The morning came to find Jax and Lily stirring the fire to make morning tea. Jax gritted his teeth to see Taryn coming from Raschen's tent. Lily said,<br/><br/>"Don't let your prejudices overshadow your judgement. Everyone knows that Beastkin and Hume can  mate but can not breed."<br/><br/>The Hase kept stirring the fire,<br/>"You keep saying that, Lily."<br/><br/>The Hyane soldier joined them at the fire. He hunkered down and unwrapped traveling food which he arranged on a flat rock that retained last night's heat. His slanted black eyes slid over Lily with lust and disregard for her essence. He unconsciously licked his lips as he eyed her. Before he realized what happened, one of Jax's throwing knives lodged into the shoulder of his leather vest, precariously close to his unprotected throat.<br/><br/>"I didn't miss," Jax said, narrowing his own black eyes at the crouching Hyane. "That was the only warning you get. She is off limits."<br/><br/>Ludwig stood slowly,keeping his gaze on the tall white Beastkin.<br/>"You think I, a warrior of the Hyane, fear you?" He spat on the ground. "I will wear your skin to celebrate as I pick my teeth with her bones. But for now, we have a mission but when that if fulfilled...."<br/><br/>Lily's paw crept to her throat, pink eyes wide in alarm.<br/><br/>The Hyane turned on his heel and bowed formally to her.<br/>"For now, Lady Hase, my word to not molest you. I will work to keep my actions from causing you discomfort. For now."<br/><br/>Ignoring, Jax, the Hyane retrieved his food and casually turned his back as he walked away.<br/><br/>Lily sank down on a nearby bedroll, shaking with fright. Taryn joined them at the fire.<br/>"What did he say?" she asked.<br/><br/>Lily just rolled her eyes and looked at Jax through her long white lashes. Jax cleared his throat.<br/><br/>"The Hyane was clarifying some boundaries. Nothing major."
