That it was a place out of the way, and itself wasn't wholly run down was a blessing surely. And while it was true that the Oni had never needed a place like this- or really any place- on her own ... she simply slept where she lay. Yet that status had certainly changed. Perhaps a more permanent residence, and not some unused shack, might be something worth looking into ...
Perhaps Dusk City ...
A thing that was of more immediate relevance however, quickly took the fore however; and considerations on where to build a home could wait. After all, the thing that Ishtar wished to try with Sarada tonight was certainly a risk.
Some months ago- though it felt considerably longer given all that had occurred- Nunlil had agreed to teach Ishtar all of what she knew, and in the end the pink-skinned Oni certainly had. Given the uniqueness of the smaller Oni's condition however; fair portion of what had been learned, could not be properly utilized. Things like the Ballad of Pain, and the Soul-Binding being outside the realm entirely given her own method of energy manipulation, and the Aka Manah being what it was ... yet several had been realized in their own way. The ability to teleport, for example, manifesting in a shift in Ishtar's physical composition, allowing her to cross vast distances as a being composed of electricity. Or the ability to generate electricity itself, resulting in the blue-skinned Oni becoming a type of battery.
The last thing taught however, and one that had manifested in a decidedly unique way ... was the ability to change one's shape and even the sound of their voice, through the use of a magical glamour. Yet for Ishtar the manifestation of such a thing had taken a different path. And it was that, the ability to change one's shape, a thing that had been practiced and practiced without ever being used in a meaningful way; that she intended to use on Sarada this evening ...
For better or worse.

Arriving at the cabin after a short flight, Ishtar was rather quiet.
Despite the numerous changes she had undergone since agreeing to aid Evangeline all those months ago, and even with the recent developments of the past few days this was going to be ... new. And as the golden-eyed Oni wordlessly slipped inside the Cabin and set about lighting the place, Sarada could feel that despite the excitement, Ishtar was nervous.
After making sure the lights were on, and everything was as it needed to be; Ishtar was quick to change. Slipping out of her tattered outfit and into a simple pair of tight-fitting black shorts, not because she felt she needed to- Sarada had certainly seen her naked- but to at least lessen the assumed shock of what she did next.

When Sarada enters the Cabin, she'd find Ishtar sitting in one of the few wooden chairs that remained in the Cabin, legs closed, and golden-eyes appraising her quietly. It was obvious at this point to the Saiyan that something was certainly different, though what it was exactly remained to be seen.
"So ... Sarada. I wanted to try something new for the both of us," the Oni started softly. "To that end I have ... used an ability that was learned some months ago to change my ... uh ... self."
Passive expression changing transitioning to that of pure embarrassment as she stood then, Ishtar presented herself to Sarada before removing her shorts; and what was in the place of that well explored area of the Oni's body was ... certainly new.
"Shapeshifting." The Oni managed after a few moments of simply standing there. And letting another moment pass then to give Sarada a chance to understand what she was looking at then, Ishtar then cleared her throat.
"So ... I can just as easily return to 'normal', if you would prefer ..."
