Their last stretch of traveling had been testy, and she knew that was mostly her fault, and she was eager to touch base with them and be sure they could fall into their usual easy companionship. Huldra really did enjoy their company, as aloof as she generally acted, and more often than not they made her laugh. Even if she had found a possible replacement for their role as protectors, they had become friends too and she wasn’t going to give that up.
