She'd been here for some time now. Ever since Shaye had snapped at her. To be honest it hurt to leave her children there but she could do nothing against shaye. Rhyme had failed her. He had promised to protect her, and he had failed to protect her from his own cousin. It was a long time coming though, she knew it. Shaye had hated her the moment she had conceived with Rhyme, it was better this way. Shaye could have Rhyme and Tana would go back to being a little scared of the world woman. A sigh was given for probably the umpteenth time that day. She was a coward but at least she knew when she should run.
She was in the den that she had been forced once by elias to fill in, remembering its location easily. She had dug it out once more and started her collection of herbs inside it. She was inside with Alma sorting it out for the tenth time that day. She missed having things to do but it was harder for her to stay when she was obviously not wanted. Basil was outside and his alarm call was enough to alert her that they had company. Her ears pressed and she sat there waiting. The will to stay free and live had basically been sapped from her. The voice had her incline her head towards it and a recognition of who he was, was there on her face. "Come in Acere..."
her voice was downtrodden and defeated.

Tana is a flighty individual, with absolutely no will to fight. She might get scared and run mid-thread, I apologize in advance for this. Its nothing against your characters, she has just had a tough past and has a hard time trusting anyone.
