Lost Creek Hollow a quest of least concern

skipping ishi, then the normal order will resume. (:

Mordecai approached and Ilya dipped her head to him respectfully. Her blue gaze wavered as she was suddenly hit with a realization. If Luke could turn against her so quickly, so could he. Her body tensed and she swallowed, her mouth becoming dry as paranoia set in against her. 

"This is Ayishik. He claims to be a wonderful scout and is great with direction, he wishes to join our ranks," she explained the situation accordingly, and lowly for only Mordecai's hearing, she spoke again. "He is respectful and eager, I personally feel he would be an asset," she glanced sidelong to the white fluff ball. "We could use some extra paws," she muttered to him, and stepped back a few feet from him; a decent distance in case she needed to flee from his lustful paws. Perhaps this fear was not so evident on her face, but she was sleeping with one ye open from not. Mordecai was not excluded from this, regardless of how much she looked up to him.
