NRPG: This is after Tair'n finds out that all of the thefts happen at night.

Nrocinu moved forward ever so quietly. Glancing back he smiled at
Fae'Rhee. The small white or black animals were once again in the area of
wooden sticks.
He liked the meat that came from these beasts but did not care that much
for the skins that came from them. the skins were far too itchy and hard to
get that spongy fur off the skin itself.
As the two climbed into the pen with the animals Nrocinu stopped suddenly
as the wind changed. Fae'Rhee froze at almost the same instant. Both of
them lifted their heads slightly and sniffed at the air. They both knew
there was something different this night. There was something else out there.
Both of them scanned the area as best they could until their eyes locked
on two forms bigger than themselves. Nrocinu scampered back over the wooden
fence and crouched behind it, but it was too late, they had been spotted.
The two forms climbed the low fence and moved forward. Nrocinu was
beginning to get scared as the dark shapes approached when something he
least expected happened.
Fae'Rhee sent him a message mentally that could best be translated as awe
and wonderment. Nrocinu turned and saw two large winged beast in the
clearing not far away.
"oeigsgfsa stay fwaijnfw not giwgseg fr hurt sgpsg" one of the forms
approaching from his rear said. But Nrocinu only understood a couple of
words, it had been so long since he had actually heard words spoken.
Nrocinu began to feel his heart beat faster and faster as he drew his
dagger. He looked to Fae'Rhee but she was completely enthralled in the
large winged beast and had forgotten everything else around her.
The two forms got close enough to see and Nrocinu's mouth dropped open.
They were like Fae'Rhee and him......but different and smelled funny.
Nrocinu still looked around quickly wanting to run but Fae'Rhee was still
awe struck by the beast in the clearing.
One of the forms moved a little closer very slowly. They stretched out
their empty hands and spoke in a soft voice, but Nrocinu didn't understand
a word of what they said.
Nrocinu stretched out his empty hand just like the figure in front of him.
then he stretched out his other hand but it held the dagger. Listening to
the voice he began to calm down, but his eyes were still darting about
looking for a good avenue of escape. Every direction was blocked by one
thing or another. There was nothing for him to do but wait ........and see
what would happen next.

NRPG: Ok now you found us......what are you going to do with us. If you
keep up the calming talk he will eventually put away his dagger but will
remain very skittish.
