A game? Is this really what it was? The shifter inside her smiled, and told her it was so. Between one step and another, Tahlia's bones shifted and made room for the new joints. Her hands, already long and slim, grew longer and longer with extra joints. Shifted, she silently continued after Reina. Her shifter looked nothing like the non-shifted Tahlia. In fact, it was more like a child-Tahlia, when she was shifted. All she cared about was making a game better, and playing the game to it's fullest. Tahlia gently tugged the girl's shirt and smiled sweetly. In her shifted form, she was impossible to recognize her.
"As it happens, I do know your friend. His name is Kairos isn't it? Would you like to see him?" In her shifted form, she had better control over the emotions in the air. She could 'taste' everything. The doubt and uncertainty from Reina. The exhaustion from surrounding captives, the anger and confusion from the captives. It made Tahlia smile. "Now, you have two choices. Choice A) I can lead you to the exit and you will probably not meet up with your friend for quite some time. Choice B) I can take you to him, but you'll have to follow some...Rules." This was fun. Tahlia knew she could get in serious trouble by taking someone to see a captive, and if anyone knew it was Tahlia behind the shifters face, no one would trust her. But, what fun was anything without a risk?
