Tawny had heard the conversation escalate into the harsh exchange of words. The gunshots that followed startled her as well as Ash who bolted up, growling fiercely.

"Ash! No!" She snapped, putting firm hand on the wolf.

She then let out a long sigh of frustration. She knew Odum could be well, Odum, but he could have just ignored Lucas instead of insulting him. Lucas' response shocked her. The shy boy blowing up was something she thought she would never see. Why now of all times? Their current situation was probably doing something to them psychologically.

She looked towards the forest where Odum had gone. "What a child. We need to find him before he gets himself hurt."

He hardly deserved their concern right now, but as part of their group, he was still their responsibility, especially in a strange new land where none of them knew what was going on.

She turned to the horse, and then to Donny. "Let me try to calm it."
