Even healers need a helping hand sometime, she argued, but if you think you’ll be all right, well… I trust you know best.

She lapsed into silence then, thinking. Etienne hadn’t really reacted strongly to Sobeille’s name. And as far as she could recall, Sobeille had never mentioned his name… or the names of any male relatives, for that matter. Perhaps she wouldn’t want this man near her or her children. The only way Pie could find out for sure was to tell her about this meeting.

In the meantime, she decided not to mention Sobeille or her offspring, although it felt a little wrong to keep this information from Etienne. It just wasn’t her secret to tell, even if Tiuttuk wasn’t certain it was a secret at all. Better safe than sorry. She doubted the pups’ mother would fault her for exercising caution.

Are you staying nearby? I can’t stay here long, though it doesn’t feel right, leaving you in such bad shape. If you tell me where you plan to be, I can at least consult with Alaric and one of us can come check on you, Pie said. And I’ll know where to come find you, should Sobeille want me to bring you to her, she added silently.
