Redhawk Caldera you are blood and earth, not theory and chalk

Finley and Elwood provide more details. Étoille tries to recall if he's met any from Blackfeather, but he has not to his knowledge. The strange trickster he'd met once talked about a dark brotherhood but he does not think that was the same as this. He is not surprised by the talk of war, although he looks to Heda, curious what she will ask of him. Drageda is a clan of warriors, he knows - he himself does not have much ... practical fighting experience, although he is confident he could handle himself in a fight. (He is wrong).

Heda agrees to join forces. It seems a tricky needle to thread - and he is unsure he will be able to do much after three more journeys back and forth. The Rauna wonders if there is something else he could do, although he hesitates at the idea of allowing Heda to travel back to Drageda unaccompanied. Or accompanied by Eljay, he supposes, but the scrawny boy does not look like he'd offer much in the way of protection. Still he bites his tongue for now, waiting to see a plan take shape.
