A day later, somewhere in the middle of the vast preserve. A modified hummer appears, moving along a vaguely defined path on the savannah. On board are Sar, Tamara, Mr Swili, and a couple of employees from the Preserve. Erin had been gently told by Swili to stay at the hotel. When he opened his muzzle to protest, Swili gently pointed out that he was of a foreign prey species, and that his presence could cause some problems with the regular residents of the place.<br/><br/>The hummer soon came to a halt, and Swili and the employees got out of it, followed by Sar and Tamara. The two tigers had spent the trip snuggled against each other, looking around in awe, sniffing the air and purring. The sight and smell of this wild untamed nature awoke feelings and instincts they didn't knew they had, and invigorated them so much they felt like they could run around the whole place for days on end without feeling tired.<br/><br/>"There," said Swili, while pointing toward the entrance of a small cave, hidden under a big rock. "This will be your den for the next ten days. As you can see, it is nicely concealed by the trees and the foliage, and should provide you with a sufficient cover during the warmer hours of the day, or the colder hours of the night. Though, I have a feeling that finding some warmth at night won't be a problem for you."<br/><br/>He chuckled, and Tam blushed a little, glancing at Sar, her tail flicking while she squeezed his paw tenderly.<br/><br/>"There is a small well right over here," he said while taking a few steps behind the cave, which will provide you with drinkable water, and a small pond there, just deep enough to bathe. Of course, you are free to go bathe in the river, which I am sure you will soon find by yourself."<br/><br/>He came back to them and handed them two small earclips, one for each of them. "Attach these to your ears. They should match the color of your fur, and they're small enough not to stand out when you'll be hunting. Those things serves as monitors and communicators."<br/><br/>Tamara attached it to her left ear, which flickflicked while she got accustomed to the feeling.<br/><br/>"They'll monitor your biosigns," continued Swili, while the two employees checked the den, making sure everything was fine and still in shape, and tested the water to make sure it was still good. They nodded at Swili when they finished their test, telling him everything was clear.<br/><br/>"As I said, they'll monitor your biosigns, thus allowing us to make sure you're fine, and they'll also allow two way communication between us. Just touch it to open the channel with our control room. There is always someone there to watch on our visitors. We can also contact you if need be. Don't worry, we'll limit communication to the strict minimum, and we're not going to spy on you. As I said at the hotel, it's for your own well-being."<br/><br/>He went to the far end of the den. "One last thing: you might want to put your clothes on this box, ferals don't wear clothings!" he said, chuckling. "We'll collect it tomorrow, when you'll be gone to explore the surrounding areas, and we'll give it back to you at the end of your stay."<br/><br/>"Enjoy, but try not to be too driven away, ok?"<br/><br/>With that, he motioned to the employees to get back on the hummer, jumped on the drivers chair, waved good bye to the young tigers, and drove away. Less than a minute later, the sound of the hummer disappeared.<br/><br/>Tamara looked around, her tailtip flicking slowly, not really knowing what to do now. She glanced at Sar, smiling a little shyly.<br/><br/>"That's it... we're on our own now..." she said, ehr smile going to shy to a big grin as she spoke.
