Dar, in her rat form, waited near the Portkey. She knew from previous experiments that they worked just as well no matter what shape she was wearing, which was convenient, especially when she didn't want to get caught doing something. Granted, Morrigan knew what she looked like as a rat and possibly as a falcon as well, and her only other form would be instantly identifiable as suspicious to anyone from Fereldan, but at least as a rat she was small and less conspicuous. Dar had a lifelong habit of trying to be inconspicuous, especially when she was somewhere she wasn't exactly supposed to be. It wasn't really necessary anymore, but the habit remained. And she might as well wait for Aedan in rat form as any other.

Aedan nodded. "And being out here means that the number of people I can accidentally hurt is limited, and that's really the important thing for me. First time I shifted, I almost killed someone and... that never really leaves you."

Yes, the Old God part of him had been the Archdemon, but he didn't exactly consider the Blight something he'd done. It was more a darkspawn thing. "Once I'm a little more stable, I might try leaving the woods. Just little bits at a time, so I don't end up panicking and shifting."

She nodded back slowly. "Yes...I can see that." Dar smiled. "If you ever want company while you're experimenting, you can let me know, if that'd help. I promise that even if you do lose control I can get away very fast, you wouldn't have to worry about hurting me. And I'd like to help, if I can. You'd probably be less likely to panic with friends around to ground you."

Dar got to her feet. "For now, do you want to do something more fun?" She grinned and held out a hand to him. "We could see if your falcon form is faster than mine."

	That earned a smile. Aedan took her hand and pulled himself up - it'd been a long while since he last actually had another shapeshifter challenge him like that. "You sure? I'm a little rusty, I have to warn you..." As long as he could still fly in a straight line, it probably wouldn't be an issue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Well then, you'll have to work hard to win, won't you?" Her grin widened as she blurred and took off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What was it with elven girls and sneaky headstarts recently? Aedan shook his head and quickly shifted, flying up after her. The 'rusty' thing might've been just the tiniest a bit of a lie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, that wasn't fair, he'd clearly been practicing more than he'd let on. Maybe Morrigan had a bird form too, on top of her other ones; it wouldn't surprise Dar in the least.

She didn't really race so much as play, circling and wheeling and diving. She did take care to stay near the clearing and the edges of the forest--they were still trying not to be caught, after all--but it was hard to remember. Dar hadn't ever had someone to fly with, and it was fun.
