When Tempesta went next to Delano, her presence calmed him down. She left quickly, in order to help Mheetu. Delano remained alone in the den, thinking. Now, his harsh breathing had slowed to a more regular pace, and his mind cleared. He knew what he had to do.
Delano got shakily to his feet. He wiped his tears away and left the den. Delano went over to where he had dropped Mheetu off. The lion was still there, along with Vitani. A crack of thunder made Delano look up, impending of a storm coming. Mheetu would have to be taken inside quickly before the weather gets bad. Delano walked over to Mheetu and Vitani and gently got Mheetu on his back with Vitani's help. The three of them proceeded to the gathering den, where Delano placed Mheetu gently on the ground, and left again, leaving Vitani and Mheetu behind.
Now, Delano searched for Tempesta. While she was a much better tracker than him, he found her scent easily enough and followed it until he found her. She looked up when she heard him approaching her. He just smiled at her. He didn't need to use words. She understood. Together, the two of them gathered more of the flowers, and when they had enough, went back to the gathering den to Mheetu and Vitani.
