teya was observant. kynareth accepted her test with a charismatic ease, and eljay seemed inclined to take her lead upon this. she saw things perhaps more grayly than the caretaker: brecheliant was self-sufficient, but they were alone so far from the fen. there was redhawk, however. she considered that perhaps eljay might still harbour loyalty toward the pack from which he had come.
