Team - Tenel Ka, Sarah & Allana, rescuing Jacen
Sarah's smile lingered just a little longer, part amusement and part reassurance. "Someone needs to add 'make a new family tradition' to the top of the list when we get home," she murmured ruefully, "right beneath 'subdermal GPS tracking'," then passed the shirt in her hands to Allana. The others would fight going in, but Sarah had a different goal this time.
There were many things that Wolfram and Hart had prepared for, and with the magic protections pierced, Jacen would certainly be easier to find. But there was one that Sarah was certain they wouldn't have thought to eliminate in the building, and that was why black hair and clothing morphed to black fur as a panther replaced Sarah. Canines and canine-like creatures weren't the only creatures with a good sense of smell, and Sarah, when in this form, had both animal sense and magic on her side, closer to the core of her power like this than when fully human.
Like this in the past, she'd been able to see invisible men and Dementors and all manner of things. Like this right now, after pressing a whiskered muzzle to the shirt that had been handed to Allana and then sniffing the air, Jacen Solo's presence in the building was a trail from this front door right toward the stairs. Even if the scent wasn't fresh, even if he'd been moved around upstairs, he had still definitely been taken up them.
The panther brushed against the younger Jedi, long enough for the information to be passed from animal-human mind to Jedi-human mind, and then she streaked around the fight, toward the stairs and up them.
