After conferring for a few minutes, Calandra changed into her demi-form and leapt into the air to soar up toward the largest window in the old crow's house. She lightly landed on the ledge, which was just large enough for her feet to balance on. The raven then peered inside, using the moonlight to see. Luckily the crow, like most avians, had left the shutters open, thinking that only the wind could enter through them. After one last glance, she flew back to her waiting friends. One-by-one, Cal lifted them into the house while they were in their snake form and let them slide into through the window.
Calandra waited by the window as they inspected the whole place, checking to see where the sleeping avians were. Once they came back and reported, Cal brought two of them, Rasha and Kiran, back to get the necessary supplies. Taima and Salem each went into a different room, while Calandra went straight for the offending crow's room. First, she took all of the clothes out of the closet as she kept one eye on the sleeping victim. Next, she emptied all of the perfumes and scented items of their contents. She then flew down to Rasha and took the items handed to her. It was clothes. More importantly, it was serpiente clothes. After grabbing all of the clothing, she tiredly flew back. The large amount of clothing weighed a ton. She distributed the clothing evenly between her, Salem, and Rasha. Cal went back to the same room. After replacing the avian clothing with serpiente, she proceeded to replace the avian perfumes with serpiente perfumes, and did the same to all of the scented objects. She met back with Salem and Rasha as they finished replacing the modest avian art with the less-modest serpiente art. Cal made sure to hang a large painting of two dancers performing a sacred dance on the wall opposite the crow's bed, so it would be the first thing she saw when she woke up. The raven then carefully flew her serpent friends back to the ground and returned to the window, for onw last look. The room, and the rest of the house, resembled a serpiente home instead of a "proper" avian household. With a small smile, Cal flew back to her friends.
"Well?" Rasha demanded.
"How's it look?" Kiran asked as Cal changed back into her human form. Calandra's smile grew.
"They'll be completely disgusted." she answered gleefully, trying to ignore her protesting muscles and tired eyes. Before the others could object, saying that serpiente style wasn't disgusting, she stumbled. Cal's eyes had drooped closed for a moment, in which time her feet had tried to move and stand still at the same time. The result was that she almost ended up with a faceful of dirt and grass if Salem hadn't been quick enough to catch her.
"Sor--"she was interrupted by a yawn and tried to continue, "Sorry." was all she could mumble. Her head felt like it weighed two tons, and she couldn't even feel her arms and legs anymore. Her friends looked at her knowingly. Without a word, Salem scooped her up, prepared to carry her back to the nest for some much needed sleep. They, especially he, was used her random swings of energy and exhaustion when she was woken up too soon. The sun had just touched the horizon as they reached the nest. Gently, they placed her on the ground and then laid down next to her, forming another sleeping group. Cal shifted even closer to the nearest person, trying to get comfortable. Salem smiled as he became her pillow. Having feathers doesn't make one an avian he thought sleepily.
