red sun in the morning, sailor's warning

“Must be so” Mortis said agreeably, smiling at Hikaru, though there was still worry in his eyes. The panic of Odette’s fall wasn’t so easily brushed off. It reminded him all too easily how much he had to lose.

Odette’s question was a good one, but he didn’t have many answers for her. He glanced back at Hika beneath his wing. “What do you think, love? Should we head back?” he asked softly. They hadn’t discovered anything yet, but Odette was frightened, and he didn’t want to expose her to this territory much longer than they had to. Perhaps he could come back here himself and take another look around.
