Sabine rolled onto her side, facing Peiter with her arms drawn up between their chests. She returned his smirk and spoke, "I did not think it would be very long before you mentioned that." She raised her brow and teased, "Are you sure you do not want to try another sword lesson? It has been a long time since we could do that as well."

Tzirret walked behind Ma'tanza and M'ibasa and leaned to watch what Ma'tanza was doing. He was impressed that she was able to spot the tick, but he suspected that the search had gone on for a while. Once it was caught, Tzirret walked to where Ma'tanza would not have to twist her body so much to face him.

Ma'tanza's question caused Tzirret to smile, look to the trees and fill his lungs with air. [i]"Tzirret feels..."[/i] he let out his breath through his mouth, [i]"...free. There is much more space again. It is good."[/i] Tzirret glanced at the spot next to Ma'tanza and pointed, [i]"Do you mind if he sits?"[/i]

Whether Tzirret could sit or had to sit elsewhere, he continued. [i]"This one does not suppose that Ma'tanza had duties tonight? Tzirret was thinking..."[/i] He glanced away and brought his hand up to scratch his chest, [i]"It has been a while on the ship where no one but the werevultures could hunt in their beast forms. Mine has been restless, so Tzirret wondered if you would be interested to hunt with him? He knows a little about hunting in this environment. He could show you."[/i]
