Blackfeather Woods nothing to come to

Cicero remained guarded in case she would dive for the meat, but he estimated her higher than that. He waited until she surfaced from the den and after a short glance at the meat he knew she understood that it was not for her. She was eager to get right into her lesson and Cicero smiled at her eagerness. She was a good student, even if he had needed to look her up himself; but at least that had given him some time to prepare. Perhaps at some point she would be secure enough so that she would awake him to show him what she had discovered now.

With a thin smile on his face Cicero explained, "Kendra will find a test subject for to try this meat on. There is a poison inside. Then, by the reaction of the test subject, Kendra can guess if she knows which poison it is." And if not, of course he would explain. "It is best to put it somewhere and observe from a small distance." Cicero picked up the piece of meat and got to his feet, then awaited Kendra to lead the way, for it was her choice which venue they would pick for their scheme. He would follow wherever.
