As a matter of fact, Nova did have a few questions to ask his host. How did she expect this little society to stay secret if she was so open to newcomers? Did she really think that they could just sit out the war? Is cowering in a cave having abandoned your friends, family, and packs really the true meaning of life? Of course, Nova didn't believe it was wise open his mouth to say such things, especially to one as gracious as SkyDancer, so Nova kept his mouth shut. WarriorDemon would probably just pry into his thoughts and tell her later, so why waste his breath? "No, but thank you again for your hospitality" Nova said in response to SkyDancer.

Nova looked over to Artemis affectionately dealing with Mishaa. It would have been touching to watch, if his mind was not occupied with other things. WarriorDemon had said their were "Forsaken cubs" out there, along with Mishaa who is already present. What, were they starting some kind of cult? Didn't really sound like a peaceful activity. Perhaps he had been too quick to decide not to report this place. Perhaps it would be a good idea to keep his eyes and ears a little bit more open. Never know when he would return home, and what information they would need.

Tiberius was cold. The sun was going down, and there was a gentle breeze that ruffled through his fur. He had gotten bored of watching a pair of wolves fight the fire with fire, and all the light and heat was hurting his eyes. What he wanted to do was find a nice warm stream and lay down in it, letting to current pass right over him. Maybe if he kept his mouth open, a fish would swim right in, and he could appease his growling stomach. Remembering that he had brought some rations from when he set out, he went over to the notch of the tree that he had stored his supplies in. There was the rope that he had snared...her with, a few bundles of dried fish wrapped in leaves, and a very crudely drawn map that he had been trying to make. He would have to scratch out the entire right side of the map now that the forest he had drawn was burnt up. Stupid fire, ruined his chance to practice drawing trees. Taking a bundle of dried fish, he munched on it, not even bothering to take off the leaf. Where had his companion run off too? He had seen her last with that wolf who had pulled them away from the fight, but it was too dark now to look for her. Ah well, at least he wouldn't have to share his fish, Tiberius thought happily.
