Tarentek's silence worried Onyx, she glance back at him many times as they crossed the bridge, but could not make out the emotion on his face. She hoped it was just because he was tired, and kept vigilant watch on the skies for sentries. As they got to her den she rushed inside, starting a fire in the fireplace and lighting lamps in every room around the den. She motioned for Tarentek to come in once she had finished, and led him to a small room near the back of the den. 

"This is where you will sleep, please wait a moment." She went to the kitchen and got a large glass of water, returning to Tarentek within a minute. "Here, drink slowly. There is more." She said as she handed the cup to him. She went around the room, gathering up things she would have to move to another room by the door, and making the bed with a large white blanket and pillow. "Please try to rest now. I will call you out to the main room once the meal is ready." She walked over to the only hole in the walls of the room and hung a large sheet over the opening, covering it completely. "Also, do not move this," She said, motioning to the sheet. "It will keep anyone from seeing you as you sleep."

She left him then. If he did not come when she called she could try and wake him up, however she believed that in his state it would probably be better to let him sleep and feed him when he woke again.
