Alexandra stopped. Calanthe was right. Solar Flare was right. This team had a lot of heavy-hitting women able to wreck their foes physically. Right now, without her magic, she was no asset. There was nothing to slice with her blade. They did not need another woman to physically threaten, they needed a man to cast spells. But she did not want the others to know about Lilith's curse. And so, she would have to change, if she could. And then he would have to use an illusion on himself to keep them from noticing.<br/><br/>Taking a deep breath, Alexandra communicated her plan to Shayla as she stepped behind the others. The pixie flew up at Elizabeth's projection. "Hey! Elizabeth! Aloysius may grumble, and I do not like that you are always messing with my mistress, but I always like seeing you. You look really good in a gown, as always. I like a woman who knows how to strut her stuff."<br/><br/>While the pixie was being herself, Alexandra pulled out his spellbook and closed her eyes. Her form shuddered, and underneath her heavy coat her body changed shape. Hips pulled in, shoulders forced out. Chest flattened. He opened his eyes. Wordlessly, he activated the illusion spell, focusing on the visual and the auditory only. As the illusion took hold, his transformation appeared to reverse. When he spoke, it was still in a feminine voice. "I can manipulate temperatures and environments however I see fit, given a bit of time. I can also shield you all against the such temperature changes, should it be necessary. How may I assist?"
