dated to today! 300+
As Cambria had gotten up that morning she had found the room empty aside from herself. She was kind of glad though, this meant that she could practice in her optime form and not have anyone around to watch her fumble and trip over herself. The girl closed her eyes and focused on the change, letting her body start the process. It was seeming to get easier each time she did it and this go around it even seemed to go faster. It still took a good span of minutes of course, but it was faster than the time before. She had noticed that the adults could all shift fairly quickly, much quicker than she could. It must come with practice. Hopefully someday soon she would be just as comfortable in this form as she was in her natural one. Opening her optics Cambria shakily stood up and carefully walked around the room. Wow, she was much better today! She didn't even feel all that wobbly. This sudden confidence boost made an idea come to her: she should try walking down the stairs like this.
The Marino opened the door and exited her room and came to the top of the staircase leading down the main level of the large house. Now that she was here they looked a little daunting, like they had when she had first seen them. No, she wasn't going to let herself chicken out of this. Cambria took a deep breath and steeled her mind. She took the first step down. That wasn't so bad. Then another. Easier still. The smile came back to her face as she made her way all the way down. She looked back behind her, up where she had come from, and felt very accomplished. Her gaze then shifted to the large room she was now in and she saw someone sitting on the couch. There it was, that overwhelming feeling of self consciousness. Eyes became downcast to the floor. Had she been spotted by the older wolf?
