When Riccin turns back, Marduk peers over her shoulder to see why.. and immediately, her bloodpusher sinks. She forgot about Hinnom.
But the yellowblood has grabbed zim, and is hauling them like a package of goods back to the group. Hinnom dangles by zir cape, and even from here, Marduk can hear the rattle of their reeds, a high-pitched rasp that's more like the buzz of an angry insect than a true growl.
She doesn't like the way Riccin's holding them. That can't be comfortable! But Hinnom is the smallest of them all, and there's no way ze'll be able to keep up, otherwise. Unless..
Marduk steps to Riccin's other side, pulling Pheres gently with her, until she's next to Hinnom. Good thing ze isn't thrashing, or ze'd kick her in the face. "Hinnom," she says, "do you think you could use your psionics to keep up?"
