Kalea gave her sister a stern glance, clearly smelling the blood running from her hand. ::As you wish,:: she said with a small smile, and turned back to the children.
The older boy, Michael, was still looking highly suspicious. He had had no idea that Jellicles actually existed, but he wasn't about to reveal his surprise. "They... they saved you?" he asked Gabriel, looking from one Jellicle to the next. "But why? Why did they even come near you?"
"Nice to meet you, too, Mike," Kalea muttered. Lifting her ears at another cry from the eagle, she called a hello to Evan, as well. Suddenly, the eagle appeared seemingly out of thin air, alighting upon a thick branch perhaps ten feet above the cave's entrance. He was no more than a fledgling, Kalea noted, just gaining his resplendent golden flight feathers, but his spirit was evident as he turned a fierce eye to observe the Jellicles. Michael glanced up at him with the first trace of softness Kalea had yet seen, and then turned back to the Jellicles with a stony countenance.
Ignoring Michael's angry stare for the moment, Kalea turned again to Dante, the smaller boy, and the white wolf cub hiding beneath Rio. As she spoke, she lapsed unconsciously into a slightly less sophisticated form of speech. "'Lo, Dante, Khanada," she said gently. "S'okay, Dante, we're not gonna hurtcha. We'll get to be buddies, you guys and us. We're really not tha' scary... No more than you, 't least." She grinned and winked.
