Danny turns around and stares at Kaleb. "Rat?"
A rat colony in Berlin? Oh dear... Well maybe it's just the one.
"Bear? You mean a Gurahl..." Danny gave up trying to make sense of Kaleb's incessant blabbing and shook his head. "Just take me to Vasara, where is he?"

Kaleb stops and looks at Danny. "I'm not a messanger or a kid you know." He glares at him. "I told you he's in the park, he's meeting with them. Weren't you listening?" He sighs and looks around in the nearest garbage recepticle and takes out something breaded in nature. "Want some?" He offers to Danny.

"No, you're not," Danny smiled, but stopped acting urgent. "And good thing too, because you make a very bad one." "Look, I'll buy you lunch, after we've met with Vasara. Let's go to the park, and you can fill me in on those other Fera on the way. Micah will watch the place while we're gone." Here

-(New day...much later)-
Micah ran in lupus form, dodging those of the weaver's ilk as he made his way to the Caern. Fairly good chance someone of the pack would be there. Find out what was up, all that stuff. Course, what with Eric gone....grrr, not now. Get over it later, need to find his place in pack again. Find his sire.
Find that Kaleb pup...he always was a good one at finding a good dinner cheap in town. Meh...food again. Maybe his human side was going through another growth phase? Who knows...
He slowed as he got close to the Caern's building, sniffing and otherwise scouting. Never wise to just run into that place. Changes could have happened, or worse. Carefully, he stalked about to the back of the building, keeping ear's open, nose going, and eye's peeled.
(Heightened senses to check for baddies or his pack pls ^_^)

Danny stepped into the Umbra and waited for Yvonne. He pushed his hair out of his good eye and took a look around the area, still wary after the recent attacks.
The Umbral side of the Caern looked much the same as the material one. The building was old enough to have its own Umbral representation, although, oddly enough, there were no pattern spiders around the Library anymore. There were many more other creatures however, apparently many spirits had a liking for the place.
Once Yvonne had made it through, Danny said: "It's always different in the city. You don't get the same feeling you get out in the open Caerns. But it's good that these places still exist, even in places like this."

Yvonne looks around, with some small amount of wonderment, at the spirit world. After a while, she remembers Danny is there. "Is it? Well I've only been to one before, and I've never been to one deep in the country. I suppose I'd like to see one someday, they must be very different."

"If you're lucky someday you will see the Swabian Caerns," he said. "They are out in the Alb, untouched and undisturbed by the cities and the war... and this separation. I would very much like to see them again myself." He said that longingly, as if the urge to wander was once again tugging at his soul, urging him to leave this dreadful city. "Come, let's go outside and take a look around."
He stepped out of the Library and into the Umbral afternoon sunlight. "I suppose the Caern in Dresden is not much different that this? I have not been there in a while..."

"Not really, it isn't set around a library and it isn't quite so close to the front lines. If there is such a thing." She follows him outside and looks around, the sight of the umbral library being little compared to the sight the entire city makes a much bigger distraction for her. "Well I shall go out into the country some day, I've always been in cities. Maybe I'll visit the Alb when I do, it sounds lovely."

The silence is suddenly shattered by a howl in the distance, a series of frightened yips and barks, and another howl. It is, for anyone who understands, a howl of succour. It's a cry for help.

Danny froze. "I don't know that voice," he said anxiously. "It could be a trap..."
The howls stopped. They weren't too far away. "On the other hand it could be one of ours that's hurt..." He didn't know all of their howls yet, if it was Simeon or Edward, he wouldn't be able to recognise it.

Yvonne looks towards the howl, and thinks for a moment. "I can go check it out, then I'll call for you if it's trouble. They might be trying to lure us away." She turns and slowly shifts to lupus, eager for a chance to prove herself. "I'll be careful."

Danny looks torn between the two decisions for a while. He knew leaving the Caern was a bad idea, especially after such a recent attack. But at least two of the Kin were there, and he couldn't let Yvonne go alone. And if the pack was hurt...
"No, I'll go with you," he said finally. "I will just have to leave the Caern in the hands of Aleksi." Even as he said it he knew it was a foolish decision. "Let's go," he shifted to his Lupus form too, a black jackal with bright yellow eyes. "We'll be quick."

In her Lupus form, one thing becomes rapidly apparent. Her hair is dyed. Her fur is pure black, except for the top and back of her head which is as blonde as her human hair. Seeing Danny begin the change to the wolf, she breaks into a sprint. It turns out she's a very fast runner, leaving quite a gap before Danny finishes shifting.

Danny finished shifting and broke into a run, finding it hard to keep up with the Ahroun, especially with his wounds weighing him down. She managed to reach the wall first, weaving through the streets of Berlin in the direction of the howls. When she slowed down, she realised how far she'd run. The Caern was no longer in view, and she didn't recognise this part of the city at all.
Although the pattern spiders were quite abundant in the city, the seemed to be avoiding this particular stretch of the wall for some reason.
Danny was close behind, and the howls started up again, become more urgent, and disturbingly close. Yvonne could tell they were somewhere on the other side.
A little further along the wall she can see where it had collapsed. Although she didn't know it herself, it was the place where Micah had narrowly escaped death only a day before.

Yvonne hesitates a moment, remembering warnings about the other side of the city... but not long enough to slow her pace as she easily twists her path to head towards the gap in the wall. As she runs, she tries to pay attention to the scents around her, looking for garou or, worse, wyrm taint.
((kicking in sense wyrm))
