"Heheh, just doing our part, Lorag," Uthri quipped. She stood up to address Meesei with a more direct manner, "Meesei, this is Vilana and her pack. They are scouts for what is left of the Senchal clan." Uthri looked over at Vilana while she explained, "It was clever, what they did. To keep hidden, they masked their scents in a durzog perfume. We had the kids in the trees with Peiter by the time they came up to us. Oh yes, and, er..." Uthri leaned closer to Meesei and spoke quietly, "Your reputation precedes you with these fellows."

"Say what you like about our search effort, I'm just relieved that we came across anyone," Janius added. He was grinning widely at the prospect of ending the drudgery of their search.

Uthri narrowed one eye and looked to Meesei. "One more thing, Colours is searching with Ahnasha today, yes? Did you spot them on your way back?" Uthri failed to hide a sly smile, "One of our new friends is looking forward to seeing him again."
