When Sarah begins to stir Tyger slows his pace and releases her as she wiggles free. In response to her panicked questions he gives her what he hopes is a reassuring look and gesture. When the woman in black says that he had saved her he nods in agreement. Now being free of any burden he increases his pace once again to stay with the woman in black. He finds himself torn between walking closer to Mael and staying near Sarah as he now feels a strange connection to both beautiful ladies. With Mael’s ability to touch the tiger spirit with in him, the tiger is quite definitely drawn to her. Sarah may now have a similar spirit growing within her and if so he will not leave her to deal with it alone as he had done. Then there is the simple fact that he had seen the way each woman had looked at him in his half tiger form they reacted without fear or disgust unlike any other companion he had ever had. He finally decides to simply follow the strange woman leading them through the city.<br/><br/>Tyger knew there was some special about their strange guide and it is only confirmed by the way castle guards allow them all to enter without question. When they reach the throne room and she reveals her true identity as Princess Zelda ruler of this land, he is not surprised. When she says the quarters have been prepared for them and has servant prepared to guide them to these quarters. He does not follow but instead stays behind as there is something he feels he must do before retiring for the night. He notices that Andrew also holds back and waits to see what the other man does.<br/><br/>When the guards enter carrying an unconscious man Tyger drifts silently back into the shadows of the throne room. Despite his current size and appearance he virtually disappears into the background. He watches the exchange with the captain of the guard and is rather amused at the results. Having some misgivings about his intended action during the display, he loses those misgivings as he watches the princess heal the unconscious man.<br/><br/>Joining Andrew in slowly approaching the Princess Tyger drops down to one knee, bows his head, and places both hands on the floor. While kneeing his body shifts, reduces in size, the fur recedes back into his skin, and his armor and equipment returns. He draws his sword and lays it at the princess’ feet. “My sword is yours, Your Highness. I may not be a traditional knight, but I have searched for many years for a place I can call home and a ruler worthy of my service. I believe that I have finally found both here now.”
