Lake Rodney the hero of our own story

Hydra did not stay behind to explain, what it was that she wished to tell Arcturus, and Wraen almost let her go, when it occurred to her that all would not be simple as that. While she could pass on the message, her friend might choose not act upon it. He had refused to go and talk with any of his family the last time they had spoken. So, if this was something very important rather than an intended brain-washing session, she felt responsible to find it out.

"Hydra, wait!" she rose to her feet and made some steps forward in a weak attempt to catch up with the swarthy leader. "Can you tell me, what it is - because I am not sure that Arcturus will act upon cryptic invitation without any explanation," she said. "He refused to reach out to you, when I asked last."
