A woman called Lane arrived, and she spoke openly to Antha while at the same time beginning to treat him. Vorilye was not a religious man, but in the moment, it felt as if his prayer had been answered. When Lane then spoke to him, he cleared his throat and offered them what little he could. "I... have a family - young ones. We live in the hinterlands, in secret... we tell no one our names. We mean no harm,  we just want to protect our own."

The Cruor man recalled a conversation he'd had with @Themis. "My only duty, is to keep everyone safe. If I cannot do that, I am to be removed. End of story." But, he told himself that attacks well out of the shadewood could not be prevented; none of this was the fault of Themis. Actually, it was all his fault - he had strayed from the sanctity of their forest, he had lent his call to the air. How foolish he was.

He met Lane's gaze, then, and uttered and quiet, "Thank you for helping me. I will make sure my family knows what you've done."
