The Heartwood Float through bright rooms; no borders, no fences

Caiaphas had started trouble with Easthollow; it made some sense, now, as to why Caiaphas would want to implicate them in the death of the mercenary and father of Dragomir and Isilme. Hydra, thinking it best to know all in this matter so she could best understand her enemy, inquired: do you know the nature of the conflict with Easthollow and Caiaphas? Hydra did not much care for the reasoning of Vengeance as it aligned with her own interests—a fruitful alliance this was, between the two of them. As he permitted, Hydra drew nearer (careful nonetheless, and mindful of his person). 

The scent of them would not be forgotten. The scent of their blood and furs alike were committed to memory, and as Serem went off to find herbs Hydra glanced to Lyra, who would no doubt help the woman when she returned. She withdrew from the side of Vengeance having the scents she needed, but eager to hear the story of Caiaphas to better know her. She would ask about Merrick soon enough, but the adult among them for now held her attention.
