Nim made sure she was okay before studying the remaining statue. Olgrin definitely wasn't dead, as none of the Guides could actually permanently kill each other, but he was done with for now. "We need to take this statue back home, so his army won't get to it. If it breaks, he can get out." Nim was only able to because he studied the loophole.

“Okay.” Dakota said before taking picking Uma up all the way. He then looked to Nim, “how are we going to move this?” He asked.

Nim shrugged. "Teleport it. It needs no special care aside from not letting it break. It'll survive a port." He got up to walk over to it, studying it. "The real question is where to put it at home, as there are other creatures there and we can't take risks."

“Do you have any special places in your library that can be locked up and safe and away from other creatures?” Dakota asked.

Nim blinked. "I didn't think of that. Only us Guides can even access it anyway. I can set up a room and we can set it down there. His armies we won't have to deal with for a while cause they probably can tell their leader is gone. That gives us time to breathe and eventually prepare."

Dakota nodded, “I’ve got Uma. You get the statue.. let’s just get to the library.” He said before disappearing. He didn’t even look at the statue.

Nim just touched a paw to the statue to teleport with it. Before he did, he had sent messages to the houses that all was well for now but that they should still prepare. Arriving at his library, the seemingly endless place of knowledge, he appeared in an available room where he planned to store the statue.

Dakota appeared by Uma’s grove and laid her down in her nest. She seemed to be doing okay now. She thanked him quietly before closing her eyes again. Dakota then teleported towards Nim.

Nim had just turned away from the statue when Dakota arrived. Whiskers twitching, he said "We can at least relax for now, after all this time. If even for a little while, cause the armies will either go dormant for now or completely disband."

“Okay.” Dakota said softly, “where would you want to relax?” He asked as he flew down to the ground by Nim, looking up at the Tiger with curiosity.

Nim's whiskers twitched. "We can head to the lake nearby, just lay around and be lazy. Or we can settle here. There's rooms." He sheepishly avoided suggesting the springs.

Dakota yawned and nodded a little, “I’m fine with whatever.” He said. He wasn’t looking to do anything. He just simply wanted to rest.

Nim walked them over to one of the rooms that wasn't filled with books and all. There were cushions and blankets everywhere, and it looked like a big den almost.

“What’s the place? I haven’t seen much of your library.” Dakota asked.

"It's basically where I sleep while here. Full of blankets, cushions, a few books I've fallen asleep with." Nim flattened his ears in embarrassment. When they arrived, he simply nudged the door open.

Dakota hopped after him, flapping his wings a little. He didn’t want to fly from object to object in fear or accidentally breaking something. He looked around curiously before looking back to Nim.

Nim settled down in a particular pile of blankets, a mess of cloths and furs. "I spend way too much time as a tiger," he said sheepishly. "There's not a single "human" bed in this library."

“That’s fine. This would be comfy even as a human.” Dakota said. He then found a spot by him and teasingly turned into a tiger, “but let’s see..” he said as he laid down, “this is nice.” He said.

Nim blinked once as Dakota changed. Nudging his shoulder with his nose, he said "You look pretty good as a tiger." Well, he looked good in any form. Laying on his side, he yawned widely.

Dakota let out a rumble like laugh, “you do too.” He said as he moved over to gently lick the other’s fur.

Nim smiled a little at the attention, reaching a paw to lightly bat at Dakota a few times. He seemed to be relaxing a bit more around him now.

Dakota let out a low purr before settling next to him to cuddle, gently nuzzling into him as the other batted him softly. He wouldn’t be this affectionate to anyone else that he hooked up with, well, aside from Uma, but that was a while ago since they had their fling.

Nim cuddled with Dakota contentedly, occasionally nuzzling him and even licking his cheek once. "It's so different to suddenly be so relaxed with you."

Dakota tilted his head, “I hope it’s a good type of different.” He said while studying the white tiger worriedly.

Nim flattened his ears in embarrassment. "Oh, it is in a good way! I just... I never thought we'd ever be even like this, let alone... you know..."

Dakota smiled in understanding, “I wasn’t sure we’d ever be like this either, but I’m glad it worked out.” He then growled a little, “and I’m glad I didn’t lose you to that beast I used to call a close friend..”

Nim purred softly before frowning a little. "Were you really that worried?" They were close friends of course, but Nim was a little surprised.

“I care for you and Uma. Very much so. I know I don’t show it that much...” He cared for Nim especially, but he didn’t know what the feeling was.

Nim nuzzled him a little. "Well, I guess I shouldn't have doubted. We are friends after all." Well, a small part of him wanted to be more.
