Kaleeth clutched her weapon and shield close to herself. She was one of the few among this group which was actually well-armed, but she seemed to be even more frightened than most. She was worried about what would happen if these hunters broke through the defenses and forced them to run, and guilty about what that would mean. She didn't like that she was here hiding while Ahnasha was at the entrance risking her life for them. She wanted to help, but she knew that she would just end up getting herself hurt or killed, wouldn't she?

"I don't either. I don't want to hide here while the others are dying, but...what can I do? I can't fight, not well. Janius says I'm getting better, but...I haven't been fighting that long. All I can do is transform and let my beast spirit do it, but it isn't careful at all. I was hurt so, so badly last time I fought, but...I don't know, what should I do?" Kaleeth asked, almost begging for an answer.

As Ahnasha made her way to the entrance, she started noticing how agitated she was starting to feel. She had transformed simply to get here, but the longer she stayed in this form, the more restless her beast spirit became. It wanted blood, and she was yet to deliver on that need. That would not be an issue when and if these hunters arrived, but until then, it was becoming harder to think clearly. 

Ahnasha approached Vera and Darahil, doing her best to retain her concentration. At least if she was thinking about violence, her beast spirit would have something to look forward to. The defenses they had were...adequate, but that wasn't completely encouraging. They would be rather reliant on their fortifications to give them an advantage, so they needed to make sure they did not fail. She looked towards the cave beyond their fortifications, reflexively letting out a low growl as she thought about the hunters running in through it. Vera and Darahil seemed capable of preparing their defense, but there was still time, so she could still find some way to help. She knew she should spend no time idle until they arrived. She had to try to do something, to think about the problem like Meesei would.

"The...cave, leading up to the fortifications. It is pretty narrow. They won't be able to overwhelm us with numbers, since only a few can fit through at a time. But...they know that. This entrance...it is the only one, right? Remember, anything Galsek could know about our defenses, he told them. We have to plan for that. Is there any kind of weakness you can think of, something that would make defending harder? Because they will exploit it." Ahnasha asked.
