Moonspear And into the fire we go

Hydra didn't want to downplay his response but frankly was relieved to hear of his own concern. But that did not stop her from looking back to Liffey. If Gannet had wondered it, she knew he would have asked her father. How? Because in every single meeting the two had together, Hydra was informed what went on. Gannet had never held his tongue before. 

Because you're healing, she said to him, quite frank. Because Winter isn't over, and the storms have come. You've taken resources, and you're on your feet again. I know when you can contribute, you will. You're also my friend, and that had its benefits, fortunately. That was what she had rationalized his acceptance as. Hydra looked to Liffey. Actually, that's also how Rannoch came into our ranks. He was injured pretty badly, too. We patched him up, and then took him into our ranks once he had recovered a bit. Or had she forgotten that Moonspear was capable of kindness? That they truly did care for those that ran among them? Gannet might have some work to do, but really, what was so bad about that? 

Hydra did not know Liffey well enough to sense there was something she might want to say. She had only answered the question they had both been entertaining, thinking this to be the source of the restlessness.
