Phoenix Maplewood storm surge

Kaskara murmured words of love to the children around them, and invited them away from the leaders and their talk. Today she was an aunt, first and foremost, and the leader in her had already resigned to the fact that perhaps her life was more important to her family as she was, rather than what she might be. Kas didn't want to dwell on any of this just now, and instead tried to coax her niece and nephews from Scimitar, to settle with her by Tryphon.

She turned her bi-colored eyes toward the boy and wondered at his motivation. He had left them, and just as abruptly returned to them in their hour of need. What did he seek to gain from this? Whatever it might be, Kas was too exhausted to ponder it much longer. So she offered him a grim smile, and invited him closer, as well. They would pair to corral the children, and seek to give Scimitar and his wife a bit of rest. Her gaze swung back to Saena and Reek at that moment, and she gave them each a nod of thanks, and a promise to herself to speak with them before they departed.
