The trio of would-be rescuers exchanges glances as Sanders announced himself from inside the cave. Even Michah, in full lynx form, tilted his head backwards to observe his siblings. Golden feline eyes seemed to shimmer with a vague question of disbelief.
Teagan spoke first, spreading her arms out and shrugging her shoulders. “That was easy,” she announced playfully. She was grinning as if their work was practically finished. Sairus only grunted in response, knowing full well that a sleep- and food-deprived and possibly injured human soldier was high on the list of things that were not ‘easy.’
Their journey was far from over. They still had to make it to the bottom of the mountain, and find a covert covenant work site to deposit Sanders. Sai could feel the pressure changes, and the temperature drop of a blizzard. He knew Teagan could feel it too, and her sunshiney exterior was pure hopeful optimism. While Sai was busy calculating and ruminating, the tall woman had moved closer to the mouth of the cave. She cupped her hands over her mouth and shouted back inside.
“Name’s Teagan Weatherfare!” She shouted into the darkness as if she were introducing herself at a party and not announcing her presence to an armed plane crash survivor. They’d all heard the tell-tale sounds of a gun being cocked from within.
“We’re not going to hurt you,” she continued, as Sairus rolled his eyes behind her. She wasn’t exactly wrong, but he was loathe to watch her own training go to waste. “My brothers and I were sent to rescue you Captain Strafford. We’re going to come inside. Don’t shoot us okay?”
She dropped her hands away from her face and looked over her shoulder at Sai and Micah, giving them both an enthusiastic thumbs up.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
