Sunbeam Lair a toast to new beginnings

bhediya wondered if eligius was a bit dimmer than once thought. of all the places he could have hidden, he chose to cower behind her...this would have been fine, were she not the size of a child. it didn't matter, though; the woman who'd wandered into their lair seemed friendly enough. 

you ca- what? the seraph didn't understand the problem. either a wolf could hear, or they couldn't; she hadn't considered partial deafness to be a possibility. still, for hospitality's sake, she called a bit louder, where did you last see your friend? 

her voice was enough to startle a few bats. they swooped down and across the cave's ceiling, the sudden movement causing bhediya to break into nervous laughter.
