She wiggled her toes in front of the fire and then stretched her feet out, with her legs sprawled before her.
She glanced over to Anu once more when she heard the other woman begin to speak. She was surprised to hear that Oak would be leaving them and was more surprised that he was departing for Vinátta. She hadn't realized that word had spread so quickly; she'd only just heard of it a few days ago herself.
"That's good," she replied slowly. "He needs a home," she added. She frowned. Anu would likely miss her son, but would she want to go after him? "I've heard of Vinátta before--only in passing. Would you like to go there to see what it's like? For us?"[html]
