Ob watches the gashes slowly close. he slides his hands from Pandora's and kisses her forehead, brushing lightly over her third eye.

"Thank you Bruha."

Pulling her into his lap, he closes his eyes. He sends his thoughts far, hoping the message gets through.

Cooza, I wish you good Hunting. Re'mi's past has returned, in all its claws and psychotic glory. I wish you were with us, but what you do is more important. Find your prey and come home to us soon. May the Dark Gods bless your Hunt.

Ob opens his eyes to find Stoney watching him. The look on his face is one of  pain, loss.

"Bro, we will find Alise. Look around you. The Sorcerer is with us. The shifters are relentless. Raina and Nicholas are hunters. We WILL find Alise."

Ob looks at him and shakes his head slowly. "Bro, you are grey, and I feel the sun just a few hours out. How soon can you and Mortuis cast? The sooner we get a fix, the sooner we can narrow the search grid."

When Stoney turns to talk to Mortuis, Ob kisses Pandora gently. "Can we organize a sleep detail? Keep someone up all the time, in case someone reports in? In about three hours Stoney, Tori, and I will be down for the day. Ike is already feeling it. Look at her...."

Ike is settling on the stage, Monty stroking lightly over the tan fur covering her shoulders. They watch as she turns to stone. Monty kisses her head, whispering something and walks around, beginning to clean up. Tori looks up from her conversation with a few shifters and points at the clock. Ob nods.
