It was quiet for some time. Jason had moved down the hall but within eye and earshot of the door to call Nathaniel and fill him in, and before he knew it he could feel Jean Claude's call. He'd scurried off to Jean Claude's room and before long he was trailing just behind his master like an eager puppy.

Jean Claude gestured to the sock as he waited for Jason to open the door. "Was that truly necessary, my wolf?"

Jason quickly pulled the sock free of the door and opened pushed it open. "I didn't want anyone to barge in...you'll see what I mean. Hold on a sec."

He slipped into the room, stopping just before the chair. He didn't want to startle her like in the woods. "Khemrys? Khemrys? Hey, it's Jason: I'm back with Jean Claude."
