Exton

Raina is catching her breath, tended to by Nicholas. Stoney is still staring at the blank scrying bowl. Ob looks at the floor and asks Pandora for a basket. He begins to gather up the gemstones. So many different stones, so many emotions running through the most quiet of men. Stoney reaches down and takes the basket from Ob, scooping out a small handful and putting them in his hand. He still can't find his voice, so he gives his thoughts to Ob.

"Mi Bruha... Stoney wants you to have these." When Pandora starts to argue he stops her. "Mujer, sweetheart, just take them. They are payment for all the stores you have used up, and a gift. They are not just crystals, honey. They are polished gems. Pick out a set and I will have them set for you."

He leans close and whispers. "Just take them. It will go a long way to making him feel less guilty about your having all this dumped here."

When Pandora takes the stones, Stoney picks up the blue shawl, stroking the soft wool gently. He hands it to Raina, laying it in her lap. Two sapphires nestle in the folds as he turns to his brother.

"We will find her Bro. I promise."

Ob looks at the others.

"Right! let's go plan a Hunt!"
