After gathering more wood, Taena sat in the shelter; bored as heck. "Oh, come on guys," she said aloud once.
Unbidden, thoughts of Brant came into her head, dead, wounded, imprisoned. She had to survive and punish the man who would do this.
A hot tear slid down her cheek, and she wiped it anger** away. "Stop it," she told herself, crying woulden't help anything, she needed to stay strong for Teegan and Sukrae. Lovebirds or not, they were still seriously hurt, and needed care.
That's enough time, she decided after about ten more minutes had passed. So she crawled out, and walked over to them; whistling a tune loudly, so they would know she was coming.
When she got to the stream, Sukrae was sitting up, displaying considerble intrest in a stump, and Teegan was about five feet away from him, examining some grass.
"Had a nice chat, then?" asked Taena, grinning at the couple. Teegan turned red.
"Um.. We were just discussing what we should do now."
"Who, you two, or everybody?" asked Taena, smile deepening.
"All three of us, of course," responded Teegan, carefully not looking at Sukrae, who was just as carefully not looking at her.
"Knock it off," Taena told them. "Anyways we should leave here soon, I think, because if we keep moving, then we are less likely to be spotted, and we can't just stay here."
"Well, maybe, but I think...."
However we shall never know what Sukrae thought, because at that minute there was a loud crashing sound from the bushes, and Taena spun around, dragon dagger in hand, ready to face whatever or whoever was there.

I'm hoping to maybe move up a rank with Turlenn.
