>You set to work. This part is a little more difficult, you have to alter your limbs and , stretch your torso and make sure all of your internals stay intact. But you have a fair amount of practice at this: Not only is one of the best ways for a short woman to disguise herself to become a tall woman, but also it's also a key part of taking your chimera shape. It takes you a bit of time, but you pull it off without any real worries.

>You cannot. It's been rather quiet since you left the woods.
