Opening her eyes again, Almase stands. "You don't understand!" she cries. "There is no more Silver Coppice! They've scattered! Batal's in Shangri-La, Farhan's in Encante Timbre, Adib and Amal are someplace near Riphath, Nazeem's in Togarmah, and we three are here! It's gone! The herd is scattered, like dandelion seeds on the wind!"

Bayda stares, stricken. �They're...scattered,� comes her mind-voice, unusually quite -- a mere whisper in the minds of all present. �We're the largest portion of the herd in one territory.�

Dirayat's gaze seems latched onto Almase. "This...is bad."

*Raya is confused. "But...why?" she whispers. "How can the most important silverblood herd in all Creoto just...vanish like that?"

Mulan, too, is confused, but in a different way. "Please excuse me for a moment," she says, walking a little distance away to ponder things. Her blood calls to her, beckoning her to join the ways of her kin -- and some, small part of her is answering, and the rest can barely hold it back. Despair fills her, unshown on the outside, as the internal battle continues. What is she to do? She wants to be a silverblood, but -- might her presence just endanger the others? Can the blackbloods somehow...get at that small part of her that belongs to them? Is there a way they can make it defeat the part of her that chooses the ways of the silverbloods? Particularly -- her heart twists in pain at the thought -- Sombra, her twin?

Almase watches Mulan go, then turns to *Raya. "There are...a lot of reasons. There are many, many reasons."
