Sitting with her back against the rough bark of a tree, one bare foot trailing into the cool water of the Falls she carved another sliver of stone from her current project. The face had been easy, and so had the shoulders and torso, but the rest of the body was starting to give her trouble. She had the image of what she wanted firmly in her mind, but the stone seem disinclined to be shaped in that particular direction. Looking up at an almost silent snap of a twig nearby, she rolled into a crouched fighting position. If someone was trying to sneak up on her, they would be surprised when they saw she was waiting for them. Holding the carving tool in front of her like a dagger she waited and then relaxed when she saw who was there. A large black panther padded from beneath the trees, slender tail lashing back and forth lazily.

It's good to see that your instincts and hearing are as sharp as ever Shana. I had doubted that you would hear that twig snap, I was wrong. I have missed you child, tell me what has occurred since I was removed from this place."

Settling back down against the trunk of the tree she told her what she knew, of the vampires and Wyrd, and everything else that had occurred since she had last seen her friend. While she talked she resumed her carving, pleased to note that with her mind occupied her hands finally did what she had wanted. The miniture statue began to show signs of near completeness, and she wondered if Kyuusai would want it as a gift.
