Finding a quiet place to shift was much trickier in the city. There are always people around, no matter where she went. The upside was that usually they were so busy with Dar-didn't-even-know-what that they frequently didn't notice things that were happening right in front of them.
Dar left early, actually, well before sunset. Saker falcons were diurnal birds, and if she tried to go up in unfamiliar territory in the dark...well, given the odd number of things in the sky in this place, she'd almost certainly crash into something. Her night vision as a bird was just plain terrible. Getting down again might be a problem, unless she went down the way Nuriko did. But she wanted to fly up. She hadn't been able to do much flying lately; mostly she'd been living as a rat, that was the easiest way to find food and shelter. And it meant fewer people noticing details like pointed ears. Or perhaps it was just habit.
Dar glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then shifted, flying towards the top of the building they'd picked. It only took a few minutes to reach her destination. Once there she changed back to herself and sat back against a large pipe-thing, watching the sunset. If someone came up, she could always go rat and hide, and her own eyes were definitely the best for watching sunsets.
