Watching her from the trees, Ramji has to shift slightly. The sun has not yet cleared the horizon, and still she seems to shine. The Hound makes itself known and her bravery at facing the daunting creature is admirable.

He stills as she scans the trees, waiting for her to pick him out among the lessening shadows. When she heads inside, he slips from the trees and talks to the Hound.

Moments later he strides to the door she came out of and peeked inside. The room was spare, but the feel of her permeated it. From a pocket he removes a dark blue yasmak. He drapes the scarf on a nail, knowing she will see it when she comes back. He spies the flowers and smiles.

Stepping from her room, Ramji closes the door quietly, The sun has just begun its true ascent, lightening the sky. He slips into the woods, turning back once to bow in the buildings direction before heading back for a bit of sleep. The Hound watches him, then returns to watching for Laila's return.
