Eris is by James!
Escapes were not to be tolerated, even from the placid and even-tempered as this old woman. Eris had no way of knowing Verusha had simply mistaken Vesper for one of Salsola, being too old and feeble of mind to tell the difference between friend and foe anymore. It was death to slaves who attempted escape -- Darijus had the good fortune to have only slapped Salvia and refused complacency, else he would have met the same fate.
The dying woman in her arms, Eris unhinged her grip on the woman's throat, drawing her head back to watch as Miqui attacked the invader. The coal-furred hybrid watched this show, the blazing-angry snarl still clear on her face. She would not call her Family member back to her, but part of her hoped some of this ploy would escape and spread their story to the other packs of the land. Surely, they would twist it so that they had been provoked and Salsola had attacked, but her pack had proven its worth on this night, and the body she now picked up and carried was their only known casualty.
Carrying a slave was not their usual behavior, but this slave was mother to one of the family, and Eris acknowledged there might be some emotion between mother and child, regardless of her pack's cultural constraints. She would do Liliya the justice of delivering her traitor mother's remains, but neither would she hide the cause and method of Verusha's death. Eris was certain the hybrid Family member would retain her loyalty, regardless.
