As the egg starts to crack open, Kellus tries to focus his efforts on the small patches of light that come through, slowly but surely pulling away bits and pieces of the shell.  With Tamara's help, it isn't long until enough of the shell is peeled away for him to shift around enough inside to work his upper body free of his coils.  Finally pulling enough of the shell away to slide out, Kellus only gets a few feet of his body outside before the shell gives way and he spills out in a wash of fluid and scales.<br/><br/>As was visible through the shell earlier, Kellus's upper body is mostly unchanged except for his hair, which has been replaced with a layer of multicolored feathers.  From the waist down, his skin transitions smoothly to scales, colored a dark grey with a black and white diamond pattern extending across his back, with the scales on his underbelly fading to a lighter grey.  From head to head he's about fifteen feet long, but that will likely grow as he reaches his full size.<br/><br/>"Of course.  Now I just need to figure out how to stand up..."  Attempting to get his body upright, Kellus only succeeds in falling forward, barely catching himself before going face-first into the grass.  Pulling himself back, he finally manages to regain his sense of balance, but only by bracing against Tamara until he's used to holding his muscles correctly.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Watching warily as Tonar tries to distract the other otters, Azlant looks up with some apprehension as a few move around him and continue to move crates.  This close, they can likely hear a very slight humming noise caused by the veil, but so long as they don't actually cross into it it will hold.  The second any of them actually cross the circle, however, the whole veil will break.  His eyes narrow again as he hears Tonar tell the others that they're there.<span style="font-style: italic">"Looks like the game's up.  I'll try to head them off, but I don't know how much good it will do at this point."</span>Sliding off of her shoulders, Azlant moves over to the top of a nearby box.  He's still out of sight, but he's now outside the veil so he can try to stop any of them from walking into it.
