Emberwood For A King To Do His Part

A petulant part of the mottled woman wanted to rally against this polite dismissal. That's not good enough! She'd been worrying for her siblings and her niece for weeks, after all, and surely that was more important than an alliance?

But she understood that they were not Greyback's kin, and that he could hardly have gotten to know them or her. Of course the job he'd been sent to do would be his priority, even if her own was different. And besides, her siblings were sheltering now in Easthollow, where they were surely safe and fed. It would keep until this conversation was done.

Easy stepped back and stood merely listened in to the conversation, deciding that she would follow Greyback to Easthollow when he left in order to reunite with her siblings. Bhediya and Ibis would understand. Especially if she returned quickly.
