One of Kalea's large ears twitched slightly, and she opened an eye. Close against her neck, she could feel the heartbeat of the tiny wolf cub Khanada, and she peered down near her feet to see Dante wrapped in her tail, sleeping soundly. She smiled and closed her eyes again, warm and happy.
::I'm awake, Nashy. Didja see these two? Aren't they great? We're gonna have so much fun, traveling with them...::
Michael started quickly from his sleep as Evan fluttered uneasily on his nearby perch.
::Michael...:: the young eagle warned. The boy sat up, rubbing his eyes, and followed his lir's gaze to see Dante and Khanada snuggled up with the younger Jellicle. Horrified, his yellow eyes narrowed and his sharp-featured face looked fierce. But for a moment neither he nor Evan moved, but watched in silence the peaceful expression on Dante's too-often shadowed face, thumb corked securely in his mouth. He heard movement outside and with a darting glance saw the older Jellicle helping Gabriel ready for travel.
::You should get him away from her,:: Evan advised the boy suddenly. ::She'll hurt him.::
Michael nodded, his expression hardening, and moved forward to seize Dante away from the Jellicle. All of a sudden, however, on the other side of the cave the black wolf Rio raised her head, and her blue eyes bored into Michael's own. The boy froze.
