It sounds like Hyena is interested in having Hiroshi claim Alana, or at least that's my guess. When it comes to Mephis, both of those options sound pretty good to me, so I'm willing to wait and see how things play out. I presume Lord Balebrook wouldn't have any issue with her making her 'services' available to the party while out adventuring with them? Edit: If he becomes their patron, at least.
