"Maybe if your fur wasn't so freaking rough . " He replied rubbing his wrist lightly,

"Why you little… . " Kyera growled as she arched back reading to leap at her friend . However, the wolf knew better, dropping from the tree he took off into the forest behind . She had to fight the urge to go after him .

Clovis entered the room, his sent meeting Kyera's nose she turned back to look at him . He walked to her side looking out the window that she seemed to be looking out . She sighed stepping back tilting her head, having forgotten she had asked Raina to call him . Clovis looked down at her, but something lower than that caught his eye . Lowering to his knee, he reached out to run his fingers over the floorboards just below the window . The metalic smell seemed to change as Kyera looked down as well .

At the base of the window a sc.r.a.p of cloth lay against the wall . A few blood stains splattered across the torn bit . Kyera frowned as she leaned down sniffing more . The core sent, not the b.l.o.o.d.y metallics but the deeper smell… the essence was familiar to her . A pang of pain twinged her heart, though she had no idea why .

"Good Girl, Moon . We will have to keep a eye out . " Clovis whispered, his eyes darkening as he picked up the sc.r.a.p . His hand pet over her head and she looked up at him . A soft sound of concern seemed to rumble from her chest .

"Come . It is time for sleep, or will you prowl tonight?" He continued to ask as though he expected a answer . She debated answering, but chose not to . She wasn't quite sure her basic excuses would work well enough for this prince . The secret couldn't be chanced . If found, there was a good chance her people would be in danger… . And she couldn't chance that .

The concept of sleeping here, where she could keep an eye on both Prince and Princess was tempting . Relaxing vibes curled and danced across this land making her smile softly . If she stayed, this home offered a restful slumber, untainted by danger . However, the warmth of the stone by her ear caused her to reconsider . This was not the time to consider safety and comfort but the life of her sister .

Kyera chuffed rea.s.suringly, before she jumped out the window, landing gracefully on the ground . Turning back to glance at him, he smiled at her and nodded his head . With that moment she knew, she was free to go .

Running fast as the night could carry her, she left and dashed across the forest floor . There was no rush she knew that much . The Stone could hold Mally safe until she could tend to her . Yet, something made her feel the need to rush back home . Leaping up through the branches, and in through the open door Kyera landed in the main room, where several people waited for her .

Lazren sat at the table, with Tang at his side . Both of them looked worriedly at her, as they sent another down the back way . Members of the Rebellion were being treated for their wounds . Without a word Kyera turned and got straight to work . She allowed her form to change, pulling on a thin tunic over her nakedness before helping with the wounded .

"Whose worse off?" She asked and a rabbit pointed to his friend . Without much prompting she went to work, healing each of them . Several hours were spent, mending wounds from a heedless war . Kyera learned 5 had died and the number of wounded was unsure . Once the house was empty of those needing her care, Kyera wiped the sweat from her brow with a bloodied hand . Her eyes cast to the tree line, where the moon was starting to set .
