past her shoulders, soft and straight. She lifted a hand and touched her cheek, her lips, and then a lock of pale hair, marveling at the sheer amount of sensations that her fingers could process. She looked at herself in the mirror, examining her new body. Her breasts were round and firm, perfectly proportioned to her lean frame. A soft tuft of curly blonde hair covered her feminine parts, and she realized for the first time what it felt like to be truly naked. A red tint rose to her golden-skinned cheeks, and she braced herself against the wall as she stood on two shaky legs. Grabbing the fluffy robe, she fumbled with it until she nearly fell. Finally, she remembered seeing Kara put a jacket on, and mimicked her movements. Forgetting to hold on to the wall, she wrapped the robe around herself as she nearly fell flat on her face. Fortunately, her quick reflexes allowed her to catch herself. Pulling the robe closed to cover herself, she began to take short steps until she felt more confident walking on two legs. She giggled with glee, startling herself with the new sound.
     
    “This is amazing!” Reaching out with her mind, she sent a mental shout at Kara. KARA! Come and see! The tall brunette burst into the room, just in time to catch a stumbling Keva. “Whoa there! Keva, you’ve done it! Cian will be so happy to see you in your new, gorgeous human body. You’re beautiful!” Keva felt another blush heat her cheeks. “Really? Oh, Kara… I can feel so much more with these hands!” Kara chuckled, a huge grin on her face. “It’s awesome, isn’t it? Wait right here, and I’ll find you some clothes.” She dashed off to her room, and Keva found herself sitting on the bed, feeling light-headed from the strangeness of the change.
     
    Kara found a t-shirt and some soft pants and underwear for Keva, and took a moment to quickly call up Cian. “Hey! Get over here, now!” She hung up the phone before he could reply and then ran to help Keva dress. It was awkward, but Keva was finally dressed appropriately. She admired herself in the mirror, smiling at Kara’s ecstatic smile. “So, do you think we could go clothes shopping tomorrow?” Keva asked, teasing Kara. Kara’s grin grew even wider. “Of course! You’ll need a whole wardrobe. Plus, Cian is paying for it all!” Keva laughed, and startled herself again. “I’m still getting used to this human laugh,” she said with a chuckle. Kara laughed. “At least it’s not a snort, like before!”
     
    The two girls giggled together until Cian burst into the room. He wrapped Keva in his arms, and Keva gasped at the sensation. “Oh, my love,” he whispered in her ear. “I was so afraid I might lose you. You are so beautiful,” he said as he pulled away to look her up and down. “Very sexy,” he said with a wink. Keva looked confused. “Sexy?” Cian looked at Kara with disgust. “Kara, haven’t you taught her what ‘sexy’ means?” Kara blushed under her brother’s glare. “Cian, I thought that was something you should teach her,” she retorted, crossing her arms over her chest. Cian’s laugh rumbled against Keva’s chest as he held her close. “I suppose that’s definitely something I could teach her,” he mused. Keva felt a strange instinct to hit him, so she smacked him. “Be nice to your sister, Cian,” she said with a warning glare. Cian burst out laughing, making Keva lose her stern look. “You are going to be a feisty one, aren’t you?” He winked at Keva, meeting her ice-blue gaze with his own gaze of molten gold. With an arm around Keva, he led her to the living room where they all sat down on the couch. He took Keva’s hand, and began softly playing with her fingers, and she turned blood red at the way it made her feel. She could hardly concentrate on the conversation as Cian and Kara began discussing Liam’s upcoming confrontation with Elder Garr.
     
    “We aren’t going to try to blackmail him,” Cian explained, as he traced
