Taryn was struck with a longing for Jax when she saw the Hase elder. He held up two fingers and murmured,<br/><br/>"Peace, man," as a way of greeting.<br/><br/>Taryn from long habit of talking to Jax and hearing his elder legends, flashed the sign back to him and answered," and let it begin with me."<br/><br/>A younger female surrounded by 10 small bunnies approached and frowned. She held out her arm to keep the rambunctious brood under control.<br/><br/>"I know who you are. You are the Hume that stole away our Uncle Jax." She stated this quietly and respectfully but perhaps because the tone didn't match the venomous words, Taryn dropped her gaze when she answered.<br/><br/>"Jax is my friend and very much an Uncle to me. If you miss him half as much as do I, then your longing is great."<br/><br/>"Come now, sister," the elder Hase said benignly. "We need to hear the news from abroad."<br/><br/>"But Father, you would let a Hyane into our midst? and Kyote? This is how we die because not only do we not fight back but we welcome them! Will we never learn?" her voice was shrill.<br/><br/>Taryn stepped forward, addressing the elder.<br/>"We are surety for them." Taryn began. The female rolled her large pink eyes. "Come, bunnies, come with Mommy." she gathered them and swiftly moved out of sight.<br/><br/>Taryn looked up at Raschen,<br/>"I don't think she likes me."
