Liz frowned at how the woman was talking to Bastian. The beastkind wasn't stupid. Maybe rash but not stupid. Rash maybe but not stupid. He survived in a world that she barely understood. She didn't like the way the woman treated Bastian but she didn't care say anything. It was the first time that her status, rather than her lack of courage, stopped her from doing something. Liz mught not be able to stand up for herself but she had stood up for others in the past. 

She reached out and touched Bastian's paw. She didn't know much about magic but she could see that the woman's magic was similar to his. But she didn't think that meant that she was on there side. Liz hesitated a minute before expressing her concerns[color=ec008c]. "Bastian what did moving the horse and wagon accomplish? The guards will know you have it. I don't know where this tunnel goes. Do you?" [/color]

They couldn't really afford the delay but something wasn't right here. Liz didn't know what it was. She thought they needed to stop and evaluate the situation. Moving the wagon accomplished nothing as far as she could see. It only delayed them which couldn't be a good thing. They needed to be ready for whatever was at the end of the tunnel.
