Verlassën's ears twitched and swiveled towards where Tony was coming in, saying something about a fallen tree. Immediately she thought of her shadows. [i]But, that puts a[/i] big [i]strain on me... I have to try, after all, I'm still only a stranger to these people. Gotta get their trust Verlassën![/i] She thought, shaking her head to clear her thoughts and blinking her eyes to clear her vision - she was already tired, and she needed to be at full strength in order to make this work. Taking in a deep breath, Verlassën trotted over towards Tony, her violet eyes glancing behind him, just in case. "Um, Tony? I may be able to help with the tree - I, I'm stronger than I look!" She said, loosing her words for a moment before standing up tall. She trotted past Tony, looking around as she summoned a flame to let her see around - not that it would make much difference, she had excellent night vision.

She spotted the tree not too far away and cringed - it was a very long tree, and she might need help. "I... I may need some help." She said, taking in a deep breath, her exhale coming out in a puff of mist as she cooled down her fur, one or two small icicles forming on her horns, before closing her eyes and summoning four hands from her own shadow, each hand coming from the shadows of her paws. They grew more and more tangible the longer they got, the whole hand soon becoming like a dark grey life-like hand that one could grasp - except it was three/four times larger than normal. Each of the hands grasped the tree and lifted it, at first they struggled, but then they got the tree up, holding it a good six inches above the ground.

Verlassën though wasn't doing so well - her legs were beginning to tremble and a thin line of blood trickled from her nose. The icicles on her horns doubled in size and quantity, before she opened her eyes and glanced over to Tony, grinning slightly. "Where... Where do you want me to put this? I can't hold it up for long." She said, her voice sounded strained as she flickered her attention back over to the log, lifting it higher as she moved it a bit closer to the cave, the shadows unwavering as they held it, despite Verlassën's tired and exhausted look.
