Ri'nakhad ran a claw through his mane, attempting to contemplate all of the angles of their plan. The Champion would be in the most direct and immediate danger, given that she would be the one that was face-to=face with them. However, he had faith in both her abilities and her judgment, so that was not the aspect of the plan which most concerned him. "Well, just at this one's first impressions with the plan, something could go wrong if they have any suspicion of our motives. We have not approached them in any meaningful way for as long as they have been with us, so calling them all together for an announcement could alert them. Perhaps we should wait until they bring themselves together on their own."

"They do all sleep in the same area." Ra'jorr commented. "If we get to them before breakfast, they should all be in one place. We will just have to warn the warriors to ready themselves discretely in the morning, and inform the other members of the clan nearby that they should back away once the confrontation begins. And, of course, we have to spread the word without alerting the soldiers."

Meesei nodded. It seemed as if the plan would come together if they could settle that final detail. "In that case, the last issue to address is how to ensure the clan knows what to do. Will it be possible to spread that information without it reaching the soldiers?"
