Thane glanced at Matthew with a grin and then chased after his mate, catching her as she turned back to look for them. With a laugh, he wrapped his arms around her mid section and lifted her face to face with himself. "You know Hayley, if anyone would know what I'm capable of, I'd think it would be you." He said playfully. "After all, you're the one who knows me best. Especially after all this time." He kissed her again, set her back down with one hand still wrapped around her waist and turned to Matthew. "Hey Matthew could you do me a favor? There's a small box in the horde room. It's gold, inlaid with precious jewels, mostly Sapphires. Could you grab that for me and meet me up at the summit? It's a little precaution for today. The only thing is you can't open it." His fingers tensed up ever so slightly as he talked about the box, its contents obviously unsettling. "After that, feel free to duck out and go have some fun. I can handle things from there."
