Jax quietly woke Taryn to take the last watch. He had wanted her to sleep, knowing the rest would recharge her talent somewhat. He had relieved the Hyane who was respectful and joined Raschen who refused to leave him alone. All was quiet and the Hase had wanted to rejoin his clan mate for a brief time of solitude and peace.<br/><br/>Taryn smiled at Jax, glad to she her companion look at her with tender eyes as he had in the past. She had missed his company over the last few weeks. She joined Raschen on the upper balconey.<br/><br/>"You must rest," she whispered to him, handing him a cold camp biscuit. "You  will be no good to the rest of us if you are exhausted."<br/><br/>He didn't answer.<br/><br/>Taryn shook her head, Beastkin and men were not so different. Hard headed lot of them!. She paced off the floor, treading softly. The wind was cold but not as bitter as it was in the North where they were from. The sky was clear and the stars were low in the western sky. In the distance, she could see red eyes blinking in and out of view. She immediately clenched her jaw, squinting her eyes to eliminate any other distractions. The eyes or the red lights seemed stable and she finally decided that for now, it probably didn't pose much threat. A loud bang from the opposite direction drew her attention.<br/><br/>Around her neck hung night vision binoculars. Taryn used them to scan the landscape around the building. She made out a biped creature running away from them.  She leaned out the opening in the ceiling but couldn't make out any threat. Calling on her Talent, she flowed over the edge to the outside. When she was at the front door, she found a paper nailed there. Taking a chance, she materialized, tucked it inside her jacket and took the water form, to flow under the barricaded door.<br/><br/>Waiting for her was a very angry Kuguar.
