Thanks NightOwl!!! Pretty Girl (above) is finished playing her part, but Talks Over the Left is old and crafty. I wouldn't count him out just yet...

WOW! I had know idea why someone would want the kill Springing Doe until now and the reason is very original! Is the story over or will we get to hear more about the after affects of this plot? :D

At last, at the grudging silence stretches on, Smoke Cat remarks, "There are many potential suspects at a wedding; you picked your time well." Talks Over the Left looks smug, but also nettled. "Yes," he says, "but the coup was to deprive her father of Springing Doe just at her proudest and happiest moment." "I see. And when did you plan to eliminate Wolf Calling, since waiting for another wedding would be so... unoriginal?" The old man sighs. "It doesn't matter now," and slumps forward.

"White Bear must suffer as I have suffered. I lost my son to the same fever that took your mother, Smoke Cat, all because our clan leader allowed Rolling Thunder to claim the best trade route territory that year rather than fight for it. The medicine was too slow in coming." This time the young shaman played a waiting game; truthfully she was aghast at the old man's stored up vitriol. Grey Owl would have spoken then, but he did not want to split the elder's focus and distract from the tale.

"Really, I hold nothing against you, boy, except for your abysmal choice of brides. But the daughters of White Bear, and yes, I've seen which way the wind is blowing regarding Wolf Calling and Star Hawk, must not be allowed to monopolize the power in this region." Smoke Cat Watching blinks as if dust were being blown into her eyes. "You'd really kill to prevent what you see as potential dynastic ambitions?" she asks. "Don't be stupid, shaman. I have more respect for your intelligence."

"No, I am not alone; there is also a young woman of Rolling Thunder. However, she is irrelevant and knows nothing. So, no, there will be no more attacks." He falls silent, awaiting the next question as though this were a game. "Why? Why would you do this thing?" Grey Owl bursts out, goaded beyond his patience. "It is a long story young man. Are you sure you have the temperance to listen?" the attempted murderer needles his intended victim, all suavity and solicitude in his tone. "Go on."
