Lighter Than Air

"Ooooo... Stitch want to see," Stitch said at length. He was admittedly intrigued by the idea of Rahne having a different form, and it sounded like the others were just as interested in seeing it as he was. So, the little blue alien nodded eagerly in agreement with Waffle and hoped that Rahne would show them what she could do. Maybe Stitch would even show off his own extra parts. It would require taking off his night shirt, just so his second set of arms didn't tear through the fabric, but he'd do it if the others wanted him to. First, though, he should probably mention it. That way it didn't seem like an out of the blue action for anyone involved.

"When done, Stitch can show something too," Stitch said at length. He didn't want to take the spotlight away from Rahne just yet. So, he worded it just the way he had. That way he wouldn't steal her thunder.

[Rahne Sinclair]

Rahne tapped her lips briefly before tilting her head towards Stitch. Was he a mutant too? That would make his appearance a lot more understandable. He looked like a Bamf, or even like Kurt if he was tiny. Jack's powers made Rahne's eyes widen; the beautiful snowflakes dancing on the warm air. It was truly fascinating and beautiful. Nothing like Bobby Drake did; Bobby's powers held onto Ice alone. Not snow, frost, beauty. She blushed a little before tilting her head to the side, trying to stifle a smile. She desperately wanted to change her shape.

"Alrigh'," she purred. She suddenly wished that she hadn't gone with that particular pajama combination. She truly didn't want to rip them when she shifted. She shifted into a half wolf form so she could move aside her nightgown without being embarrassed. Her ears were now pointed, her eyes large and green, her teeth set in fangs. Her hands were now claws, her body covered in a russet red fur. Finally she took the final form; the wolf. Her body shifted seamlessly, not painful looking at all. Her ears folded back, hands shifting into paws and her muzzle forming. Her eyes opened to face the others, tail whipping behind her.

Could she talk? She wasn't quite sure actually.

[Kiara]

"Whoa." The young lioness' amber orbs were as round as dinner plates as she watched the girl shift straight from a human into an animal that looked sort of like a wild dog. Her jaw hung slack with shock; she'd never seen anything like this before, and the feline princess was completely awed by the whole thing. All other thoughts were almost forgotten altogether as Kiara padded closer to the shapeshifter, the tip of her loosened tie dragging against the floor. She wanted to learn how to do that! That would be so, so cool... not to mention, she was SURE it would impress Kovu if she had a trick like that up her sleeve.

"That was amazing," she gaped, unable to tear her gaze away from the creature before her. "Can you teach me to do that?" she pleaded, mustering the most endearing expression she could as she grinned hopefully up at Rahne. After all, with so many others present having odd abilities, Kiara was begining to feel a bit as though she wasn't special. But if she could be taught... not only would that be awesome, the ability would be useful, too; not just in the arena here, but for escaping her 'babysitters' back home too. Timon and Pumbaa would never find her - at least until she wanted to be found - if she could become another animal.

Now that was impressive. Stitch's face blossomed with a smile and his eyes sparkled with awe. None of the cousins he'd met had been able to do that, that was for sure, and meeting someone who could was quite a treat in his eyes. But what could Rahne do like that? Could she still speak? Stitch wanted to know, but he couldn't find the right words to ask. So he just nodded approvingly and purred a bit as he admired the transformation. He'd have to write back home about this, for sure. Nani and Pleakley may never have believed him, but he was sure Lilo and Jumba would be impressed.

"Nice! Very nice," Stitch said at last. He clapped his paws together to show his approval and nodded one more time. He already liked Rahne. Not because she was different, but because she seemed like an interesting person. Kiara, too, had commented and, much to Stitch's amusement, asked if Rahne could teach her to do what she had done. He didn't know if it was something that could be taught. That was something Rahne would have to answer for herself.

[Rahne Sinclair]

Rahne's russet ears folded back as she stared towards the lion cub in front of her. It would only be magic that could give Kiara these gifts, not sheer will. Rahne hadn't even wanted them in the first place herself. She shifted her feet under her before sitting on her back end. Tail flicking behind her Rahne turned her canine head to Stitch. They all seemed impressed by her abilities. Well that ruled out Stitch being a cuter version of a Bamf anyway. She ran her tongue over her teeth before opening her mouth. She'd never tried to speak before as a wolf but here where animals were granted speech maybe...just maybe she'd be able to communicate.

"Tis nae somethin' that ye c'n be taught, lass." She looked visibly shocked. "I c'n speak! My gosh!" She lept to her found feet, ears raising in surprise.

"Wow." The white haired spirit stared at the wolf in front of him. It was strange to see, it was probably the coolest thing he had seen in a long time. None of the other guardians could shift into a wolf, or another animal. So to see it happen, it made him stare with mouth open in a o shape. When Rahne expressed her surprise for being to speak in that form caused him to laugh.

"You have never tried to speak in that form before?" he asked, raising a snowy brow. The shifting that Rahne used, would be a great advantage.
