Broken Antler Fen culling voices

teya was displeased to hear that this woman had come and gone, but if she had been given entry, it must have been for a good reason. and so the raven studied the returned she-wolf for a long moment. "why leave?" if she wanted entry into brecheliant, teya felt entitled to know what sorts of things might drag her away again.
it was for ibis she spoke now, ibis who had lost two daughters and a husband since their conception. no more chaos or change could touch the roots of the fen, and she punctuated this with a lift of her chin. the other was hale enough and could be put to work. with more children presumably to arrive, a hunter was always necessary, but loyalty ranked more highly to teya.
yet her body remained open, her air friendly enough.
