Amdir shook her head slowly, smiling. Interesting people here. Or were they people at all? She sighed. She really needed to ask waht sort of sentient creatures were here... before she came, all she knew were Humans, Lizards (Small Dragons, Shenol was one of them), and Dragons.
She winced once again as her she bumped her arm. Once she got out of here, she was definately going to have a look at it.

Kisa glanced around the hole... she could have sworn she had heard voices. She found what she was looking for, a small live tree that was thick enough to support her weight.
She went to the horses, speaking soothing words in her tongue. She went to one of the horses she had chosen as pack horses and took a rope at the top of the pack. Tying a secure knot around the tree, she said, "Stay here, or join the others." She was not speaking of the other horses, somehow they understood that. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
Then she grabbed onto the rope and slowly slid down.

Shenol quickly found Amdir. She was now with two others, one of which he recognised as Rita.
Be careful. There are rats about, and I have sensed something more than that. He said to Amdir. With your arm I cannot afford for you to get any more hurt--you are almost defenseless.
His currently green eyes shone in the dark, and other than Amdir, who had sensed his coming, they did not know he was coming back.
