Taryn unpacked the bedrolls and poured the last of the water into a tin cup. The water looked nasty. She smirked and said,<br/><br/>"Here is some water you can purify."<br/><br/>Raschen smiled wanly but put his claw in the cup. Taryn frowned, he was so distant, quite unlike the sweet Kuguar from earlier today.<br/><br/>She sat next to him and took his paw.<br/><br/>"I don't understand your reaction to the old wive's tales. They are legends. No more. Warriors in Home would never show such emotion. I know you are powerful. You are brave, You are a talent. You are a warrior. Goddess,  you keep the peace in the Warren, In Home we have a saying, One riot, One Kuguar. and you are head and shoulders above the others of your kind. Why did you cry?"
