Though she could no longer bear a life inside her, and probably couldn't have done so while she was human, (or so it was thought) Aleera would protect the little female changling in the barn. The girl had kept watch over them in their sleep and had tried to protect them from those who would wish harm on them. Surprise is written all over Aleera's face when said changeling runs out of the barn to hug her. After a second she lays a hand on Nyra's shoulder. "They where, weren't they," the vampiress says softly back. "That he does. But that can wait until after he sates his hunger and regains his strength from it." Expecting protests from Dagger, she looks to him. "You will draw flies and other insects if you do not bath. As well as animal that may return to this part of the woods looking for a meal."
