Lorelai looked up from her contemplation.  What she offered Hazel was a big step, and Lorelai thought it best to give her ample time to think on it.  She smiled at Vespa as she entered the room.  In Lorelai's opinion Vespa was the picturesque image of the up and coming witch,  already quite potent Vespa worked constantly to hone and further develop her talents,  as well as gain a functional understanding of magical theory in general.  Her sister Elina on the other hand...Lorelai liked the girl,  but like Hazel she was sweet,  and as endearing as that was it simply wasn't practical for a witch.  Unlike Hazel though Elina seemed to have little interest in developing her talents.

Perhaps some witches could afford to be sweet if they had strong sisters.  Lorelai strived to be such a sister,  Vespa was busy enough so Lorelai ensured that she checked in on Elina from time to time.

[color=f26522]"Vespa,  good to see you.  How are enjoying Alice's works?  I always found the later volumes to be of dubious value, they're highly theoretical to be sure and from what I understand she suffered from quite a few hexes performed by rival witches near the end of her career."[/color]

Looking at Alexina she realized that here,  surrounded by what she considered to be some of her closest friends they might as well just get started on figuring out the Fenros problem.  Alexina had told her recently that he was in the region,  and judging by her love's discomfort she likely hadn't recieved good news tonight.

[color=f26522]"Actually, we were just about to discuss Fenros.  I really shouldn't in front of Hazel,  but considering the apprenticeship I just offered her I see no harm in her being aware."[/color]  She squeezed Alexina's hand as she gestured to her love.  [color=f26522]"Alexina has been hearing word that he's nearby,  she's just recieved news that I presume isn't all that good judging by your demeanor love."[/color]

Lorelai favored her girlfriend's cheek with a quick kiss before continuing.  [color=f26522]"I also fear he may not come alone.  My demonic servitors have informed me that the Parisi brothers have been spotted in the nearby town.  The scions of two well known hunter clans nearby at the same time can't be an omen of good things to come."[/color]  She winced slighly as she shifted sending a small shock of pain up her spine,  this really wasn't a good time to be suffering one of her episodes.

[color=f26522]"But we've time to prepare,  so I wouldn't be all that worried were I any of you.  However I do recommend caution in the woods for the immediate future,  and if you could gently inform our other sisters as you encounter them I'd appriciate it."[/color]
