For a moment silence hung heavy over the little group, and Weatu realized that all eyes were on him. He was the Nobel, and it was his life's duty to preserve his tribe's health and spirit...but what could he say to this? He had formerly dismissed the Angel rumor as merely that - just a rumor devised for the attention - but suddenly he was not so sure. Giant shadows from the sky brought death in their claws, kittens were born with unnatural markings, Howlers were disappearing...why shouldn't an Angel be born in fullness of health?

His spirit quailed at the thought - he knew the legends as well as any Paw, and better, since he was a Nobel - but he cleared his throat and kept a straight face, mostly for Mimiteh's sake. He did not have to ask whether the newcomer had actually seen this creature; it was enough to look in her eyes. They were blue-silver, like running water at twilight, very pretty against her pink coat.

"We did not want to believe the rumors," Weatu said slowly. "But now, it would seem that we must. I deeply regret the fate of your tribe, bluesister. The LeJene have suffered as well - but not, it would seem, to the extent of yours. Where are your surviving tribemates? Are they in need of our help?"
