Mallaidh is more than thankful Reed will pass the message on. She has no way of knowing if @Eirlys or @Ceallach had given word to the woman but this way, she feels a little better. This is Hemlock’s child, and they are both still here. Reed seems a little busy at the moment but she hopes for the best and offers a smile when she confirms she’ll send word to her.
 
When she thinks it is time to part, that she needs to get back anyway, Reed asks about Arturo. Pain visibly crosses her face like a wave, there one moment and gone. Pinpricks behind her eyes and flattening of her ears give her pause and she shrugs, sort of.
