*A pair of emeralds watch him intently from the upper branches, 2 little green stars amongst a cosmos of Space and Forest Canopy. A hazy shape suddenly drops to the ground, the rustling of leaves and branches the only evidence of the breakneck descent...* *Four paws touch down on the leaf-covered surface and the White Tiger reveals itself ...* ...And now you know what drives us, friend. Now you know why I 'overprotect' her.. The consequences of her getting hurt are beyond what I want to comprehend... Enjoy your time with her but mark this, bring her to harm and your skills will never be enough to survive the night.... *He looks over to the inert form of his fellow Watcher, the only family that he has left.* Let's get her back to the Falls... I've heard of a trader in knowledge and antiquities in the village. She might be able to help us with Kaylo's Seal.

*Midnight slept through the little exchange. The late night and emotional turmoil draining her of energy last night. Not too many hours had passed, the sky was lighting, turning a peach then to pink then to a lovely blue.*
*All of a sudden she felt something nudge against her back, the clouds of sleep drowing out her senses. Another nudge and she groaned and turned over onto her back her arm flailing out faster and harder than she actually intended...arm met fur and a rather tired Midnight usddenly woke up....to find two rather surprised yet annoyed green eyes looking down at her....She took in the tiger form winced and smiled.*
Sorry..I didn't mean to...
*Sitting up quickly Midnight rose to her feet and stretched. Getting rid of the knots of tension that had settled into her back and shoulders through out her sleep. Midnight looked from tiger to Wolf and back again. The men exchabged glances but nothing was said. She pondered briefly over what she had missed but she knew neither of them would give her the information she wanted to know. With a inward sigh she turns to Coriolis.*
I expected you here hours ago..What kept you?

*The Tiger frowns for a moment but quickly the cockiness of his youth returns to the fore...* My dear Rhiannon, What kept YOU? I've been doing exactly as I was always trained to do... WATCH... If you decide to let your guard down amongst these trees, then may the Gods alone help you! *His tone is that of an old School-Master and it's obvious that he's taking a rise out of Midnight...* If your solo 'walk has finished and returned you sufficiently to our current realm, we have work to do...

*Midnight raises a eye brow but lets the comment go by with out her usual heated temper getting involved. There was indeed work to do and she had wasted far too much time in her grieving for Tom and talking to Wolf. Time didn't stand still no matter how much you wished it would.*
I'm ready when you are Coriolis...but where to? I don't think we really have any leads on where to go from here...

That may be true but leads can be created just as they can be followed... Pack your gear. I've already assembled everything that I can but your personal belongings are untouched...
We're heading to Wolfenden...

*Midnight quickly gathered her few items that she had and started towards the Falls themselves.* Right my items are few and easy to pack. *The trio started a brisk pace towards the falls and the cave. The tiger and Wolf waited outside while Midnight collected her few things and threw towards the tiger the bags they had. Each bag landing heavily at his front paws. Just missing them by mere inches.* *Wolf smiles icily at the tiger but smirks lightly as one of the bags gets a little too close for comfort and the Tiger moves back a step or two.* Midnightwolf: Well I'm going to Wolfenden any way...I need more supplies and need employment before my cash runs out. *Wolf walked into the cave in silence gatherd his items together as Midnight watched with a puzzled look. She shrugged to herself and headed for the exit of the cave. Giving Wolf time alone. She put a back pack on her back and evened out the heavy weight. The cloth wrapped Seal in her hand. She through a questioning look at Tiger...* *Mentally* He coming along?? *Mentally from Coriolis.* Seems that way to me...you must of made a good impression.... *Midnight smiles and laughs gently...* Yeah right.... *At that point Wolf emerged from the cave again and smiled at the curious pair.* Midnightwolf: I'm ready...are you two?!?! *The two Watcher's exchanged glances and nodded their heads. The three heading towards Wolfenden.* (OCC: Continued in Up To No Good: The Marketplace)
