[ Claude's sour tone is enough for Hilda's eyebrow to raise just a fraction. That kind of tone from him is a rare occurrence, but not unheard of and considering what they had lived through, Hilda understood why. And while she didn't think Petra would take offence to it (at least she certainly hopes not) hurt or not, Hilda had no problem putting Claude back in his place even if it's with a well aimed poke. The Lunae was a brilliant avenue and Hilda could have kissed Petra for the suggestion, but that was neither here nor there right now. ]
The Luane could be an option. Once we hear back from Nadine about what caused the lupine to wither that quickly, we might be able to approach them with more. [ And maybe Sam could give them in an; it wasn't as if she had any political pull with them after all.
It's ironic to her how it's easier to keep talking about planning in an effort to distract herself from the real horrors around them, but Hilda knows that there's only so much that they can skirt around if they want any chance of trying to locate Claude and Sylvain. Claude doesn't need to say it out loud: the other Summoned probably looked like them. Maybe worse if that could be believed. The very thought causes her to shift and pull him closer as she extends a hand for Sylvain.
A cold wave of guilt hits her at the mention of the Abraxan natives and it's like her body is suddenly impervious to the warmth of the Horizon's sun. ]
I mean we knew...that some of them were missing. [ But the Free Cities was so large, so over populated to begin with because of the influx of refugees, that it had been impossible to really tell. They'd had enough trouble trying to file paperwork. And with all of the focus on the Summoned in the last week, she had barely spared a second thought to the locals aside from her daily check-in's with the orphanages. But maybe that's what whoever was orchestrating this was hoping for. Her mouth suddenly feels dry. ] Were they taken at the same time as the Summoned?
