Castitas saw Markus, who was now wake. "Did you sleep well?" She asked him, blushing intensely. Whisper looked back and forth between the two.
"Did something happen while I was gone?" His ears lifted with interest. "Are you no longer... clean, Castitas?" 
The priestess looked to the hound, her face scrunched up as she wondered what Whisper meant. "I bathed last night, I'm as fresh and clean as a I could ever be."
Whisper shook his head. "You have not committed any sort of sin?"
"I'm a priestess, I would never sin." She laughed, still oblivious to what Whisper was hinting at. "You told your mother about your brother, yes?" Her face went serious, speaking off the recently deceased.
The hound nodded, looking in Markus' direction. "She still wishes me to search for you... but I fear that it won't be long before she sends out her minions. Mother can get quite... impatient." Castitas bowed her head, showing that she understood. she continued to fill her pouch with drinking water.
Whisper walked nearby Markus, stopping to ask silently. "You did not 'take her' did you?" His eyes were filled with suspicion.
