'we need to talk' was not a common part of heda's lexicon. anselm would see it in how pensively she turned to him, almost wary as she visibly struggled for what to say.
"i don't think druid is coming back." quietly she explained the wolfbite and the creeping sickness that etienne had confirmed could be spread. almost tearfully she described the forest where her sister had gone, a place she hadn't yet been able to visit.
there was that and there was, "so we need another leader. fiona is gone too. there's you and etienne who have stayed the longest." out of obligation? out of debt? 
one more thing to discuss, but she was quiet now, waiting for anselm to discuss this and process it.
