The Priest? The revelation shouldn’t surprise her, but it does anyway, and after she thinks about how the dark hair, older, and tall fit the man and his cartoonish level of vitriol… well, probably wouldn’t even need a godly nudge to kill, would he? In fact, she’s surprised none of them suspected him sooner.
The man’s fists clench, nails digging into his palms and someone brushing up against him might hear the faintest growl. Then I’ll find the Priest, she tells sister. And I’ll find you and you’ll have your revenge. Empty promises, really, given the multiple steps between where she is now and finding Mabel alive. If for whatever reason that doesn’t happen, well she’s also just made a vow to herself that she will take up Mabel’s mantle of revenge. For both of them. She can't fail them both. Stay with me, Mabel. This might take a bit.
The Wraith, however, is nothing if not clever, and whether it’s foolish or not, the man quickly flags down someone who looks like they know where they’re going, Wessex tries to drop her voice down into a lower register, and asks the Stormbreaker where he might find the Priest.
