The young man was surprised that he was able to put Arian at ease slightly. But clearly she had wanted to bring Sin into the pack for the strength he offered, and she needed someone to agree that it was the right decision, despite the opposition of many.

"Is it Yfir you speak of?" he asked curiously, wanting to know of the threat that caused her such an ominous feeling, "Or do you sense something else on the winds?"
