Quickstride was worried. Concerned though she was for the tyrannosaur, she was still thinking on the importance of reaching Blackfeather as soon as possible in order to evacuate the imperiled village. She needed to start off in the morning, but was too experienced to hazard doing so after a hard day's climb to Thermala and no sleep in between. She surveyed the scene before her. The only one capable of tying reliable knots was the human, with his opposable thumbs. Diligent though she was, the Troodon warrior was having a hard time of it and despite his enthusiasm to help Klaw was only complicating things by getting in the way and inadvertantly fraying the ropes with his claws. The only one who could pull was Kilo. Quickstride could feel the ground quake rythmically beneath her feet, and a moment later Highsoar swooped from the darkness annoucing the impending arrival of Mathaira, Ajzik and the mastadons. Quickstride decided now was the time to take charge.
"All right, there are more people here than we need," she announced. "Klaw, knight, I want you to come back with me to the inn, we're only in the way. Mathaira will be here short- correction, Mathaira IS here-" for the mastadon team had arrived on the scene- "to help tie the knots for the harnesses, and the mastadons can pull. Ajzik can stay as a runner for supplies, and Highsoar as a messenger and arial observer for the time being." Klaw and Blue Eyes protested to being pulled away from the action. Quickstride sympathized with them greatly, but knew it was in everyone's best interest that they depart. "The situation is under control," she said gently. "Our presence can only complicate things. Ajzik or Highsoar will come for us if we are needed. Right now, we will do more good if we rest up for the journey we have ahead of us tomorrow. Now come." With one final longing glance at the activity surrounding the fallen tyrannosaur, and the sad creature itself, the reluctant trio set off into the night to go back to the inn.
