Roars of the tigress died down to a stop as she paced back and forth on the steps . Kyera turned human as she paced feeling deep inside she knew what she heard . Or had she? No it couldn't be…
"Have I been here too long? Am I going insane?" her words were directed by no one as she stalked back and forth quickly . Uncertainty flooded through her . If he had died, she would know . Then again would she be in denial? Well then again if he was dead she Shadows certainly would have told her . Or had they? The voice of Falda couldn't travel that far on its own… she growled again .

"KYERA!" Lazren shouted at her after several quieter attempts failed . She turned, lashing out at his chest . He barely dodged the strike, grabbing her wrist . "Whoa there tiger…tigress . My bad but still no hitting the bodyguard . I am required to take hits for you not from you . " he reminded . The wolf didn't release her hand . It wasn't till he saw Kyera's eyes refocus on the present that he let go .
"I am sorry, Lazren . I shouldn't have raised a hand like that . " her apology was soft and her eyes were vacant but he could hear her sincerity . He offered her a soft smile and nodded at her .
"No harm no foul deed . " He replied letting a playful grin play across his lips before becoming serious once more . "Why are you pacing, and do you realize you are almost nude out here?" He asked and Kyera's cheeks flushed with horror . The shadows had not dressed her because she had not called on them . All she wore now was the black band of fabric over her breasts and small tied on skirt . After less than a minute the shadows swirled around her and formed her customary dress in deep greens this time . "I didn't think so . " He replied with a chuckle stepping back and leaning against the tree . "Still want a answer to the first part . "
"Well, First off sorry . No… Just no . " Kyera spoke with her tones a bit tense from her realization . "So as far as your original question, I am restless . I thought I heard something… and it worked me up . " Kyera replied trying to explain without sounding crazy . Saying she heard her future mother in law crying on the wind would sound completely insane . . . Especially since they were so far away right now .
"Alright… Do you want me to run the Garden for a bit? See if the pack and I notice anything weird?" He offered trying to be helpful . It didn't do to have their commander this tense and freaked out mere days after a major battle . She had to go back to the Prince's side come morning and if she had no sleep ahead of time… that could be dangerous . The palace was a hard place to survive even with a decent night's sleep and all your wits about you .
"It wasn't in the Gardens…" Kyera replied almost dismissively as she turned and walked toward Mally, kneeling to check her friend's wounds . Mally had the decency to pretend she was just waking up, as if she hadn't seen her friend in such a state . Kyera offered her a gentle smile as she ensured the wounds were all still closed .
"Alright… that might be trickier but you said you heard it . Maybe others did too . I can send up a howl and see if I get any information back?" He offred and Kyera looked back at him a bit surprised . Mally chuckled, and then winced in reaction to the pain that shot through her frame . 'Wow that lion tore me up' she thought .
"You can do that? Communicate with wolves from the forest from this far away?" Kyera asked tilting her head to the side . Lazren laughed at her, and then bit his lips to try and hide his amusement at the silly question . She indeed felt childish for asking such a question . There were reasons the Wolves could never be ambushed .
