"Please, explain that to me. There's always something to go home for." he said.

Eavan turned to look at him. "Do you have family? Someone who loves you?" She searched his eyes not waiting for an answer. "I have duty, responsibility. My whole life has been mapped out since before I was born. Even my birth was planned. All I want..." She stopped and looked away from him, unable to meet his gaze.

"What do you want Eavan? I want to know. Maybe I can help." he said. He desperately wanted to get to know this woman better, and if there was any way he could help her he needed to find out.

Eavan continued to gaze at the ground. She couldn’t bring herself to look into his eyes. “There is nothing you can do for me Caleb. My destiny is preordained, planned down to who I shall produce a child with even. I am but a pawn in someone else’s game.” She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She moved her hand to brush it aside but more followed. “I dream of …” she faltered as she tried to express the words within her. “I want to find someone who loves me unconditionally not because he was directed to. I want to feel the love in my heart for someone. I want a family. Someone to care for me truly. I want to have children because my love and I want them, not because I have been coupled with someone because of our traits that someone seeks to breed into a new life like we were nothing more than cattle.” She felt herself waver as she stood before him. She moved past him quickly going out the back door and sitting on the bottom of the steps under the full moon. She leaned her head onto her bent knees as she fought to regain her composure. She couldn’t believe that she had just told him all of that but something about him calmed her, relaxed her around him. His spirit was gentle but fiercely honorable and loyal.

"You asked me if I had someone that loves me. The answer is yes and no. I have no family save for Mica and my love is dead and gone, so I live for my friends, Mica, and of couse Tzuna." he said. He went over and wrapped his arm around Eavan, "It'll be ok. I'm here now. You can join our cause and together we will make your dreams reality." he said.

Eavan looked into his eyes as his arm lay around her. "You are a strange man Caleb." she told him. Her smile played softly on her lips. "I almost believe you when I look in to your eyes, but before I agree, I would need to know more about your cause."

"My cause is the survival of the world as we know it. No complete ruler over everyone and everything people free to make their own choice." he said. He wanted desperately for her to believe him.

"Caleb I do believe you. I can see you are an honorable and just man but no everything in any war is black and white." She looked at him, smiling softly. "But I will explore the possibilities with you. Does that sound fair?"

"I know that nothing is completely black and white, but in the shades of grade is when you true character is revealed." he said.

Eavan looked at him, measuring him. He fascinated her. "Yes you are right." she told him. "One's true character is hard to discern based on face value. Words are easily spoken but actions will not lie." She smiled softly.

Doug rose a little while later to smell something delicious. Someone somewhere had been cooking and it made his mouth water. It seemed as if they were done eating now, due to the weakness of the smell, but it was still there. He went inside to Mica still sound asleep, "Mica....Mica...wake up. Do you smell that? Who else could be out here?"

Mica stirred slowly. She looked out and saw it was still dark. “What is it Doug?” she asked as she processed what he told her. She rose and walked outside, sniffing at the air. “Steak, rare.” She told him as she looked at him. “C’mon. Let’s follow the scent.”

Doug was excited now, mainly because this could lead to a clue about Caleb, but also because it meant he might be able to eat a delicious meal for the first time in a long time. His mouth watered slightly at the thought of it. They proceeded to walk through the woods following the scent.

Mica stopped suddenly, her hand rose to her wounded side. She took a deep breath and looked closer at Doug. "You know I can feel your feelings and emotions right?" She raised an eyebrow as she stared at him. "I can also feel your desire for... a delicious meal?" She shook her head laughing softly. "Let your stomach guide us friend."

"Now that I can do." Doug growled as he let his cougar side get the best of him. He stuck his nose in the air as he picked up the faint sent. He turned to the right through a path, "This way."
