The question was not one she had expected to be the cause for concern, and Hydra looked at her brother, feeling the string of her own patience being tugged. She had explained to Dirge about it all, and Arcturus too—he was not one to forget, but perhaps he had a greater point to make. You know of my ambitions, she began, firstly, and with them is where I begin. They are not the most savory sort, I know, Hydra drawled, but they are reliable, and fight with us as we need. They are wolves for hire—but our alliance ensures that they cannot be hired to work against us, she finished. It was a wise decision, she felt, though she understood their mistrust; it was not as though she trusted any but for her family in full, after all. But Hydra liked Vengeance well enough, unsavory traits and all; it would be nice to be able to command wolves to simply kill when need be. To take a leader at their word and act—if that had been their way, Titmouse would be dead. But they had softer wolves then; Hydra knew that the wolves among her now would protect their own without question. 

Against the Nightwalkers, if ever their trust was broken—but it had not been, and Hydra suspected it would not be. She hoped not in any case; she appreciated the bonds they were forging. 

Hydra looks to him, blinking; he did not remember? He was the wolf who stood over the moose carcass, she sniffs, searching for any indication that Arcturus might not be well... but then, even she in this moment, fretful as she was over her brother, could not recall with any clarity if he had mentioned his name or role then. The large wolf, Vengeance, Hydra clarified, remembering, at least, there had also been a cub there beside him. 

The Ostrega woman looked to Arcturus then with an expression that requested he get to the point; was there something she should know about? Something that had transpired between the then-and-now that needed to be addressed? She was a patient woman, but she never appreciated being left in suspense for very long.
