At first Taryn was annoyed that Raschen would hide her but as she relaxed into the arms of the golem, she realized that he was doing her another favor.While the warrior woman didn't call for quarter or for coddling, she had to admit that the babies were taking a toll on her. Her feet were swelling, and even with the added support for her stomach,her back still ached.<br/><br/>Lily was puffed up with importance since the Sheriff gave her the duty of caring for his mate. She took the pack from the golem and quickly laid out the sleeping furs and fussed,<br/>"Now, you just lay down there,stretch out. Let me get a small fire going.You need some tea.Are you okay?"<br/><br/>The golem walked her to the pallet and eased her down. The sand under her shifted, cradling her body perfectly. She suspected that Raschen had arranged the earth to accommodate her. With a sigh, Taryn closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.<br/><br/>Lily bustled around, heating water from the skin that she carried on a thong around her waist. The golem stood silent as a stone, which she figured was as good a description as any since he was created from the earth. She frowned as she thought of the narrow minded and rigid manners of her people. She had thought of them as free spirit, generous and accepting but in reality,if someone lived by a different worldview than them, the Hase would turn their pink noses up and kick them to the Warren.
