This… is not a situation that can be solved by an elephant.

Weird, right? S'like, big stompers, able to throw your weight around, and talk about junk in the trunk, which is a phrase she's heard used and one day she's sure someone will explain! Elephants are great! Also, ears. Big flappy ears, perfect for swatting flies, which is a problem she's never had until getting here, because heaven doesn't have flies. Very satisfying to wave around.

But! But but but! The point is, that an elephant cannot solve this.

Or rather, an elephant [i]could[/i] solve this, but only if they didn't care about what would happen immediately after that happened, and.

And the [i]point[/i] is that Shifu is being so [i]incredibly[/i] careful when she starts moving furniture.

Shhh, Joshua, she's doing alright, see? Righting chairs, scooting them out of the way, moving slowly, like Izi's gonna run for the door any second.

Because she [i]could[/i] just transform here, standing over Izi. But that phone is still pointed at her,a nd she does not want more pictures, and humans are weird in that they don't like it when they're being engulfed in flames?

She's tried to explain that it doesn't hurt, right? It's like… like that second before a sneeze, right? And your nose gets all pinchy, and then when you [i]do[/i] sneeze, it's a relief? Look, look, you could hold anything you want in the fire! It's cold!

But still, she clears a space, and lets the fire wash over her until nothing but a lionpuppy is left.

"Izi? Are you okay? I'm super sorry I messed up your game. Could you. Could you delete that picture? Pretty please? For me?"

And also, the great thing about moving furniture and transforming is it's noisy, right? Noisier, certainly, than any gagged princess in the back room. We're all friends, no need to cause problems, and you can go on your way without needing to blow up the news with pictures and things.
