I found Reeca in one of the side tunnels we often passed on the way to the Den. She was surprised to hear from me, but beckoned me into her cave when I reached her.
It was small and simple, and I loved it, because the furnishings and the way she decorated seemed much softer than I would have picked as her taste.
"Are you busy?" I asked her quickly when she invited me in.
"No. I have a meeting this afternoon with the healers, but I'm free until then. What's going on?" she asked me, somewhat warily, tucking that white stripe of hair behind her ear.
"I just wanted to prepare you-and give you a last chance to bow out. I've just left a conversation with Rake and Cazz, and they're going to-"
"Rake's back?" she asked quickly, stiffening.
