Herbalists' Cache white flag

it was a conundrum. sun eater felt that this answer was too light, but his wife had not illustrated his suspicions. she had simply set many things aside, did not mention them. the man killed by gjalla had been the first moving in his mind, and now all else cascaded.

his trust in star eater had lessened, his trust in blackfell grown. but because it was a man before him, and because none of this had first been said without prying, the chieftain trusted him less. gjalla was overtaking both wife and hunter in lanzadoii esteem, but.

he must put her also to a questioning. yet it was the bloodhunter who had told him of the throne. and now blackfell gave more.

his mind turned.

blackfell had come for gjalla. this was true; he had spoken first of her. the careful lanzadoii said more. he snorted in acceptance of that. "so. who will you be now, uuts'taa?" he cleared his throat and spoke in stark, hurtful plainness; "suliya have no husband. do not wait for woman who disrespect. become lanzadoii."
