As they stared down at Tamisha's dead companion, Kenya called for the others to join them. They came in silence, realizing what had happened.  After the long pause, Shaintea broke the silence. "well," she started. "I guess that's it then." She didn't sound like it. Her voice was sullen and lost. Tamisha didn't care. "That's it? That's it!" She shrieked. "How could you say that! He's been with me for over five hundred years-" Her voice came to an abrupt halt, as Tamisha realized what she had said. The others looked at her in confusion, And sudden understanding dawned in Teya's eyes. "You're a nature spirit." she said softly. Suprise was the first emotion to surface, followed by hate and then caution. It spread across the group faster than wildfire.

      "Yeah" replied Tamisha. "Yeah." And then she didn't care. Tamisha knelt beside her fallen tiger and began to cry. Softly at first, then regular spasms spread through her body. "Rojave." she whispered, a sad smile crossing her face. No one understood. "What?" asked Kent. And she snapped. "I said 'Rojave'!!!" she screamed. "That's his name, alright?! Or was. I don't know! I don't even care anymore! It doesn't matter. All  that matters is that he's gone, okay?!!"

      "Look, let me help, please?" offered Kenya. "No!" cried Tamisha, slapping her hand away. "No." But Kenya was adamant about it. I can help, She thought. I will help. "Tamisha, let me through. I can do it." Again Tamisha was outraged. "No! You can't help, Bridge can't help, I can't help! I've tried this before. Even Kerrigan can't help!" As she said it, Kerrigan shook her head, almost in emphasis. "I've been in this situation before. Trust me. I've tried." sobbed Tamisha, desperate.

       Kenya flared. "No, trust ME. I've been here before as well. I CAN help." And with that, she barged past the steaming nature spirit, and placed her own Talon necklace charm around the big cat's paw. He healed instantly, and the Red & Black tiger who hadn't had a pulse for two minutes, was on his feet in two seconds.
