Standing watch with Goranask was an old, familiar dance by now. Despite the fact that they were in a new place, Giana and Goranask knew all the steps to keep their place safe. They were a formidable team and no one snuck up on Goranask.
As it was, it was late at night and the wherpair was getting ready to finish their watch. Gi doubted that anything would happen at this point, and she was starting to think about dinner ... well, breakfast for most of the Weyr ... although she did not let herself get distracted from the task at hand.
Therefore when she heard the crunch of boots on the path, her attention was immediately drawn. "Who goes there?" she asked, mentally assured that Goranask was ready for anything.
