Ever since shifting a few days ago Keldava had been in a haze of happiness, happy to have finally caught up with her siblings. Almost immediately she had tried to make use of her Optime form but she had run into a problem.

When she had first shifted Keldava had assumed that her inability to walk had been due to dizziness caused by actually shifting the first time but even a few days later she was still unbalanced and clumsy in her own body when shifted into her bipedal form. It seemed that unlike Dalgina, who had taken quickly and naturally to her new body, Keldava would have to literally relearn how to move her own body in order to use her Optime form.

The different muscle structure confused her and her jerking about, trying to move muscles in ways that they could no longer move. The higher viewpoint disorientated her, leaving her to both hit her head on low hanging objects and trip over obstacles close to the ground that she didn’t notice. The newly proportioned arms and legs were ungainly and the different movements and balances required to stand often left her sprawled on the floor. Walking in Optime form seemed to be less walking and more controlled falling and Keldava was having a lot of trouble figuring it out, though at least the pup was getting a lot of experience in how to take a fall without hurting herself with bipedal limbs.

On the upside Keldava was very happy with how her Optime form looked. Her fur was short and soft like this, showcasing the muscles that were building up as she grew much better than her other forms. The mane around her head was neither overly long or in her face like Dalgina's but instead hung back behind her head down to her shoulders, a free flowing river of the two fur colours that made up her body. While Keldava was too young yet to really realise it here Optime form was well proportioned, her frame hinting at the beginnings of what would become an hourglass figure as Keldava matured, something Keldava would appreciate once she was old enough to realise what those parts of her body were for.

All things said Keldava mused, peering into the pond she was using as a mirror with a satisfied air about her and reaching one hand up to preen her newly gained hair - at the moment having hair like this was a close second to actually having hands in ways that her Optime form was awesome - Keldava was rather happy with her Optime form. Now if only she could actually use the damn thing without falling flat on her face every few minutes.

Keldava was drawn from he rmusing by a unfamiliar scent, wafting over the wind and into her nose. Curiously Keldava followed the scent, following it to the gathering of human buildings where many of the pack lived, to an unfamiliar brown wolf trying to break down a door.

Keldava hung back for a moment peering around the side of the house with her ears twitching, sensitive tips working with her nose to tell her that she was downwind of the stranger and hopefully hidden. If the stranger hadn’t heard her approach that was, at the moment Keldava;s movement was described less as walking and more as blundering like a drunkard.

Eventually Keldava decided there was no harm in talking to somebody so deep in Arte territory and strode forwards to introduce herself. Or at least that's what she intended to do. Keldava had been concentrating on watching the stranger to much that she had once again forgotten she was in Optime and when she made to step forwards it was her upper body that moved forwards. With a quiet cry Keldava fell forwards, yelping loudly as she hit the ground muzzle first.

Desparately aware of the stranger Keldava tried to scramble upwards and save some face, only to make the same mistake half way through rising, leading to her face being introduced to the dirt once more. Sore but wounded mostly in her pride and little else Keldava whined quietly, slowly wondering if she should reconsider how much she liked her Optime form.
