arlette relents to wintersbane's explanation of why he did not want payment, though, in that way, it could also be seen as a debt that never closes. he, personally, doesn't like owing anyone and while he was certainly arturo's son, he got no joy out of holding debts over the heads of others. he was callous, but not to that extent. the conversation shifts to recruitment and wintersbane draws in a deep breath and lets it out in a heavy exhale. slow, wintersbane informs her. slower yet because umbra seems to enjoy chasing wolves from our bay than she does bringing them into the fold.
