Hawthorn Cabin
"I guess." Sekhmet isn't sure how much practice that will take. This is her best illusion, and it's significantly more difficult now than it used to be, since her body diverges even more from the humanoid norm.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

"Trust me. When I started out it was all I could do to make anything visible at all, but now-"
Spike resumes her angelic countenance, quick as a flash.
"Oh, you might want to try an easier default disguise for now. Maybe something like this?"
Spike slowly adds a fluffy tail and animal ears to her disguise, analogues for Sekhmet's stinger and horns. It would mean less worrying about shape while still being pretty innocuous.
"But right now, let me show you how to pick things up with such long nails. There's a bit of a trick to it."

Sekhmet recreates her disguise, adding angelic wings to cover her fiendish ones, as well as the animalistic features Spike suggested. Her face retains a distinct elven aspect however. She grins at Spike's offer. "That'd be great!" Her claws have given her so much trouble since she transformed. She still hasn't cleaned up after all the damage she accidentally did to the cabin.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

"Good, you look perfect."
Spike dispels her own disguise again so that her lower arms, with their own claws (if perhaps not as sharp as Sekhmet's) are clearly visible.
"Your used to pinching things between your fingers, making a loop with thumb and finger, like this." She taps her claws and fingertips together. Don't imitate; you might cut yourself.
"Instead, you want to use not the fingertips, but the pads. Sort of flex your fingers back-" This demonstration, you can copy. "Making a shape like a vase, and then bring your fingers closer together. Then for small things like between the pages of a book, you use the back of your claws." She opens, closes, and flips through the demonology book to demonstrate.

Sekhmet dispels her own illusion so she can see her hands better. She reaches for the book, gingerly grasping it the way she was instructed and cradling it gently in the palms of her hands. Her claws press into the leather cover, leaving little indentations where they touched. This is about as far as she's safely managed to get before. She carefully hooks a claw (the pointer finger of her left hand, if you're keeping track) on the cover, and pulls the book open. Ever so delicately, she reaches down and tries to use the back of her claw to turn the page, but the paper slides off and falls back into place. She tries again, with the same result. Frustrated, she sets the book down.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

[Daycare Dark Room]
Karasu notes how Sasha uses her shadow powers, making tendrils and shaping those to do what she bids. "Ah, so you usually use your powers to grab stuff or hold people down? There must be stuff to show, else you wouldn't have tried. Want me to teach you how to make the shadows move like me? It'll take a while, I'll have to see what you're capable of with training. I don't control actual shadow so much as overall lack of light. Can make my own, too. Grants me some void-like powers too. What could we learn from each other?" She thinks, fingering her simple earrings. "And I guess you can't - or won't - talk. I can handle that, not usually talkative anyway. Seems I have to talk for us both, which is a bit of a drag. I've noticed you react to mention of your father, though. If there were some way... ah!" She stops and raises up a hand, but doesn't speak immediately since she's already tired of talking so much. "Your dad's a scientist, right? So whether or not he let you speak, he'd have had some way to hear your thoughts."
Then she waits for Sasha's reaction.

Asher puts away his drawing, finished before her but waiting patiently, and hears her reply. In response, he grins and nods. "I can make those with rock!" He declares proudly, glad to announce his ability to create light and usable materials. Hopefully Annie doesn't expect them to be pretty and intricate, though!

"You almost got it." Spike says. "It will take time to get used to. Here, try with this, instead of your book there."
She offers a notepad, just like the one in Trog's had. The different weight of the paper and the ragged edges should hopefully make it easier for her claws to get ahold of.
Most all of their strain carry paper to write with, in case something happens to their voice.

Sekhmet takes the notepad, and attempts the same process as on the book. She manages to turn the first page, barely. Her face lights up into a grin, then tries again on the next page. This time, she's not so successful, moving too quickly and tearing the page.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Sekhmet tries once more, slowly, cautiously turning the page again. She does a couple more times after that. It's a slow process, but at least it works. "I, uh, guess I need to take it slowly."Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Annie furrows her brow and climbs out of her seat to follow him out. "What do you mean rock?"
The daycare is a short ways away from the water, but there's a nice stretch of sandy beach right there. There's starting to be a bit of a chill in the air, but it's still fine weather for playing outdoors. It might get uncomfortable if they get wet, though.

Sasha tilts her head a little. Karasu seemed very talkative to Sasha, despite her claims otherwise. She asked like half a dozen questions and just kept going. Sometimes adults would do that. Ask questions they didn't want answers to.
So it takes Sasha a moment to realize Karasu is waiting for a reply when she finishes. But to which part? The scientist thing was a question, but she concluded with a statement that was kind of like a question? Ah well, at least the answer was easy regardless. Sasha shakes her head. Dad wasn't a scientist, he was Master. And definitely couldn't hear her thoughts. She was quite certain about that.

"Oh, uh, alright." Sekhmet responds. "Goodbye?" She continues to work on turning pages, not sure how to feel about a second visit.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

Spike leaves, and Sekhmet turns back to the notebook, idly practicing turning pages back and forth. She is quite tired; the magic practice took a lot out of her. Still, she doesn't even think about napping. She has been able to sleep a little more now, almost a week after the incident, but she can't shake the nightmares, so she sits awake, flipping back and forth through the blank notebook as best she can, and waiting.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

There will be a knock on the door before long, which Sekhmet might be thankful for just because it distracts her from sleepiness.

"Coming!" Sekhmet shouts, putting down the notepad and rushing to the door. She opens it for Sophie. "Please come in." The cabin is a lot cleaner than the last time Sophie's been here on camera, with the books replaced on their shelves and the shredded cushions from the couch are stacked in a corner to be repaired. Sekhmet's silver necklace is still lying on the floor, glowing faintly. "How, uh, can I help you?" Sekhmet asks.Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

"I guess?" Sekhmet doesn't feel much better. She doesn't think she's back to her old self at all. She's still a monster; she was just tired of living in squalor. "Something for my dreams? What is it?"Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

"Uh... Alright." There's some hesitation in Sekhmet's voice. Mirrors make her uncomfortable. She still can't stand the sight of her own reflection.
