Taryn enjoyed the golem. He was not only a good support for the babies, but he was also comforting. Even though she was walking, the golem had managed to lift her onto the tops of his feet so that she was just moving and not really bearing her own weight. She worried about the visit to the Hyane. She hurried to catch up to Raschen who was consulting with Jax.<br/><br/>"Um, Raschen," Taryn began," I have been thinking. The Hyane. I think that Lily and I should remain in camp and that camp should be hidden. I have this uneasy feeling that the Hyane are going to take the death of their comrade rather poorly. I don't usually run from danger , but this feeling is so strong that I need to listen to it." Taryn thought a minute and said,<br/><br/>"Doesn't your mother have the power of foresight? I think that one of these children has it also and it is the gift of the child that is warning me."<br/><br/>Lily looked at Taryn in shock and amazement.Shock that Taryn could have a sense of the future and amazement at her speaking up to the Sheriff. When Raschen and Jax had turned to confer with one another, Lily tugged at Taryn's sleeve.<br/><br/>"Don't you think your babies are growing too fast?" Lily asked quietly, not wanting the men to hear her. "What if you go into labor out here? Won't giving birth this soon be bad for the babies?"<br/><br/>Taryn frowned. She had weeks to go yet until her time was on her. Even Raschen had said that for a Kuguar the time would be longer than the time that had passed. Shaking her head,she answered,<br/><br/>"I don't know how fast they are growing," Taryn admitted, "but I feel okay. A little tired, but much better now that the golem is giving me support. I feel strong and I am calm in my mind. You worry too much, Lily." Taryn reached out to hug the Hase.<br/><br/>"I feel so sad that my people put us out. I had planned on Jax and I living in my burrow, to have a family raised by the Hase. I used to know what life would be like for me but now, I have no idea." she answered, trying to smile."I know I love Jax and I admire you. The Sheriff sort of scares me, though."<br/><br/>Taryn laughed,<br/>"He can be formidable but he is so good. That is what scares me about him. His goodness. I worry that he gives up too much for me. I know the priestess is going to be angry. I wonder if he will be able to defy his mother's rules."<br/><br/>The babies moved so violently that Lily was able to see the rise and fall of Taryn's belly. The women laughed and kept on walking.
