Tamora eventually stopped staring at the lake where the creature had been. The lizardmen seemed relaxed enough now but she knew it would take her longer to get over her first real experience of the chaos of combat. The animals she had hunted and defended against at home were so predictable compared to this monstrosity – she shivered. She merely nodded at Lorath’s words and looked at the ground. When Gan spoke she looked at him closely for the first time and winced at the sight of his wounds. She watched the injured warrior offer to help Evon to the fire and shook her head in something close to amazement. She hoped Bas would be able to help him as he had Jonas – she certainly knew she couldn’t do anything for him.
In her current frame of mind then it was with relief that she heard Anne ask for someone to accompany her around the lake. Tamora turned to the human woman. “If no one minds I’ll go with you”, she said. The young elf slung her bow and picked up her spear. Noticing the uncomfortable way the woman was holding her liberated weapon Tamora smiled for the first time. “If we are attacked”, she said, “the pointed end goes towards the enemy. But I think I’d rather test how long those tentacles are before fighting that thing again”.
