the heart of me

Kaname gazed curiously at Ira. "An aspiring assassin I see?" It is probably the only thing they had in common. "It would be easy to do either. Majesty's pack lives on an island. Once you cross the waters and climb onto their shore, your scent would be almost eliminated. You would smell just like them." He thought about crossing onto that island for a long time. Salt water masked scents perfectly, much better than streams did.

"I doubt they would have told you, but you could have scented a patrol on your way to this...Tortuga?" He hadn't heard of the place before, but it indeed sounded far. Especially if it had taken Ira this long to get back.
