Bronon suddenly realises that night is rapidly closing in. "That's amazing!" he exclaims. "However, there are many in my country, especially amongst us younger generation, who believe as I do, that Tash does not exist. Now, I know better, I hope I never meet him!" The boy gives a shudder. Quickly changing the subject, he observes, "It's getting dark quickly, we need to find somewhere to sleep. I shall look for a hollow tree or something similar. What about yourself? Are the trees suitable for you?" He asks these questions sincerely, clearly concerned for Wideglide's needs as well as his own.
Many miles away, Sergeant Zimcar and the loyal Narnians with him have established a camp and are preparing to settle down for the night.
Even further away, Sareg is hurrying back to his camp. (O.O.C: I assume wolves can see in the dark?)
Meanwhile, even further south, the hunting party is getting near to their camp. Suddenly a dark shape, leaps out in front of them, blocking the path. It is Parcash, another senior wolf. "Go no further, if you value your lives!" he orders. "Whilst you have been away we've been busy too! Upon the orders of Lord Zamron and Captain Ashraf we have laid and hidden many lethal traps and snares leading from here into our camp. Follow me, treading where I tread, and you will pass without injury or worse!" Soon the hunting party cross safely into the camp at Beaversdam.

OOC-- They can't literally see with NO light, but their other senses are very, very keen, so they can move smoothly at night.
Wideglide replies, "I can perch almost anyplace -- once I get a bite to eat." She flies out of sight, until her voice drifts back, exclaiming, "You down there, the squirrel! If you're a talking beast, say so at once! Hello? Do you understand me?" Six more minutes pass before the falcon reappears. What she brings back to eat is not a squirrel, but a gopher. She explains:
"The squirrel _was_ a talking beast, so I told her about the enemy movements; she will advise other woodland beings. Then I went on and caught this gopher which _wasn't_ a talking beast. It's rough being a sapient carnivore in Narnia!"
