[ COMPLETED ]

Sif listened as the Ty wolf made little barks and sounds, seeming to figure out where he could rest, finally finding a spot somewhat close but not too close. It had never occurred to her before that a blind wolf could do so well at finding his way in such a manner and she made not to perhaps find a way she could consider that more if he did end up staying around. Then, he and Qara mentioned their tiredness and she nodded, wagging her tail pleasantly. <b>"You are guests here, you may rest. There is an exit out of here that does not require the boulder if you wish, and I can show you to the food storage, which is underground in a place where it can stay cool. Do not worry to bother me for anything, just howl, I tend to stay just outside of the camp, keeping patrol."</b> The giant grey explained in her gruff tones, although they were warm towards the concept of the visitors needing anything at all. She would not hesitate to aid them at all should they need it. However, she did respect their need for rest and moved to exit the area, to go back on patrol unless they needed anything else.

Ty nodded at Qara, "I will be fine here, the cold doesnt bothrr me to much and I can still feel the heat from the fire a bit here."

Sif continued on, making comments about food and that they would be able to stay. He was glad that she was willing to be helpful and wondered if he would ever be able to provide in a similar manner, or if they should make their home here. Seeing Qara resting closer to the fire he conclued that she would not be comfortable enough to stay here and make it her home.

He was happy that they would be able to get some rest. His eyes drifted shut, and he was struggling to stay awake.

The large Lerk snickered a bit at the words of the other female. "I'm sure anywhere here would keep the meat cool, huh?" she joked, then offered a brief bow of thanks. "I'm sure I could hunt something around here, if not, I could probably sniff out the food stores, but that would be my last resort. Either way, thank you so much. We will howl for you if we need anything." she told Sif, and with a brief look over to Ty, who seemed to be falling asleep, she flopped onto the cold rock, curling up close to the fire pit, hoping it would warm her soon.

Sif nodded to them both and smiled at Qara, appreciating the jest. She also appreciated that she offered to hunt, such was definitely a good sign, and it would be nice to have another that could help with the food stores if she did say. Finally, however, before she left, she tilted her head towards an unusual bush that sat on the opposing side of the camp from where the large boulder covered the obvious entrance. <b>"It's big enough for ye, trust me, the pups widened it a lot when they were in and out so much. A tunnel that leads down and under the wall and comes up within some bushes and under a large tree. Easier for you to get in and out one at a time if the boulder's there, not as easily visible for others to get in."</b> She would offer, wanting them to know that so that they didn't have to feel trapped. Such was not the nature of The Aegis.

Then, she would move out of the camp, placing the boulder back where it went, and return to her guarding of the area, allowing the two some rest. Sif distantly hoped that they would stay, after all, it would be nice to have a good semblance of a pack again.

Ty curled his ears back, his eyes drifting open and shut. He could hear the other female, Sif, leaving and felt a bit saddened that the other company had departed. It was probably best, after all for some reason he just felt like the whole of the world was pushing down on him. He couldn't have gotten back up if he tried, the latent heat from the fire mixed with the chilled air was a pleasant combination to him. He wasn't to terribly hungry but Qara mentioning food did make his stomach perk up, issuing a few grunts and grumbled. He stirred slightly, just shifting into a more comfortable position, "Well Qara, if you would like to go hunt I am not keeping you... but I think I need some sleep, that trip tired me out a bit more than I expected it to."

He laid his head back down, his eyes closing again and this time - staying shut. Dreams crept up onto him, and he fell asleep.

To Sif, she simply nodded, since she had no energy for anything else, and closed her eyes. She let out a great big yawn, and lie there, resting. She wasn't sure if she could sleep in the cold, but after some time, the fire warmed her considerably, and off she went to sleep.
