Exton

Panther races into the clearing, Tomas flying just above the big cat, trying to keep up. Panther stops suddenly at the sight of strangers and Tomas stops just as suddenly and falls, landing on panther. Dust and dirt flies as the two wrestle and role, Tomas laughing, trying to yell at panther to stop but unable to get the words out.

Suddenly Stoney is there, lifting his son and brushing him off. “Your maman is going to choke us both....”

Alise is shaking her head when she joins Raina and Nick. “I dont know why I put him in clean clothes.... its hopeless...”

Her eyes widen at the sight of Lily and she looks to Raina who shakes her head slightly and says under her breath, “later...”

Stoney, this girl....she looks a little * fou...remember that beggar that was always near the cathedral? The one who claimed to be Marie Antoinette? She has that look in her eyes... 

Tannr trusts her Chaton, she has an important role in the raid... 

Alise, like Raina and Ky was not convinced. She watched Lily as her eyes darted around the group. Raina took Gracie from her, kissing the little girl on the cheek making her giggle.

“I wasnt sure if you were coming. Its awfully early...”

Alise nods, “It is. But Tomas would never have forgiven us if he couldnt be here. He worships Tannr... and Stoney wanted to be here for his sister. This will be hard for her, and knowing her, she will have a harder time admitting it and letting anyone try to help..”

Heads turn as Tannr and Tori approach the family. Good mornings are exchanged and Tannr asks if everyone is ready. He turns to Tori and kisses her, then whispers “I love you..”

“Just come back....” Tori tries to smile.

“I will. We have a date, you know...”

Tannr smiles at Tori's puzzled look. “for early summer, in the park...” Tori punches at his shoulder for his teasing, finally able to smile at him.

“Theres my girl...” Tannr traces the smile with a finger and gives her a quick hug. “See you soon, Red. I love you.”
