Hushed Willows There are thieves in the temple tonight

Forward-dated; happens concurrent to this thread

While she had been sequestered within the willow grove, kept far from the central den where Arkham kept his devoted followers, Tavi grew restless when he was not at her side. There were short bouts of calm wherein they would sit together - but there was always work to be done, duties to perform, and he would inevitably leave her to her own devices. She thought of herself in the vaguest sense as a prisoner; though by the way he seemed to care for her - for them - such skepticism was unfounded. Tavi did her best to remain hidden where he had left her, but there were things she had to tend to regardless -- constant urination being one of those awful additions to being pregnant. She was mindful in her wandering, careful to move only so far before leaving her mark, and then she went through the process of covering it with soil or debris from the ground, very cat-like in her manners. Tavi tried to visit only a few spots to do these things, and would always do them quickly so as to avoid being away from her designated safe-tree for any extended period of time. 

Once she returned to her tree, she wondered if Arkham would be visiting soon or if his day was filled with difficulties. She thought of what he might bring to her — but all of her thoughts ceased when she caught the tone upon the wind. It was a familiar sound that once may have brought her heart to her throat, eager to leap from her chest and soar alongside. Hearing @Reek call for her was different now. The sound of his voice was too close; her fur stood on-end until the searching summons ebbed to silence and she, having raised her head to listen, murmured a small sad noise as she recoiled from it. Tavi sought the crook of her chosen tree and hastily cleared a patch for herself to wallow in, and then bundled herself in to as tight a ball as she could among the hanging willow branches. They blocked some of the sound, but mostly they hid her away — which for the time being was exactly what the ex-Alpha required.
