Moonspear in what distant deeps or skies

Desdemona described Hydra as a warlord, though she made a point to say she wasn't particularly bloodthirsty. Sugar's expression remained neutral, though she did quirk an inner eyebrow at this statement. The way the other she-wolf said it, she heard the capital "Q" in "Queen." She licked her lips, wondering if she would ever get to meet this Hydra in the flesh. She was extremely curious and also a little intimidated. And what about her mate? Desdemona didn't say much of anything in particular about Dirge, which was mysterious.

She went on to mention the pack's root family: the Ostregas. Sugar couldn't recall if she'd ever heard the name before, though she committed it to memory now. Desdemona wasn't an Ostrega herself, she said. Idly, the medic wondered if the Ostregas had any trademarks, like the Blackthorns' stripes or the Redhawks' tendency to resemble (and be named after) other animals.

Instead of asking that, Sugar questioned, "Is it a large pack? Does it have any allies or enemies?" Just asking that made her think briefly of the various packs she had learned about lately, from Rusalka to Sagtannet to all the others in between. She guessed there was a dozen, maybe more, plenty of which she knew precious little. She was much more focused on being a proper medic than a ranger, though she still enjoyed opportunities like this one to get her bearings.
