Horen was in a daze. Not really asleep, but not really awake. He had been this way before. The first time hed met Katie.... And just like then her scent came to him now.... Calmed his nerves.....<br/><br/>She spoke to him but he didnt hear her words. And then a feeling of coolness came over him. It confused him as it tried to blot out his pain and fever.<br/><br/>Feras placed the large bowl of water near Horens head after Katie settled. It was a strange sight. But it brought him a smile. She was a perfect mate for his brother. She was protective and didnt treat him as the slave he had been. He went back to the table quietly and sat down tiredly. He sipped his coffee as Nora came to him.<br/><br/>Nora watched as Katie finally got Horen so drink the cold cider. She sighed in relief and went to Feras. She saw how tired he was in how he slumped his shoulders and drank the acrid coffee he had made. She stood behind him and placed her hands on his shoulders. She massaged them a little.<br/><br/>"You are tired Feras.... When we board the ship you must rest. Horen will need you, need all of us, if we are to free his dragon." She put her head on his and nuzzled him. She knew he was stressed by the whole situation.
