Larksong Grotto Pure On The Outside

hiram had gone looking for his children, and vuk silently wished him well. her outburst at their last meet had not shamed her, however -- perhaps the presence of those he had sired here at the grotto would clear his mind of the illogical teachings he followed. quietly she padded through the land, her mind awash with racing thoughts.

it had occurred to her to take terich and seff and depart, but hiram held her here. seff loved the man, and he had barely lived as it was. no -- vuk would not tear him from the only home he had ever known. she would stay and serve the grotto, but never raas.

a lovely woman came into view and vuk slowed, hoping she would not be noticed -- she had very little to say, and less to a wolf she did not know.
