<span style="font-style: italic">Agitation surged through her veins and she could feel the heat within her rise to the surface.  Softly, she looked down at Holet and decided a fight wouldn't be the best thing to do while she didn't have his safety guaranteed, nor his help, and quickly climbed into the trees after Nikalie, being careful to be as swift as possible.<br/><br/>West bound, and a few miles from the area she left Vican and the soldiers, a loud roar of water sounded throughout the forest.  The sound was peaceful, and so was the sight, as she jumped into the clearing onto soft, damp grass littered with wild flowers.  Amazed at the beauty of it, the weight of Holet in her arms was forgotten and Na'vee was lost in the solidarity of the location that was completely closed off with a thick canopy above them and a wall of thick forestry around them as if it created a fortress wall - the only opening was that of the mountain the waterfall was pouring from. <br/><br/>A soft clicking coming from her arms broke Na'vee's fascination and made her look down with a light heart.  Holet, now light in weight, looked up at her and began to thrum softly as he filled her up with a joy that he felt for being with her again.</span><span style="font-size: 85%; line-height: 116%;">"Na'vee, I apologize for frightening you the way I did."</span><span style="font-style: italic">His voice was so soft and gentle in her mind that she always seemed to forget he was a gyrfalcon and not a human.</span><br/><br/>"My darling, Holet,"<span style="font-style: italic">she began, tears rimming her vision,</span>"it's alright.  All that matters, is that you're okay!"<span style="font-style: italic">Na'vee wrapped her arms around him once more before placing her left arm at his talons and released him in an upward motion.  The majestic falcon beat his wings fiercely before he gained his balance upon her.  Once again, she fingered the soft feathers on his chest and smiled lovingly up at him before looking around for Nikalie.</span>
