403 A Secret Shared

RETH

Reth determined the last details, then assigned everyone tasks—or told the others who they'd need to delegate to. One by one, each of them left on the way to find other Anima to help on this most crucial of all nights.

Eventually, only Reth, Suhle and Charyn remained. Reth waited until the door closed behind Behryn and Hollhye—who had insisted on staying within sight of Behryn, that they must go together to find the people they needed. Behryn looked resigned, and Reth didn't have the heart to tell her it was going to take twice as long that way—which would mean Behryn would be twice as tired. He couldn't fault her. If his mate had been there, he wouldn't have wanted to let her out of his sight, either.
