Moonspear who can blame him

Alya listened intently to her father's story, at once understanding that this Dhole woman had acted inexcusably. She wondered what had happened to her to make her think abandoning Moonspear and uncle Floki was the thing to do, but she figured her father had not specified for a reason and allowed the topic to rest.

The story came quickly after that, and soon enough, ended on a note that left Alya feeling a bit incredulous. That's it? she wanted to ask, but of course, did not. While she was a bit exasperated that there was no better story behind her father's vendetta, she also understood where his hatred stemmed from. It was enough that they'd been annoyances. Alya didn't want them around, either.

But still. That was all?

"Has anything else happened since then?" she pressed, making sure there was nothing but curiosity in her eyes, so that her father would not guess at her true thoughts. "Between the famine and what they've done now?"
