and the only solution was to stand and fight
Likely nothing short of an invasion was going to cease and desist with Dahlia’s hold on the land now, especially when they didn’t know how many were simultaneously involved. The bout of frustration and irritation loomed but only quickly, permitting it to extend into the flames of the now burning river star instead, until that too was ash and bone and gone. “I cannot imagine it is only the two.

He had heard about Flora, nodding along at the notions. “She let us know. We have been very careful on hunts, thanks to her warning.” Brows furrowing slightly, he stared at the husk of the creature, burying the sigh longing to take hold in his ribs. "Have you heard of anyone else being infected?"
The melancholy dissuaded partially, when the congratulations followed. He gave a laugh instead, an apologetic glance towards Remi for the ‘buried lead’ – but his furtiveness had always been prominent, and while the information would have slipped out eventually given the difficulty in hiding an actual infant, he’d held the notions close to his chest before. “Thank you.” At both Ronin and Remi’s suggestion, he pondered over the circumstances and potentials, hemming and hawing, wondering how many would refuse. “Our training grounds are quite large. We could always hold it there.”
