Perhaps Mael had been correct, something within him did seem to recognize her. Tyger had not noticed it before, but when their hands touch it becomes apparent. The tiger within his mind or soul wherever it usually remained dormant, was not resting peaceful. It had become alert standing in the tall grass of the clearing in its forest home. It curls its upper lip back looking very much like it might be snarling, when fact it is tasting the scents in the air. During that brief physical contact the great white and black striped cat comes to just below the surface with a deep rumbling coming from its throat as it purrs with contentment. He feels a sensation unlike anything he has ever experienced as the tiger moves just below his surface. It is like the cat is nuzzling him running its body against him like cats do, but this is under his skin. A small gasp escapes him when this happens. Throughout the decades he has carried the cat within him, he has never seen it react this way to anyone. As her hand separates from his breaking the connection the beast retreats back to its grassy clearing, but remains fully alert. He smiles at her a rich warm smile that makes his now violet eyes gleam. “It is definitely a pleasure to meet you, Mael.”<br/><br/>Watching as Sarah causes her armor to appear and disappear, Tyger says, “That is neat and useful trick, and yes, in the armor you do look more paladinish. I still have never met a female paladin before or one with quite as pleasant a personality. The reason said paladin was so determined to kill me simply comes to a narrow minded view and seeing something about my nature which I cannot change to be pure evil. Even after several battles and my refusal to end his life, he could still not see me as anything other than an evil that must be purged. In truth the danger I pose to others is akin to the dangers of cornering a wild beast, but it is tempered by my human and elven mind, soul, and heart.”<br/><br/>Changing his posture and focus to include the entire group Tyger says, “If we can make it to the city before full night falls upon us, I suggest we make haste to reach the city then. Andrew, you seem most knowledgeable in this, so please lead the way. My most recent dream of this scene included a message saying time is short.” Turning back to Mael he says, “I will see to it that you remain with us, even if I must carry you. Do not let my size fool you I am stronger than appearance would suggest. I would have no problem baring your weight while covering many miles in haste.” He smiles to her and gives her a bow with a flourish of his right hand.
