She hadn’t really been sure what to expect from Sanguine Market when they arrived, but she was more impressed with its visage than she anticipated. The markets full of people and goods of all varieties; it gave the impression that anything could be found there, for the right price. She had stopped for a few, watching the event with Elias and the food he had gotten, rolling her eyes a bit as everyone helped themselves to some. She wasn’t particularly hungry.<br/><br/>When they all seemed to have their fill, they finally moved on to the fortress and to their meeting with Lord Grimjaw. Apparently his name was well chosen. Since the fight with the dire wolves, Vera hadn’t said much. Even now, as Grimjaw explained the situation, what had happened thus far, and as he debated with the others, Vera had stayed silent. Leaning back against one of the walls with her arms crossed, she observed. It was amusing watching him take Guan down a peg, though she likely would start shouting about how wrong he was or some such. Once again, she would probably need to step in before they came to blows. They didn’t need that kind of attention at the moment.<br/><br/>She thought about some of the things he said about the dire wolf alpha. His theories would be sound, and she was no expect, but there was a third option she wondered if had at all been considered.<strong>“Lord Grimjaw, have you considered that you haven’t found the alpha because you have been looking for the wrong thing?”</strong>That was likely going to draw some eyes to her.<strong>“Intelligent, elusive, possible magic connection, able to attract wolves easily. Maybe what you are looking for is not an animal, but a man; more precisely, a Druid. One that takes on the form of a large black dire wolf when needed and blends in to the crowd as a person when not.”</strong><br/><br/>She finally looked up at him from under her hood.<strong>“If it is, he or she is likely hiding out in your very city. It’s just a thought to consider. As to my reward other than the bounty...allow me to think about it and get back to you.”</strong>She wasn’t entirely sure what she wanted and wanted to stall for time on that. She needed to make sure whatever she got was going to be worth it in the long run.
