Fiera shivered with excitement as her master contacted her again, though she did her best not to let it show in her face. Just to make sure, she let her head drop so her expression was obscured. The others didn't seem to notice. But when she was promised a reward, a pang of desire shot through her stomach, and it was all she could do not to cry out.
"We..." She cleared her throat. "We need to look for her."
Elyssa nodded. "Yes, we do." She gave Fiera a sharp look. "We, before you propose going scouting by yourself again. The orcs are on high alert, and you won't be able to cover much ground if you have to sneak past them."
"Won't cover much ground all going together."
"Maybe," said Elyssa, "but it will be safer."
Fiera dared not look up, lest her face betray something of her intentions. "Two groups? Lienna and I. Elyssa alone."
Elyssa pursed her lips. "Hm. That's--"
"Not a bad idea," said Lienna. "If anyone's gonna go it alone, you're the least vulnerable. And I'll be alright as long as they don't get the drop on me." She reached out and ruffled Fiera's hair. "You keep those ears to the ground for me, and we'll be fine."
There was a little more discussion, hammering out the details of where they were going, where they would meet up, how to signal each other in the event of trouble or success, and then Fiera was leading Lienna down the path her master had laid out for her.
