The comforting was a bit of an ease keeper for Wiflor but in the end it was ultimately their tension that was causing her issues.  Dragons were not a thing she feared.  Gryphons were not either.  There was no reason to fear such things in this world.  Strong bite, loud barks, big bodies, and powerful minds but ultimately it wasn't a thing she was worried about.  A torn veil would of scared her dead in her tracks if her sixth sense was not weak of the second and her nemesis too would frighten her dearly.<br/><br/>Beyond such things she had nothing else to fear.  So long as she was fed she was all too close to unbeatable.  Yet as they jumped the gap she'd wonder before looking to Cyrus.  How long had it been since she last ate?  She herself didn't have a good grasp of time so she couldn't be certain.  Did they just have the first meal or last meal of the day?  Were they going to eat at the top?  Perhaps this was why they were here.<br/><br/>The first time she went through that terrible maze with the traps for a steak that Cyrus wanted and ultimately gave to her.  Maybe they were going through all this to find something similar?  Maybe a full sized boar on a platter awaited them at the top?  Or perhaps a cow?  An ox?  Thinking about the possibility her mouth would begin to water and her realization of their tension was lost.  Instead she was too excited to reach the top.<br/><br/>Rushing ahead Wiflor would quickly pass up Atticus and Cyrus on the way up, hopping with a light foot across the gaps.  That's what it was all about wasn't it?  It was all about food.  Solving this whole mystery she was happy to move past the boxes, sniffing about for food.  Any sort of food.  Maybe the eggs were not eggs but meat?  Excited she'd already be moving closer to inspect and dare to even lick one of the egg shells only to back away from it's terrible flavor.   It wasn't meat.<br/><br/>Looking back to the opening of the winding stair to bring them up she would watch Cyrus, questioning where the reward was.  Where the meat was.  Unaware a most...Exotic meal may well of been watching them even from afar.
