Fireblade: I hate disclaimers. Kell, will you do it?
Kell: :Bondmate don't own. You no take money.: *cleans claw*
That's over with now...reviewer responses now! Have blueberry pie!
Cerulean Sky: I know. They're fun.
Vreader: *hands over banana cream pie with butterscotch* I try not to argue with nice reviewers!
Kierseth: Exclamation points!!!!! !!!
Snowfire the Kitsune: What does your last name mean? Yeah, this is sorta like a reeeeally long intro...but I've written other stories.
Course, this is the first one that isn't set in Valdemar...well, except the beginning of Clans...
Darkfyre: Okees, thanks! Um...I think you should set them on his physical trail, since he has some very complex protections that do nasty things from those who travel between worlds...
Slivervine: Here you go!
Senashenta: *laughs*
Dragonsdaughter1: Thankees!
Muse Responsible: Rrissa!

Helia and I wound up sharing a room-an arrangement which meant we would share a tent in the field. Thera explained that it saved money on tents if we split one.
"This will be far better than at home-I shared a room with three sisters!" I exclaimed as I practically skipped down the hall.
Helia laughed at me, and Kree sat patiently on my arm.
Thera was leading us, and a thought occurred to me. "Thera? Where can I put Kree?" I asked anxiously.
"Well-we have a very tiny mews, but I doubt they could accommodate your friend. Ah-I'll put you in a big window and you can nail a perch to it or something..."
Kree bobbed his head to catch my attention. :Bondmate nail stick to window, also perch inside for rain, all good.:
"Kree says that if you could get a perch for him inside too, he'll be fine."
Thera asked about his care here and in the field. "Well, I'll need to hunt with him every few days while we're here so he doesn't get bored, and in the field-I think he could sleep in our tent, if he had to. Kree can hunt for his keep-"
"I don't think that'll be necessary, but I will keep that in mind. So, an inside and outside perch here, and a perch for the road?"
"And a tray to go under the perch, please-he casts pellets and when he's asleep, his instincts take over-and I have the rest of the things he'll need."
Thera stopped a passing servant and gave him some rapid orders.
The servant nodded and hurried off.
Thera opened a door and showed us inside. "Your home for however long you stay with us."
Helia, Kree, and I looked around.
There was a large window and two beds on a wall, not to mention a water closet, a fireplace, a weapons rack and a trunk at the foot of each bed.
"Looks good to me," said Helia as she claimed the bed closest to the door.
I set Kree on the bed and opened the window.
A vista of rooftops, the wall, and some of the land beyond greeted me.
"Good view?" asked Helia, lounging on her bed.
"Beautiful."
Just then, the servant came in, his arms full of a hammer, nails, a staff, a block perch, and a tray. I hurried over and relieved him of it, then tried to figure out how the staff would nail to the window.
At last, I stumbled over an idea and put it into action. First, I nailed the staff into place, then found a crosspiece and used it for support. Kree hopped over and inspected-stepping onto it when I finished. :All good.:
I turned and found Helia had set up the block perch. "Thanks."
"Don't mention it."
I lay on my bed and said, :Kree? Mind taking me for a ride?:
:You heavy.:
:No, a mental ride...:
Kree drew me until I was looking through his eyes. He/I launched from the perch and winged over the town, over the walls, and higher and higher-
I marveled in the sensation of the wind beneath me, the power of my/Kree's wings.
Kree gave a ringing cry and flew still higher...
