*watches with his inner eyes as the third form goes from four legs to two and stands like a man tilts head for a moment thinking and casting sense about..both wolf and the "assasin" or outside and midnight is in the cave*
*watches the assasin stand near motionless for a second or two and then starts to slowly manouver himself between the assasin and the cave entrance..becomes aware of the warmth and scent of midnight behind him...............

*Midnight sighed.*
*Under her breath*
Must be something about the male species....a little bit of danger and they go deaf.....
*Midnight tries again This time to the tiger who she knows has good hearing.*
*Thinks* When he wants to use it...
Coriolis unfade...before someone get's hurt...

*A faint shimmer and the watcher is revealed. His Staff still pointed directly between the Wolfmans eyes. His own never flinching from his opponent.* [Calling, but his voice is pitched low, almost growling] This night-stalker a friend of yours?

*Midnight fights two feelings. Joy of seeing her friend and another wanting to kick his butt for the attitude, but he looked exhausted so she calmed the latter.*
Sort of...maybe if you put that down you'll find out and some sleep as well. You look as if you need it.
*Midnight pauses before she carries on.*
We have something to look into but that can wait til morning. It's late and introductions have to be done.
*She steps around Wolf and taking hold of the end of the stave pointing at him pushes it down to the ground.*
Coriolis this is Wolf. Wolf this is Coriolis...fellow Watcher, friend and foster brother.

*The staff traces an upward arc past Rhiannons side before attaching itself across Coriolis shoulders. In place to travel but ready at a moments notice...*
*He extends a hand to 'Wolf'...*
[As if Wolf had just met a potential 'Father-in-law']
Greetings.... If your skills meet your perception then you will make a worthy sparring partner and ally.

*tilts head eyes still on the man* I spar less frequently than i Ally.......

*Broll steps out of the cave to introduce himself properly.*
Greetings Coriolis, I've known Rhia... I mean Midnight for quite a long time. *Broll had realised once he started speaking that Midnight did not like being called by that name*
I am known simply as the Brollachan. Traditionally I am found as a wall creature form, though currently I have decided to shape change into a human form for conveniance.

*A flicker of a distant memory crosses his mind...*
The Brollochan of Cornwall... I've heard of you. The watcher 'Joseph' spent many years following you before your disappearance... It's good that your abduction hasn't caused any permanent damage.
*The memory is tinged with sadness, Coriolis had been good friends with the clumsy oaf called Joseph during the years they had spent as children in 'The Den', Arios version of an orphanage... The man had been huge both vertically and horizontally. His hands possesing the skill of a common sledgehammer but his heart the care of a gentle giant.... The Rhinoceros of Arios....*
*Hakonatu had slain the Rhino as quickly and cruelly as an Ivory Poacher during that fateful night... The young watcher never stood a chance, His skull crushed by a falling pillar from the council chambers and his Ivory horn sawn off as a trophy by the looters of Hakonatus army...*

*Midnight looks into Coriolis's eye's briefly.*
Now is not the time to think about that...wait until we can deal the hand that has to be done and then remember and feel the anger....only then can remembering do any good...other than sting old wounds and cause us distraction. From what we have to do.....though at the moment...we seem to have hit a brick wall.
*Midnight heads into the cave and comes back out with some food.*
But at least it gives us time to eat, rest and catch up.
*Midnight holds out the plate of meat to Coriolis.*

*The meat is taken gratefully and devoured with gusto.... The last that Coriolis had eaten had literaly been 'on the hoof' at the time...* Thank You... I think I may be able to gift at least a small amount of knowledge to you Rhiannon. Your little friend, the Moogle, is still alive. I caught a glimpse of her in the Ice-lands. her fur is know as Black as the common coal and She ran at my approach... I still do not know why....

*Midnight sits down looking slightly puzzled.*
Well at least we know she's alive. I don't know much about Moogle's. Only what Mog told me, which wasn't a lot. Could be a age thing, a stress thing. I wouldn't know. Maybe she didn't reconise you....or maybe she just ran scared. The gods know what she's been through since our seperation.
*Smiles slightly*
I'm just glad to know she's alive.Hopefully our paths will cross one day. I hope soon. I miss her.
*Midnight pauses.*
Glad to see your appetite hasn't changed much. Remember there is three others here. I have some news of my own....Zeph and Diana are somewhere....and Tom for all I know is dead.
*Midnight waits for a reply. Unsure what sort of answer Coriolis will give towards the news of Tom.*

*He barely misses a beat...*
I doubt that 'Tom' has truly passed on... The Alzan have never been that accomodating to give us such a tiny pleasure. The heathen bastards wouldn't want us to smile at the thought...... As for the Chaos-Mage and his winged-companion, I owe him a sore ear for dropping me..... TWICE!
*He rubs his temples. Almost theatrical in his manner...* *The almost religious look of Oathed concern crosses his face once again...*
How have you held up since I saw you?

*Midnight looks to the lake.*
I've been fine...got a couple of more scars some bruises. Couple of run ins with the Alzan Assasin.
What ever our ancestors left in the caves.....was left there by Master Kaylo...it has a eagle on the lid. Just like Kaylo on the day of our magic lesson.
*Midnight smiles at the memory. Trying to pay heed to her own advice she gave Coriolis earlier and not burst into tears. Thinking of Master Kaylo brought on her thinking of her mother. With a sigh she stands up.*
Come on it's getting very late...you look as if your about to fall asleep where you are.
*Midnight walks back into the dark cave and brings out a couple of blankets and passes them to Coriolis.*
There's plenty of room in the cave for you.
*Midnight heads back to the cave but turns back briefly.*
Glad to have you back. I've kind of missed having your stubbon stripped self around. Life has been too quiet with out you.
*Midnight then quickly heads into the cave and picks up a blanket. Finds a quiet corner and beds down for the night.*

*The blankets are soft and wonderings of whether or not they have been 'borrowed' from the School crosses his mind... What of it however, if such a case is true, they can be returned at an appropriate time...*
*Noticing that the Brollochan and the strange being calling himself Wolf have both bedded down as well, Coriolis pads through to the quiet spot that he had settled into so many weeks ago. The same spot that he had lain after Rhiannons clumsily attempted assault on his head with a rock...*
*The Sky is clear, the moon full and shining and the gentle sounds of slumber fill the cave...*

*Broll goes back into the cave and finds himself a spot to lie down for the night.*
*to himself* "Good job this cave sleeps more than just 2 people".
*Broll settles down and goes to sleep for the rest of the night, wondering what the new day had instore and whethere Midnight would remember the past...*
