Inric turns back to her with a familiar weariness. She is gazing hopefully at him, hands clasped in unconscious supplication.
"That man - Prytanis - has some kind of hold on him!"
"It is not right to interfere," he says.
"But aren't they your kin too?"

Stand against thy kin and I will cast thee out!
He sighs, and surrenders. "You told me that Tiero works with wyrbeasts?"
"... yes?" She looks confused but hopeful.
