Silverlight Terrace you and i,

An able-bodied wolf could travel between the island and plains within four days. Based on the timeframe given, Ying assumed that any effort to locate her sister would be in vain. Hua would have presumably been close enough to Yuèlóng for someone to have found her already.

She turned to Hydra and sighed. My sisters are not always thinking, Ying explained, I protect them, so they can do silly things but not be hurt. Hua and Mei should have already been aware of Ying's intermittent temptations to take the island. It was one of the first things she said after the trio reunited, and that threat still held. She'd been content to mind her business in private, but the factors affecting her decisions were slowly beginning to shift.

A small show of thoughtlessness, but what were the implications? Ying couldn't think about them now. This is not just silly. This is... She shook her head and sucked her teeth, assuming Hydra understood her disappointment. The women were on the same page, as far as breeding and choosing partners. Hua, however, had not shared in that discussion.

Who had known her sister? Moreover, how had her sister allowed herself to be known? Of the sisters, Hua's sociability typically fell somewhere between Ying and Mei. However, she'd changed drastically since deciding to lead a pack. Adopting wayfarers and bedding with foreign men — one could only assume that the latter had occurred. Hua continuously proved herself to be less self-aware than once thought, and therefore, less worthy of her title.

Having thought on these things for a moment's time, Ying decided to state her decision. I see the bay. There is a man I know there to keep guard. She looked to Hydra, for surely she would understand. Do you still want this?
