Raleska thought of similar troubles as she absentmindedly picked up after Kaertok's scent. She was used to upheaval -- she had lived a life of chaos that made her oddly well-balanced in unbalanced situations.. but even then, she missed the presence of her brother, and was worried for whatever fate had in store for Rusalka.

Caiaphas still had not returned. It had been over a month; Svalinn too was gone -- this gave her some hope, since she had known Svallinn had gone after her stubborn dam. Maybe it was good news Svalinn had not returned -- maybe that meant they were out somewhere together, fighting the good fight.

Or maybe, it meant they were both dead, and never coming back.

Raleska's expression drew into a troubled frown and she quickly pushed that thought away. Breathing a heavy sigh, she caught up to Kaertok with a flick of her tail and padded alongside him, silent for the moment and grateful for his company.
