A funny feeling came to Anyu's hand.

As she sped along she swore that her companion was getting lighter, and smaller. She felt something warm, and distinctly furry crawl up her coat sleeve, up to the corner of her neck and shoulder.

"W-Wha--?"

A mouse? The red caped girl turned into a mouse? If she were merely standing she would have wiggled in laughing from the tickling feet climbing her arm. The girl managed a brief wheeze and a wobble before straightening her travel path once again.

The clock tower was a big structure, certainly nothing similar to what Coora had. The big face had ornate numbers and huge hands, and the roof had a bell that rang with the hours. Curiously, the blizzard was thick even above, and the howling storm made the visibility around the tower even more difficult.

The inside of the tower seemed the safest place from the storm, right? It was warm, and protected from the elements. Anyu sped to the door at the side, opening the door and shoving it back closed again. She panted and trembled--she had never needed to use her powers so much before--and opened her coat.

Cautiously the half-Cooran cupped the little brown creature that had crept into her clothes, and set her on the floor. "I think we'll be safer here...for now, at least."
