"Mikka is guessing correctly." Cedar replied. The castle was very large. Cedar was still in awe. He looked into her eyes, and was almost entranced by their beautiful color. They shined, and their color had a warm emotion about it.

Into the fires of battle! Wuflric Von Shadowfang xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Wulfric Followed blade to the kitchen and to his surprise it was a rather large kitchen, not from what he had seen on his travels, the aromas were mouthwatering which only further made it obvious that he needed to eat when his stomach growled slightly. Though while his senses were abuzz with the sights and smells one scent didn’t escape his notice and try as he might he wasn’t going to be able to forget it, and that was Blades. Wulfric did a good job of hiding the fact that he was still intoxicated by that scent, and while it wasn’t as potent as it had been before it was still very noticeable.
He didn’t say anything at first more or less content to follow Blade, since she was guiding him at this point, and well he didn’t know much here so he simply waited to see what was on the menu before he made any assumptions.
The Kitchen was well stocked and based on the aromas something was always being prepared for consumption which he figured was more of a convenience more than not since there seemed to be plenty living there with different schedules so having a meal ready was admittedly preferable over having to suddenly prepare one and have someone wait to long.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Unto the anvil of war!

Blade was having her own issues at the moment with Wulfric just being within touching distance, but she was doing her best to ignore that and move on with the day. She didn't need another Picasso carved into her a**... Instead, she gestured to one of the servants that worked in the kitchen and pointed to the table under the window. The fact that she'd asked for food meant that he'd get something cooked with no silver involved, and something that would fill him up. Meaning that as she led the way to the table, the servant laid out a spread that would certainly impress the Were. She sat down across from him and accepted a cup of coffee with some of the preserved venison they'd delivered to her room before. It was smoke-cooked instead of jerky or anything like that, but she seemed to be craving the salt and protein. She wasn't about to argue with it, so she simply ate it and drank her coffee while Wulfric ate his meal. Partway through his meal, she got up and walked over to talk with a different servant, keeping her voice down as best as she could. It wasn't that she was hiding anything from Wulfric, it was more that she was trying to be discrete. She was making arrangements for food and drinks to be delivered to the... room... she'd told Wulfric about. Which meant that she was set on her course, no matter what he'd said. When she showed it to him, she hoped he'd understand instead of making a huge fuss. In truth, it was the only location she knew would hold her when her heat came, and would keep everyone else out and safe from her... Aside from Anube's death, Blade had no desire to come out of her heat to find dead bodies again... She finished her arrangements, the servant accepting despite his visible disapproval, then moved back over to the table for another cup of coffee. But as she moved to the table, it would have to be obvious to Wulfric that she was serious about the issues involved with her heat: the servant she'd just spoken to watched her walk with a heat in his eyes that he had to fight to break out of. And Blade was oblivious to it... She waited until he was finally finished before she spoke to him, "When you're ready, I'll show you the... room.... Then you can go check on the graveyard or arrange for your own supplies and clothes, or something else... It'll just take a few minutes," she said softly, her brown eyes showing her determination on the issue. In truth, for a female to voluntarily go into lockdown during a heat cycle was one of the toughest things to do. It took alot of strength to do it. And Blade was doing it with little to no help... As she'd told him before, she just needed someone to lock the door... She was doing her best to suppress and hide it, but she knew she'd probably have to get locked in tonight. She was starting to feel a hint of the burn, though she was suppressing her pheremones harshly. and hoping that he wasn't able to pick up on any of it just yet. She had to get into that room... Tonight... She looked over at the servant with a small frown, "Get that done now. That way I don't have to worry about it later," she told him simply, shaking her head slightly when he jumped like a startled rabbit and got going on the task. She finished her coffee then started to feel a little antsy for no reason that she could explain. So she got to her feet and carried her cup to the sink then noted that he was almost finished eating but couldn't contain the need to keep moving, though sehe wasn't sure why. "When you're finished, you can follow my scent to where I've got that room, or go on and do something else. I need to check on that room. Make sure I've got the supplies set up," she said, then had to leave. Staying in the kitchen was making her feel too contained... Maybe it was the servants in there... But she said that much then had to head outside... ((Exiting))

Once they got into the kitchen, Bane narrowed his eyes at the figure on the floor then gently pulled Arqden back, "False alarm for you... He's not that hurt. Just knocked out," he told her simply, already pegging the male as one of Jenny and Desmond's packmates. And from the look of things, he hadn't dropped too far, so he likely wouldn't be unconscious for long. He looked at the servants, all humans, and motioned for them to step outside for a few moments, then he stepped aside and let Desmond and Bast further into the kitchen. Bast looked down at the male and noticed his scent first, then figured that getting the weapons pulled back would be of most use. So she slipped down to the floor easily then motioned to the guns for Desmond to handle. She was best in the shadows, almost like an assassin. She guessed that was where Sebastet had taken her training, now that she thought about it. But it meant that she would do best with staying back and giving him and Jenny room. She stuck her head out the door to look at the servants, "Once we get him woken up and calmed down, you guys can come back in. Safer that way. Just in case. For now... Um... Are there any deliveries you need to make?" she asked them, gaining relieved smiles. From there, she moved the prepared trays to the hallway so that they could take care of that while they dealt with the guy on the floor. That didn't take long, so they had the kitchen to themselves for the moment. Then she heard the male on the floor give a groan and made sure to stay back a bit, hoping that he wouldn't make the same mistake Desmond had when he'd seen her the first time. Honestly, too many people saw the tail and fur and instantly mistook Bast for Sebastet then tried to kill her... It was getting annoying...

Jenny knelt down next to Wolfe as Desmond Picked up his rifle and stepped back slightly when Wolfe’s hand instinctively moved to reach for it as he started to move, groaning and sluggish from falling so suddenly. Though it didn’t take him long to realize he wasn’t alone not thinking to see who was there his hand grabbed the hilt of his knife and immediately tried to draw it with intent to use it though a hand stopping his part way and a voice that he recognized spoke up “Easy, you may have a concussion, no reason to go on the defensive” Wolfe’s vision was a blurry and let go of the grip and moved both hands up to pull his helmet off but was struggling, sighing Jenny helped him take his helmet off and simply held onto it as Wolfe rubbed his eyes and looked at Jenny for a moment before he spoke up finally “uh… Where am I” Wolfe groaned again as he tried to get up, but Jenny planted a firm hand on his chest and spoke “don’t, not yet. Your someplace safe and in good company” Wolfe sighed as he his eyes started scanning around him, his vision was started to clear up but it was still a bit blurry but from what he could tell he was in some kind of kitchen, stopping only when his head turned, his eyes focusing on Desmond who was checking the rifle and pulling the current ammo out as he did so, briefly pausing to look at Wolfe and nodded before he continued. Wolfe looked noted that there was quite a few around and looked at Jenny again and spoke up again “Jenny what’s going on? And can I get up now?” he glanced down at her hand and watched as she lifted it and nodded “yeah not going to do much good checking you while you’re on the floor, here let me help you up” Jenny stood up and offered a hand to him who in turn grasped it and then pulled him up carefully, though instead of letting it go Jenny dragged him over to a table that wasn’t busted and got him sitting down. It was at this point that Wolfe could get a good look at everyone present and wasn’t sure about those present but he would keep calm since Jenny and Desmond were there and simply watched as Jenny checked Wolfe for any issues. While Jenny worked Desmond reloaded the rifle and braced it up against a counter before he stepped over to Wolfe who offered a hand, Desmond grinned as he clasped his forearm and spoke up “long time no see” Wolfe nodded but cringed when Jenny touched a spot at the back of his neck and sighed but didn’t say anything and simply continued “too long, so what happened, I’m pretty sure I wasn’t anywhere near wherever here is” Desmond nodded and replied “well can’t say how you got here but we’re at a place on a sanctuary” Wolfe looked confused and replied “Sanctuary, what sanctuary?” Desmond looked at Jenny who finally spoke up “this island is a Sanctuary, we’re at a facility that supports the inhabitants on this island” Wolfe looked at Jenny confused as can be but spoke up anyway “ok so the island we’re on is a sanctuary but that doesn’t explain how I ended up here, last thing I remember was moving through a forest heading north east, the area around me got dark suddenly, I stopped at one point and could sense someone was nearby when I was suddenly grabbed by something and dragged into the ground, next thing I know I’m falling and I go black” Jenny shrugged and looked at Desmond who shook his head and turned around slightly to look at the others “any idea as to what had happened?” Arqden had been quiet as they had conversed and when Desmond directed his question to them she shook her head “hard to say, maybe a magic user relocated you here, hard to say for sure, though I would have thought you’d have had a better landing than that” Arqden looked at Bane and Bast in turn and just continued to lean up against the Wall her arms crossed.

Bast heard Wolfe's description and gave a shrug of one shoulder, "Sounds like Khajhan moved him. I've seen Sebastet do that a time or two. But she didn't like the person at the time, so..." she finished with another shrug, hoping that he wouldn't think too badly of Sebastet and Khajhan for the action. At least he was alive... The last guy Sebastet had done that one to... Well... At least it was a quick death... Although the cleanup had been a b***h... Bane heard it and gave a chuckle over it, "Yeah, she's rather infamous for her temper... Worse than a redhead..." was all he said over it. Instead, he looked out into the hallway and found a couple of the servants coming back from their deliveries and simply waved them in. "Come on in. I'm hungry. We'll replace the table later. But I haven't eaten a meal in a while and I'm hungry," he added, making the servant smile tolerantly at him as she moved to start pulling stuff from the fridge to start cooking. She started with venison steaks that had already been marinating, "Don't kill those steaks, for the love of the gods!" he couldn't resist the warning and gained a glare for it. Bast passed him an exasperated look and put a hand on her hip, "They know how to cook steaks, Bane. Behave or I'll see if you're skin can be perforated in this form," she warned him then moved over to Desmond and gave him a kiss to his cheek for taking care of the firearms then moved to raid the fridge for extras to add to breakfast.

Wolfe watched as a woman spoke of someone called Khajhan and sebastet doing this kind of thing and had to wonder if he had a run in with one of them, though he didn’t say anything at first as he watched her give Desmond a kiss and was at this point that he noticed the mark on him and shook his head “do they know about that?” Wolfe pointed at the mark and glanced at Jenny who sighed, Desmond shook his head “no, and I’d rather it stay that way” Jenny chimed in before Wolfe could say anything “oh come on now, don’t go and get serious on him, he’s young after all” Wolfe sighed and replied “true but still, too many risks in having a mate, especially if RRT ever found out” Wolfe stood up and stepped over to Desmond and just looked at his mark briefly before he continued “is that worth the risk?” Desmond glanced over at Bast who was raiding the fridge and back at Wolfe nodding “yes, she’s worth the risk, and is the reason I intend to stay here with her” Wolfe looked at Bast and nodded “very well, I won’t stop what is already been done, just be careful” Desmond nodded and watched as Wolfe stepped over to his rifle and collected it and then looked at Jenny and Desmond both “I’m going to have a look around if you need me” Jenny replied “why not have a meal, if I know you, you’ve been on the move a while take a breather and get something to eat” Wolfe shook his head “thanks, but no, I’ve still got a job to do, but I’ll be around if I’m needed” Jenny simply sighed and nodded and watched as Wolfe left the kitchen through the door they came in at, Jenny looked at Desmond who shrugged “it’s alright you know how he is” Jenny nodded “yeah I know and one of these days he’s going to collapse from exhaustion” Desmond nodded “well good thing we’ve got you to look after him if that does happen” was all he said as he stepped over to the fridge where Bast was and ran a finger down her spine to get her attention and simply looked at what she was getting and chuckled “hungry are we?” Jenny watched Desmond and Bast a moment before she simply shook her head and turned her attention to other things and simply sat down at the table she was at and simply laid her hands on the table as she sat there thinking of what she was going to do at this point, it was clear she couldn’t follow orders as to do so meant she was going to have to burn this place to the ground and slaughter the inhabitants without mercy, something she was struggling to come to terms with. Arqden simply rolled her eyes as she watched Bane and stopped leaning up against the wall and walked over to the table Jenny was sitting at but didn't say anything since she seemed occupied with her own thoughts and felt it best to leave them be, Desmond seemed to be adjusting easily to being around here which was understandable since she too had surprisingly an easy time adjusting to this place and felt at home here.

Bast smiled at Desmond over her shoulder as she poured some juice for everyone, "I'm starving... We have been a bit busy, after all... And we've burned alot of calories since our last meal..." she teased him a bit, unable to resist it. She passed him his glass then carried the others over to the table and passed them around before heading back to watch the food getting cooked, with her stomach actually growling from the scents. And she did have a point, they'd been very busy in multiple ways since their last meal... Bane watched as Wolfe left the kitchen, guessing where he was heading. But he'd hit the garden first, and that was always impressive. Still, he whispered for one of the servants to show him the Ramparts and leave him a snack there. Then he turned to Jenny as she put her head on the table and rolled his eyes over it, "Oh come on, Jenny... You're smarter than that... Only one group really wants this place taken down that badly... I have a feeling that your organization won't take too kindly to being the patsy for someone else's power play. One group has been after Sebastet and this place fromt he beginning. She's a threat to them. This place is a threat. This place is hope and freedom for numerous races and they live here in peace, even intermarry and breed. You're smart enough to figure this out and figure out when you're being used. From what I 've seen of you so far... You're not one to be used by anyone..." he pointed out to her. He may have been a bit harsh with it, but someone had to say it out loud... He looked over at the servant cooking and gave a small sigh, "When my meal is ready, would you send it down to me? Apparently my temper is fraying with my hunger and I'm not fit company," he suggested and smiled when she agreed without argument. He looked at Arqden and gave her a respectful bow that would have looked suitably impressive if she hadn't seen Ash do it better, "Perhaps later we can discuss suitable reading material, milady..." he offered to her before rising again and turning to the other couple. "As for you two... Perhaps you out to be brainstorming solutions instead of getting frisky... Plus, I have a feeling that you, young lady, haven't given him his Gift yet... Get to it..." he said simply then left, heading for Sebastet's Tower then down into his cave. Bast gave a heavy sigh as he left then gave a shrug of one shoulder, "Well, even grumpy, he's got a point... What were your orders Jenny? I know Desmond's were to take out Sebastet. What about you?" she asked, ignoring the comment on the Gift for now. She'd get to her Mating Gift for Desmond later. Sebastet had already given him one, but hers for him had to be special...

Arqden sighed and shrugged as she watched Bane leave, he was proving to be quite a character, and found it odd he was offering her recommendations for reading material, truth be told she hadn’t found much trouble finding interesting reads since she got there, after all the library was surprisingly full of literature that the Great libraries in the elven realm didn’t even have, though the books here were of human make from what she could tell but surprisingly a lot of them were intriguing, perhaps she would have to take him up on his offer one of these days and just watched Jenny. Jenny looked at Bane and sighed as Desmond looked at her with the same look and spoke up “that’s the issue, we’re dogs of war, being told to do someone else’s dirty work is apart of our job description, RRT takes on most jobs provided that the one issuing the job is verified through normal channels and that they can afford to pay to have RRT handle the issue” Desmond nodded in agreement and looked at Bast when she spoke up about their missions, Jenny replied at that inquiry “that’s simple this was a class three assault mission, mission parameters were simple hit the target location and remove a threat to RRT special operations and free this area up for clienteles interests, Client wasn’t disclosed to me, since that wasn’t relevant information, but RRT cleared the mission as usual and assigned me to head off the assault with three assault teams, two arrived on the beach with me before he snatched me, the third was on standby at an offshore outpost. All in all around five hundred personnel had been allocated for this mission” Arqden raised an eyebrow and spoke up “five hundred men, seems excessive for a simple attack on a castle with no strategic value” Desmond looked at Arqden and spoke up “what do you mean, the armory here was chalked full of arms and equipment” Arqden sighed and replied “this castle is a sanctuary not a military location, the equipment there is for the benefit of the people who take up residence here so that they can defend themselves from the one threat that seems to target this island on a frequent basis, the hunters from the church, but the people here don’t have any real military training, at most they are just a militia, if anything drastic happened that would require military assistance, in all likelihood either the Elven realm or the demon realm would send aid to that effect, the demons have a fierce military as do we elves” Desmond nodded and looked at Jenny who seemed to be getting a better understanding on the situation and spoke up “so the church would stand to benefit from the destruction of this place?” Arqden nodded “of course after all this is a place of hope for all races as Bane pointed out, what better way to destroy that hope than by destroying the very place that gives them hope” Arqden stopped at that point and took a drink from the cup in front of her and put it down looking at Jenny who seemed reserved. Desmond sat down and looked at Bast “well it seems we’ve got a issue that’s serious, five hundred suppressors isn’t something to take lightly, I’m not entirely sure why RRT declared this a level three threat, Jenny where’s the outpost as I wasn’t told of any offshore location” Jenny shook her head “not entirely sure I wasn’t exactly privy to that either, I just know that three assault teams were assigned two came with me, the third was already there on standby, this wasn’t something that just happened overnight, they’ve been staging this assault for a while before I was assigned to it, I know that there is one as I was told that if additional support was needed to notify the offshore outpost to deploy assault team three, though you can be sure that assault team three won’t be the only one’s there, likely a garrison will be there to maintain security, assault team three being there was likely intentional for this one op” Desmond nodded and looked at Bast again concern on his face and being relayed through their bond, he was certain they were going to need to tread very carefully, though he was curious about what Bane meant about a gift.

Bast felt Desmond's curiosity over the gift and rolled her eyes at him as she moved to the table to sit down, "Later... I need permission from Sebastet first for what I want to give you. I'll explain the whole thing after I eat," she told him firmly as the servant simply gave a soft laugh and started putting food on the table. She dug in almost instantly as she considered the rest of the situation. After a few bites, she frowned at Jenny, "Is there any chance that RRT knows this is a sanctuary and doesn't care? That they're only in it for the money? That they know exactly where the money is coming from?" she asked then continued to eat. She did have a point, after all... About the only ones out there that could afford the bounty on Sebastet AND pay to have the island razed, had to be the Church. Very few had that kind of money in the human realm. She knew there were a few dragons that could afford it, but they wouldn't dare after Bane adopted Sebastet as his honorary daughter. There might have been a few mages or other rich types that could afford one of those, but not both... That left the demons or elves... She cleared her mouth and looked at Arqden, "Considering the prices on hiring out for both Sebastet's bounty and taking down the island... Is it possible that an elf is funding it? I know the demons won't since Lareth made Sebastet an honorary sister. The dragons won't since Bane adopted her ages ago. But I don't know the elves as well. Any possibility?" she asked it on purpose and knew Arqden would answer it just as seriously. Bast was deliberately eliminating all the other possibilities for hiring RRT for this. By asking Arqden what she did, she knew that the very intelligent elf would be able to put down all the other potentials and leave them with only one that front that kind of money. Maybe she was twisting the proverbial knife, but it needed done. From here, they could figure out how to deal with RRT over the rest of the problem....

Desmond sat down next to Bast at the table as the others moved around to sit there as well and nodded when she mentioned that she needed permission to give him whatever it was she wanted to give to him, understandably he simply left it at that and started to eat. When Bast asked about RRT knowing Desmond and Jenny both looked at each other with knowing stares, Jenny nodded “of course, as far as RRT is concerned this is just another job that they’ve been contracted to carry out, all clientele is verified before any assignment is given to a dog of war, the money usually is confirmed upon acceptance of the contract and assignments are issued as needed giving us only relevant information needed to carry out our mission.” Jenny looked at Desmond and nodded as they both listened to Bast speak further and both of them just looked at Arqden when she thought of an elf funding this which caused to be choked up when she had tried to drink something and taking a moment to catch her breath before she spoke in all seriousness “an elf, honestly I don’t know any who’d be so foolish since the island is our only lifeline to the outside world and all of the goods that come with it. Sure, it is possible but again I don’t know who’d be ever so foolish as to cross Commander Wren by attempting to compromise the peaceful relations we have with the island. Granted we do make a lot of goods ourselves but I wouldn’t call the Elven realms fully self-sufficient considering there are some things we just can’t acquire by normal means which also means we have to rely on certain trade goods coming through the village and the island. To compromise that trust we have with the island and Sebastet would potentially impact what kind of goods we can acquire through trade which admittedly are just as vital as anything else we need to survive” Desmond sighed slightly as he thought that bast might have been onto something but Jenny cleared her thought which only caught all of their attentions “if I may add another possibility to this conversation” Desmond nodded as did Arqden and she continued “RRT isn’t the only group operating from the mainland, there’s always a possibility that one of the wealthier groups are funding this op, one they may have the money but not the manpower or the kind of assets that RRT has to deal with any threat out there. I wouldn’t honestly put it passed the church to try something but considering how much the church sees non humans and above all hybrids like us, it is no secret that we dogs of war walk on a knife’s edge when dealing with the church, they’d just as likely utilize the very hybrids they despise just to achieve their ideals but…” Desmond chimed in “RRT personnel and the church don’t exactly get along, and a lot of us have had to deal with the church’s hunters on plenty of operations in the past, the church tolerates us when a mission is required a certain touch that only we can provide but beyond that it’s not unusual for us to butt heads with members of the church who cross our paths simply because they are as much a threat to our success as any other group out there” jenny nodded and took a bite of her food as did Desmond.

Bast listened to them, eating in the process, then finally sat back with a cup of coffee, "With the price tag on Sebastet alone, the only one that could afford to pay it has to be the Church. Which means that RRT has approved of the Church using you guys to do that one. Taking out the island as well? Again, the only one I can lay down that could afford the price tag is the Church. From what I'm seeing..." she shook her head a bit as she tried not to see it in her head, but knew that it was useless to unsee it now. "I would wager that eventually, RRT will wind up sending all of you here, then allowing the Church to 'cleanse' the island..." she said softly, hoping that they could put it together and see the horrifying reality of it. Before anyone could say anything else, Sebastet and Khajhan walked in. Sebastet was always striking to look at, but with Khajhan there as well... The two of them easily turned heads... Bast automatically got up and moved over to whisper something to Sebastet who sighed heavily over it as she looked at the younger Hylarr for a long moment then gave a nod, "Allright, kitten... I'll open it for you... But I'm limiting it to them alone. Make sure that he understands that..." she said softly, then used the shadows to pull a key and a scroll from her private library then offered them to Bast. Bast took them with an excited jump and gave Sebastet a kiss to her cheek for it. She noted the Mating Marks and impulsively gave Khajhan a kiss to his cheek as well then moved back over to Desmond. "When you're finished eating, I can give you my Gift. But you have to see it first. Just you and me," she told him softly. Sebastet frowned, though, "Where's the lizard?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. The servant doing the cooking turned around with a slightly concerned look, "He opted to eat downstairs. He seemed to be a bit... I'm not sure it was entirely hunger that was making him grumpy... I'd send someone down to check on him, but he sent word back up that he doesn't want anyone else down there. I'm a bit worried about him, to be honest..." she said simply, making Sebastet frown a bit more. That behavior wasn't normal for Bane. She wanted to check on him, but she also had the ruined portal to check on, the RRT troops to check on, Dancer to check on, and possibly paperwork to sign in the office... Oh yeah, she also had to check in with Cain...

Khajhan stood with Sebastet and just watched as Bast approached them and spoke with Sebastet about something though he wasn’t entirely sure why and even more confused by the key and scroll but didn’t say anything since it was clear that there was a reason for them. What surprised him the most was when Bast gave him a kiss on the cheek after Sebastet and it was after she walked back to the table where the others were that it donned on him as to why, she had caught sight of the mark he had given Sebastet and smiled lightly as he stepped close to Sebastet and looked at her seeing through their bond as to what was on her mind after the maid mentioned that Bane was downstairs though wasn’t entirely sure where that would be, though before he could say anything on the point Jenny spoke up “I’ll check up on him, if that’s alright” Desmond and Jenny had been looking at each other when Bast had mentioned a sour fact but Desmond was a bit surprised by Jenny’s suddenness of wanting to check up on Bane and just looked at her “are you sure?” Jenny shrugged “who knows, besides that overgrown lizard owes me so if nothing else I’ll have more of a reason to go see him than anyone else right now” Desmond nodded and looked at Bast and smiled “alright, I’ll follow your lead love, and Jenny” he looked at her who was looking at him weird “you be careful” Jenny sighed and replied “you don’t worry about me, I’ve dealt with enough dragons to last me a lifetime, what’s one more dragon to add to that list” Desmond seemed concerned but didn’t say anything. Arqden just rolled her eyes and spoke up “well I’ll take my leave for now, If there’s anything I’m needed for before we leave to deal with the enemy force let me know” Desmond and Jenny both nodded and watched as Arqden got up and started walking towards the door pausing briefly to give her respects to Sebastet and Khajhan with a slight bow before she left and headed back into the garden. Jenny took a drink of the coffee in front of her finishing it in one breathe before she replaced it back on the table and stood up looking at them a moment before she took off outside as well patting Sebastet on the shoulder as she left, Khajhan wasn’t very sure why she did that bit she simply stood there a moment before he placed a hand on Sebastet’s lower back getting her attention but didn’t say anything since there wasn’t much need to.
