"Dean... you and Avery have to take her." Seth said quietly, almost sadly. He wanted to be there to make sure Heidi would be alright, but he knew that this tiger would follow them if he brought her to his house. The only way was to station her at Dean's place atleast until she woke up, since they lived out in the woods. (They do live in the woods, right? XD) "I can bring the cot over and install it there. Atleast until she'd better." he said, eyes begging for Dean to accept.
Stelia sighed, sympathetic for Seth and the girl. Even Dean, who seemed quiet and solemn, unusually. She'd observed these people for so long she'd gotten to know them without actually meeting them, until now. She felt like they'd all known eachother forever. "Does she have a house?" she asked Dean, since he seemed to know more.
Siri jumped a little when the tiger came up behind her. She felt Seth tense up a little beside her as well. Siri didn't know whether to pet it, move it over or shoo it away. But she didn't want to force it to do anything, so she just gently touched its nose with the tip of her fingers, light as a feather, to acknowledge that he was there. She'd learned that some animals do this, but only the really intelligent ones like dragons. Not bunnies or dogs even.

Traviis nodded in agreement, eagerly standing up as well. "Tomorrow." he said staring at Avery, plans speeding through his mind. "We have to hunt it. Tomorrow, in the daylight." he said confidently, getting agitated. "Go to its hole and find it's body, slay it and rip off its head! We'll rip out its organs and splay them all-"
"That won't work." Raven said, hopping off of Dagger.
"When...Wha...How could you hear us?" Traviis asked, confused as she just suddenly appeared. "And what do you mean it won't work?!" he said scrunching his nose in anger.
"Dagger can hear anything. He told me your whole conversation." she said coolly, and relaxed. Minimum emotion. "And it won't work. The Beast is extremely deadly and agile. You don't even know how to kill it. What happens if you get there and you're the one getting slayed?" she challenged, knowing a lot more than anyone anticipated.
"What do you know about it?" Traviis asked suspiciously. Usually he was calm, but the recent loss of Faye was fueling him to be angry.
"For a chief's son, you're a little agitated." Raven said smugly almost.
"You don't know what I've been though." Traviis said narrowing his eyes with a hiss.
Raven turned to Avery, seeming like he'd take this in a little easier while Traviis calmed down. "It killed my only dairy cow." Raven said, obvious distaste and frustration in her voice. "The Beast only comes out at night. Otherwise, it stays in it's holes. Yes, holes. Not one. Many." she said grimly to the boys. "Dagger is the only reason I'm alive. It's scared of dragons, but somehow faster than them." she said, glancing back to her companion to make quick eye contact. "Using brute force to 'slay it' won't work. It's suicide."
