All was quiet around the Denahlii household. Night had descended across the Arte lands and brought with it a curtain of silence, broken only by the quiet chirping of the night insects and a loud clang as a clumsy adolescent luperci tripped over her own feet and onto a metal bucket.

Keldava swore quietly, a rather futile gesture since her fall had likely woken anybody that was going to be woken, as she lay on the ground. When Keldava had finally shifted she had wanted to go into Optime and run about, singing and dancing her joy at finally shifting out to the world, wanted being the key word. Keldava had taken to walking in Optime form like a fish took to land; with great difficulty and lots of flopping about on the ground.

Keldava tried to rise to her feet, resulting in several false starts as she got tangled in her own alien limbs and fell back to the ground. Eventually she just gave up and rolled onto her back, eyes gazing upwards at the sky. As difficult as it was to walk in Optime form had its advantages, chief among them how easy it was to relax in. The limbs were much more adaptable to differing conditions than the more rigid lupine forms. Laying on her back to watch the stars in Lupus or Secui was a matter of balancing but an easy task in Optime.

She briefly considered trying to actually do something but vetoed the idea. She had come outside to look at the stars anyway - she had found that stargazing was a good way to calm down and sleep when something, her recent shifting in this case, had her too worked up to sleep - and this spot seemed as good as any other. Not worth the effort of shifting or trying to walk in optime to move.
