them- I supposed I needed something to teach me my final form, the way I'd needed to learn All Creation. For now, I could become the wolf, a panther, and...and this was the biggest surprise I'd had in a while, even more than Reno telling me I could shapeshift...I could turn into one of Nanaki's kind.
Now that was cool.
But it was months later, and the mako glow still hadn't faded from Reno's eyes. And he seemed blissfully unaware of it.
We had to tell him.
