Sobo's ears snapped further back at the tone Rosalyn took, even though he knew none of it was aimed at him. He followed along, puzzling over what Caiaphas would want Mireille for. Of course he had heard stories of the witch and how she stole children from their homes and kept them for her own, but she had been an ally of Rosalyn and Erzulie once, right? It didn't make sense for her to steal Mireille away...

That was when Sobo's steps faltered and his brows pinched together. Wait a second. That couldn't be right. They were crossing now from the forest claimed by Sapphique into the forest claimed by no one, looming tall and dark above the Sound. He was disquieted. Maybe she had said the wrong name and meant someone else?

Mamá, Sobo said with a nervous swipe of his tongue over his lips. Do ya mean someone else? I t'ought dat Caiaphas be dead.
