Lara would smile and stand to lead the servants, gathering her great-sword as they passed the shrine. As they group exited, it was the normal fare of Lara walking alongside the servants as the walked down the road towards the docks. Only this time the group wasn't alone. In a dark, deserted alley a figure sat motionless, its coloration making it seem to melt into the background. Even the alert Lara missed it, a very rare occurrence. After the small group passed the figure detached itself from the shadows and silently made its way forward into the moonlight. The pale beams revealed it to be a medium sized wolf, with a matte grey coat and icy blue eyes, that watched with an intelligence that betrayed its wolfish appearance. Silently following the group, the wolf stuck mainly to the shadows to avoid detection. 

Within the house Sarin smiled "Ah, he did not. I found it quite intriguing." Around them the house's servants would begin to clean up the dishes, the Wardens helping when they would not get in the way. A few of them began to pull heavy quilted blankets and a lighter blanket from their gear bags, setting the heavier blanket down on the floor at points around the garden. Somewhere in the the house a bell rang once more, signifying the end of dinner. At this bell the mood of the Lacrian's changed noticeably, they begain to speak in softer tones, a few games that involved bone dice began, though they remained quiet. Sarin turned to the two sitting next to him "Lord Imast, would you like to play a round, its a simple game really. The same offer goes to you Lady Anita, though if any of you would prefer the library is open to you, or you can turn in for the night."
