Spinning around, faster and faster, her dark hair twirling in the wind...

Stopping, and turning to check out her handiwork, Luka was pleased greatly by what she saw. The surface of the standing tree was carved in intricate manners. Some areas were lightly carved, while others were deep and dug down in special ways. All together, every wood chip removed by her bladed whip had added yet another detail to the tree's carving. A nymph of the wood, that is what she carved. A tall, with feminine curves and features, woman with long flowing hair...all detailed in wood carving, on the side of the tree. Most of this wasn't too deep, nor damaging. The tree would most certainly live, like many a carved tree before it, only living with this special carved detail.

Stretching out her body leisurely, like a wild cat, she plopped herself down to lay at the foot of the tree. Pondering for a moment whether anyone would find her carving in years to come, then whether any would paint the woman's features, she dozed off on the bare yellowing grass...Luka didn't think it cold just yet, despite the seasonal changes. There was still sun out, so it was a good day.

Skender was a bird of prey today. His favorite human, and his greatest hero, was spending much time with the heads of other houses...playing house? Earlier, he had been following the head like a loyal dog, but was shooed off to follow his own devices. Once he entered into a deserted garden, he took the form of a great big eagle. His bones made rather...spectacular snapping sounds as they rearranged, but he was much used to the pain, and was gone a few minutes before the investigating guard could find him. With a bird's eye view of the city, he spotting something that pleased him greatly; a small, lone goat! Swooping down low, he grabbed onto the animal carefully, before flying up again. A human woman ran out with a broom, waving it, but couldn't catch up. The goat pooped, dropping it's turd into a small garden, but Skender paid no mind to this.

Flying over, and slowing down near a stone building, the shapeshifter placed the frightened goat on a very slightly protruding stone block. The building itself was the old store house, one that was no longer put to use after a fire a few years back...many a stone were sticking out from the side of the building, due to lack of maintenance. This would be the fun part. Landing on the roof of a nearby building, he watched as the goat climbed down rather agile, as was the talent of the goat. Much climbing talent, much fun to watch.
