Broken Antler Fen We don't talk anymore.

Teya mentions a name that she doesn't know. There are likely many things that have transpired which Ibis has been too busy for.
Who...? Ibis begins to ask, but her soft voice is overshadowed by Bridget. Was it a new recruit? Ibis had not sensed anyone new since Akavir's return...

It was good that they were on the same page at any rate. Teya agreed, and then Bridget, so Ibis was content.

Will you -- come back? queried the girl a moment later. Ibis sighs.

Maybe someday. I have my children to look after now. A husband to... figure out. My focus should be on them. She feels a stirring of something odd, like guilt almost, as she expresses this. But it is the truth.

Ibis hadn't been acting as a very good auspex before, nor a good wife. This was the first step, in her own mind, in fixing that.

I will go visit Eljay and Maia then, and.. Give them the news. Let them mull it over for a bit. a tense smile spared for Teya, a glance to Bridget - and the woman excuses herself.
