Sleepy Fox Hollow The way she goes, Bubs

"Heda?!" She blurted so suddenly that she sent a little glob of spittle flying. She pretended not to notice, secretly hoping that it landed in his eye for calling someone like Heda a bitch. Heda was so sweet, welcoming and empathetic that she even felt bad for implying that she was a bitch before she'd heard the name. 

She listened incredulously as he explained that Heda had come inland- very far inland for the island-dwelling wolf, which brought Suzu a great deal of worry. Why were Heda and her kids travelling this far inland, and how had her daughter been injured? 

Clearly, though, he hated her. 

She wanted to know what had happened to the charitable woman who had taken her in in a time of great need- but she doubted very much that she would get one more word of information out of Anselm if she proved herself to be a Heda-sympathizer. 

"Yeah, I know de name. But you be rid of 'er now- an' Etienne will come back," She searched his expression at the mention of her brother's name. "Is dat not a relief to you?"
