It would not do well to have all of their eggs in one basket--in "fireball formation", as old Dimnee Zaklbark back at the guild had called it.<br/><br/>Instead, he stayed silently upon the great snake, straddling her body, feeling her rhythm and breath as her pink tongue flitted in and out of her sinuous white body, his own reacting in kind in the unconscious effort of remaining atop her.<br/><br/>A spell was upon his lips, one of swiftness meant to target the snake in order to carry them quickly forward should any ambush come out. His mouth twisted in a silent snarl as he contemplated the dead animal in front of them. No normal creature would injure an animal, and then leave it so. Even if it had been a mighty bear, the bear would have given prior warning, and the cat would have had the instincts to run.<br/><br/>No, this twisted event was the result of something sentient. And it had better hope that Telthor didn't find it, or a reckoning would be due.
