[Matt startles at the sounds, the pawing, suddenly aware that Shiro (who's always been bigger than him) outweighs him by a few hundred pounds of pure muscle now. But he still hurries to obey, shivering now, because realistically he's soaking wet and while it was warm and perfect a few minutes ago, now it's cooling and making him cold all over.

He unties Shiro's wrists too, leaving just the chained-in-place harness still on, the padlocks too much for his trembling hands. Then he takes a step back, hunches inside his clinging, sopping wet clothes and looks down at his hooves.]
