Moonspear more to do than can ever be done,

attn @Mira and @Mintaka

 

The walk home was done in silence, and once they past the borders threshold was Hydra able to look back at her children. Along the way, she ensured no threats lingered; her stomach sank to think of not one, but two of her cubs escaping the attentions of whoever supervised them that hour. Along the way, Hydra would be given pause when she thought danger might lurked. She advised her children of what to listen for. Complete silence in the wilderness can indicate that there may be a threat nearby, she informed, once in a low breath. 

She felt fortunate that no such silence overcame the world. 

Hydra did not address their error yet, too focused on their environment. And when they moved past the borders, Hydra looked back to them at last. What were you thinking? She asked, the question not at all rhetorical. Her tone was devoid of judgment, but her gaze was rich with her disappointment in them.
