“I agree,” Vela declared with a nod of her head when Yanin pointed out the urgency in getting to Wenal and hunting down the vampire, “but it's a lot easier to get where you need to be when you know where it is. As I said before, he's been going around all over Wenal, pickin' off a victim here and there every several days without leavin' any clue as to where he came from or where he's goin'. I know how you feel; back in the day I'd have been wantin' to go immediately, too, but we don't have all the information we need. The duchess' people will, and they'll be able to help figure out where to look.” She shrugged. “If you all want to go right away I won't stop you, but I'd recommend taking a breath and waiting for support from Nemhim.”

A short while later the baroness paused eating for long enough to examine the pictures Yanin had offered her and, once she realized what they were, smiled at him gratefully. “Good idea. I will make sure these get to someone who can copy them and distribute them to the 'watchers. If there's anyone looking in Nemhim, I'll be sure they find them.”

“That's not what I meant,” Vela chuckled when Yanin bluntly suggested that she ask whatever questions she might have for him. “I don't really do the whole 'get to know someone over dinner'-thing... at least it'd have to be a really long dinner! I don't really know anything about any of you yet, so I wouldn't even know what to ask.” She sighed. “But since you offered: what brought you here? I assume you answered my summons, but why'd you do that?”
