Firefly Glen ours

With him willing to lead and learn known, it seemed only a matter of time now. And Hydra never did enjoy wasting it. I suppose we should return home then to find out, hm? She started forward, gesturing to her side for him to join her there. Tell me, Osiris, more of your trip. It was good of you to stop and visit Easthollow, she remarked, thinking aloud, I have not been able to make the trip myself... but Valette... she has been good to our family. Better that Leta has elected to join us, too, as Bronco and Meerkat have, Hydra had not thought too much about why that was; Leta, to the matriarch, was a girl who desired to grow and become a braver woman. 

Hydra could certainly help with that. 

Though Hydra saw Osiris as a man in many ways, in this one area she was entirely oblivious that he might fancy any at all. And that in turn, some might fancy him. For when she looked at him in certain lights, he was as small and soft and vulnerable to her as the day he was born... hardly grown enough for that, and so it never had come to mind.
