Novak considered what he saw as he pocketed the mask.  Normally he'd be a bit relieved that the arrow's target wasn't him or Enli, but in these circumstances what he saw could actually be even worse.  According to Akando, the reason the Kyrinth was upset may have something to do with the hunters being irreverent of the deer.  If someone was going to shoot a deer within sight of the Kyrinth, during this very sensitive meeting, it might make this very powerful elder beast quite angry.  And those eye, staring at him...was this mystery assassin watching him even now?

He didn't have time to speculate.  He had to warn them before what he saw could come to pass.

[color=ed1c24]"I think someone's coming,"[/color] he spoke up as he approached Enli and the Kyrinth.  [color=ed1c24]"Over there, at the edge of the grove.  Something spooked the deer, over there."[/color]  Novak pointed to where he had seen the eyes, in the general area of where the deer had been startled.

There was always chance it could be a false alarm- if the Illuminator controlled what the mask showed, it could be possible to show things that aren't there, giving everyone present a reason to be upset with Novak and distrust him in future dealings.  Even so, he couldn't afford to dismiss this, not with what was potentially at stake.  A slightly annoyed Elder Beast was a less terrible outcome than a livid Elder Beast.

[color=ed1c24]"There's more,"[/color] he said, looking back Enli, then up at the Kyinth, a little apprehensive about revealing something that could only have been shown to him through supernatural means.  [color=ed1c24]"They...I think they intend to kill the deer."[/color]
