Blackwater Islands Embrace

Follow up to Morgra's return!

He led his sister to The Whispering Copse where the Speakers resided. Uncertain which den had been chosen by @Pelagius, he led @Morgra to his own at the center, where the boy was kept. The Hierophant.

He called for his brother.

There's no time to be wasted, Ptolemy told Morgra in hushed tones. What we need is alliances. Sapphique to the east owed our mother a debt. But Akashingo was owed when she died. I plan to find them to pay our debt and establish a new connection.

He glanced past her, searching for their brother.

Pelagius had chosen to den near his Mother’s den, where he had once watched the worms squirm in the dirt. He had taken his antlered skull and returned it to its place on his shoulders, though he meant to return it to its rightful home upon the heads of their newest. To return those they had lost to their rightful places.

Pelagius came slinking, his eyes alighting upon their much wayward sister. He smiled a great smile to see her.

Morgra, sister! He swept a paw out in a great gesture.

How good to see you.

They needed alliances and Morgra wanted to help in any way possible. She felt guilty for not being here sooner. Her brothers had been shouldered with all the work following their mother's death. But now she could change that and take some of the weight. There was much to be done. 

Ptolemy called for their brother who didn't keep them waiting very long. Morgra embraced him, It's good to see you too, Pelagius. 

Returning to Ptolemy's words, she added a moment later: I can go to Sapphique and discuss an alliance with them. If they were resistant, then she would bring up the debt owed to them.

Ptolemy favored his brother with a brilliant smile by way of greeting, but his attention quickly turned back to the task at hand. Alliances. He nodded as Morgra spoke. Good, And here his gaze drifted to Pelagius.

Pel - you can stay here if you like, but your diplomacy skills would be invaluable in this. We need new connections, They were equals, the three of them, and so Ptolemy would not try to give orders. But surely Pelagius would see that they needed him in this. The Druids lived in isolation, but they did not operate as such. To exist without alliances was antithetical to their purpose.
