primal nods, then moves to the big house, leaning forward and taking the last few steps on all fours like he would in his beast mode. he hasn't shifted to it yet, where he might have ordinarily, as he doesn't want to risk spooking bob. he has plenty of experience with many different beings reacting poorly when there was suddenly a gorilla in front of them.]
