Hornet read and re-read the letter. The moogle that delivered it had caught her bathing in the Forgotten Springs. She had made the last preparations in the cave and was satisfied that she and Dhemgeim would be comfortable there for at least a few days, as long as they wanted to stay.
Hornet was numb, staring at the page, every fear brought up. This was her fault. Yet again she wasn't there to protect him. Or her. She thought keeping her distance was protection. They wouldn't find him if she didn't beat a path to his camp. But they got him anyway, and used his sister to do it. His sister. She wanted to cry. To scream. To curl up and just vanish so she would at least not know. Not knowing would be a comfort. But she did know. And suddenly she knew exactly what she needed to do.
There would be one person who might know what's going on. A vile, wicked person that no matter what she had told herself before she was still planning to kill some day. That would have to be delayed. Hornet dressed in her armor and took up her axe.
She arrived in Ul'dah and strode with a purpose to the heart of Ruby Road. There she took a deep breath, ignoring the stares of those around her. She held it for a moment before in a bellow that would shake stone she roared...
"I NEED! TO SPEAK! WITH DELIAL!"
She then sat, and waited. If the witch didn't hear the words herself surely she must have a rat scurrying around that would inform her of what just happened. She sat and she waited. She sat and she sharpened her axe.
