I tend to forget to tell new followers that Rivek is not an angel - he's a guy who can turn into a peregrine falcon. Rivek's bird form is analogous to his human form (wings -> arms, legs -> legs), so any depiction of him with wings and arms is actually just aesthetic.
When Rivek turns back, he requires energy to put on the difference in mass. Therefore, he usually passes out for forty-eight hours. Unfortunately, scouts are meant to bring back information, not sleep.
Willow is a healer and has infinite energy. Consuming her blood happens to be the quickest method of keeping Rivek awake enough to give information after a scouting trip.
Also note that Rivek can't transform with clothing.

"No."
"Too bad." She tapped her hand against the open cut in her forearm and slipped the medical glove back over her now-healed wrist. "Put on some pants, and go take a nap. I'll wake you up when we move out."
