Dragoncrest Cliffs the purloined letter

Chacal could feel Avicus' disappointment, and would have guessed that it simmered and brewed into something much darker, though she remained calm. Her eyes, feverish and bright, betrayed her. The way she clenched her jaw, and looked to Rosalyn and Erzulie- only to be met with stone-faced loyalty to their daughter- it looked like it dealt an appropriate blow. She felt perhaps they had lost an ally in Redtail Rise, but Chacal truly did not see the point in chasing after a madwoman. Not when she could not be convinced that if they didn't, some harm would befall them as well. 

The red woman left, silence following her. Her mother spared her a glance, one warm enough for Chacal to feel she had made the right choice. She looked to Erzulie, her eyes softening; she wanted nothing more than to please them and keep them safe. She could only hope that this choice would not have future repercussions.
