The travel south had many perils for the team, but Watcher was not concerned. Such troubles where normally only problems for mortals. But when the ley line storm struck he realized that there where problems he did care about.

His ears laid flat on his head, then being forced to find shelter like a mortal was humiliating and had he not been such a humble sphinx, far more humble than his brothers and sisters, he would have killed the party so no memory of this shame could carry on.

Wanting the answer, more than to preserve his pride he found he just had to ask. "Who has experienced these storms? How long have you endured them before?" His words trying to sound as simple curiosity, an observant person could perceive his dislike for the ley line storms.

"Ley line storms are common, my people hate ley lines. Massive headaches, overwhelming static. Storms are even worse. But it's where the best hunting is. So, we endure it. Got caught for six day once in the ruins of an old city in Kansas. One of my pack went crazy and we had to put him down."

Finding the words hardly to any comfort, Watcher only nods while he thinks of the situation. "Was it often you had to put down members of your tribe?" Seemed the kind of thing most people would not want to admit. But the psi-stalker was not inclined to hide his nature any more than Watcher himself.

There was barely a sound as Vela joined the two, having overhead enough of the conversation to be interested. She didn't announce herself or ask permission...simply finding a spot to sit between them. If her presence was unwelcome, she assumed, they would let her know and she'd move on.

The ley line storm affected her as well, of course...through their supernatural powers, but also their supernatural nature. The air felt oily and unnatural, and worse still that feeling of oddity seemed to slide into her and through her, contaminating her in the process. It no longer frightened her as it once had...the endless green fingers of the old Yucatan were teeming with magic energy and the storms weren't excessively rare...but it was still unpleasant.

Without adding any words to the sphinx's question, Vela fixed her eyes on the psi-stalker...her curiosity pursued by a sort of dark, malicious amusement. The mighty psi-stalkers brought so low by bad weather...

Vikon hunkered down with the others in the ley line storm. “New Alamo where I grew up isn’t near a ley line, so we don’t get these,” he admitted. “I have only been in one once. It doesn’t seem to effect me much, other than the obvious twisting of magic and reality, but the elements don’t like it, either.” He didn’t get the headaches, but sometimes his magic would go awry.

Finally Vela did speak up, when the psi stalker did not.

"My people had shamans who would smell the storms coming before they came," she said, reaching down to lazily drag a fingertip to and fro along the ground. "When a storm came, we would go the caves where a river fell, and wait for them to pass."

"Sometimes younger ones would challenge each other to see who dared to go farther from the caves during the storm." She smiled at that. "It is a stupid thing to do. Storm lightning hurts like silver, and it is not random like other lightning."

Vikon smiled at Vela. “So how many times did you dare go out in the storm, then?” he asked with a knowing chuckle. After all, he was still young and stupid,
