Blackbeak Bluff Cause I know they won't be coming here for anybody else

Are they from here — the woman's question seemed to pass in one ear and go out the other, but she hears it. It registers quickly and Minerva doesn't know how to answer, so she is silent while the woman keeps talking. She settles. Minerva begins to inspect her for harm but does not initially find any warning signs; there is some blood upon her, but it does not appear to be from the woman. Curious.

The pause is short-lived. No; my family comes from a series of islands, but I had hoped some had come this way. Do not worry for me — your time is coming soon, the babes are more important. A thin, tense smile slips across her face once she says this, and she busies herself with scouring the soil immediately around them for anything of use. It is not worth it though, for the mainland is so very different from Kea.
