anselm said nothing, which frustrated and pained heda. "druid ... asked that she be found. brought back, buried here."
when fiona returned, the den mother would know she had been mistaken, too wrapped in her own grief and anger to know who was around her.
so badly she wanted anselm to — provide some gesture of understanding. to comfort her. yes. and she could almost laugh now, knowing full well he wouldn't do that.
the play of emotions along his face was heda's only comfort — he felt as she did.
the memory of amadeo's passionate words burnt through her, offering strength for a moment. 
she didn't want to be alone!! heda's eyes suddenly scorched with grief and she looked away to hide their fall, at least the first several, scrubbing madly at her face even as the sobs threatened.
