Stone Circle Pango has an oil leak

The one good thing about the decreased numbers was that it had been easier to feed them all.  Sure, Arbiter might not be at peak burliness but it could have been much worse.  She was pretty much just feeding her own family, which was doable but not the best.  For now she believed that perhaps things were turning for the better -- at least if the choices she was now making were the right ones.

She bowed her head in greeting as Valette appeared, then came straight to the point, as it wasn't like she was particularly into small-talk,We continue on.  But I came here to say that we'll be leaving our creek to move north a ways -- to the grove or the bypass.  I think it would be best -- it'll take pressure off the land here.  Perhaps make it easier on us all.  Arbiter was not going to mention what she'd found.  This was not the time to encourage even allies to get the same idea unless they were volunteering to become her subordinates without the allure of possible food in a time of scarcity.  She would always serve herself, her family, and the ones who already followed first.
