Why would anyone go through the trouble of supervising an imp and covering his tracks? When she had her fun, she usually left behind some evidence of her chaos unintentionally... unless it was detrimental to her hunt. Perhaps that was why her mind wouldn't stop thinking about that imp.<br/><br/>She blinked to clear her thoughts and refocused her attention on the dwarf who had apologized for correcting her. "<b>Don't be silly, I will address you as you wish,</b>" she told him reverently. Had the other two conscious occupants of the inn heard her, they would've thought it strange that she spoke to him in such a way when earlier, she had spoken with Erebus much differently. Different people demanded different kinds of attention and Loretta knew how to oblige those needs. That's what made her a good hunter.<br/><br/>While Uncas clearly kept his story brief for a reason, she smiled at his response. "<b>That's sweet,</b>" she commented, trying her best to make it sound as genuine as possible. She added a small smile to reinforce her words. It didn't tell her much about how they met and why they remained companions, but it told her what she needed to know about their relationship and what it meant to him.<br/><br/>"<b>He tore out the blow dart before he shifted, but didn't make it far. I don't know what poison was used but it was strong,</b>" she told him as she quietly opened the door, to Erebus' room. She didn't want to wake him, for some reason, but knew that it was pointless for the two of them to chatter in the hall forever. Besides, the sooner she could reunite Uncas with Erebus, the sooner she could slip out the door and focus on what really weighed heavily on her mind.
