"Indeed, though I am unsure if we should stay here at all." Meesei pointed out. "It is safer in the city, but we now know where Cyrus has gone, and if we are fast enough, we might be able to find him before he departs to hunt the dragon. There are still some hours left in the day, so we could make some ground."

Ahnasha gave a brief nod. "You might be right, and I suppose we would be free to return back to the clan when it is time to rest for the night. It might be best for us to just leave the city now. And perhaps bring Leaps along with us? If we are attacked, he could be helpful."

"Or he could get hurt." Kaleeth said with some concern. "I'd hate for him to get hurt; I wouldn't know what to tell Julan."

"I know it would be awful, but if Leaps being hurt or killed meant that we all ended up being safe, that would still be worth it. We have trained him to be a war mount, and he is part of our family, but...he is still just a wamasu." Ahnasha responded. It was perhaps a callous statement, but it was not illogical.
