Evan blinked rapidly, feeling both foolish and annoyed; not an enjoyable combination.
::That's because there are no female warriors,:: he replied shortly to the tiger lir, speaking with the stubborn frankness of adolescense. ::You must not be true Cheysuli.::
::You simply never see them,:: Gwenneth replied sharply. ::They are exiled from other Cheysuli, and are forced to live without a clan. Many of them die. If I were you, young Evan-lir, I would keep a more respectful tongue around grown Cheysuli you do not yet know.::
Evan scowled in the general direction of Rio and the strangers and settled back against his branch to watch the three humans. ::Apparently your elder brother, Michael,:: he spoke privately to his warrior, ::has some strange friends he didn't tell us about.:: His tone was surly.
Back in the clearing, Gwenneth smiled at Rio and nudged Monet's shoulder reassuringly. ::You're not alone anymore,:: she whispered to him. ::None of us are.::

Angelina bowed her head so that her dangling hair would hide her smile from Jeff. The eagle lir was obviously young and inexperienced, but Angie was pleased to recognize in him a personality much like her own.
She splashed water into her hair. It didn't do much to the caked-in dirt, but the g.irl didn't seem to notice; she straightened up, knee-deep in the river, and gazed westward through the tree boughs to the mountain range that ted the horizon, bluish-grey with distance. Every peak was capped with some amount of snow.
"'S a long way," she commented. "But once we're over them, the eyerie cities are nearly a straight shot to the north."
"Woah!" Jeff cried, looking up from the fingernails he was trying to de-grime. "Whoever said we wanted to go see the dragons?"
"Oh, come on, you wimp," Angie replied with a wrinkled nose. "It would only take us a month or so to get there. Depends on how fast we travel."
"Distance isn't what I'm worried about," he told her, frowning. "It's the dragon part. Plus, that range is called Forbidden for a reason."
Angie looked at him over her shoulder, and a devilish light danced in her brown eyes. "But I'll bet that Cheysuli friend of yours wouldn't follow us there, if he still is."
Jeff's eyebrows shot up. After a moment of confused silence, he looked at Alexis. "What do you think?"
