She nipped the old stallion's mane, tugging at a thick braid to urge his compliance, then turned her attention again toward Solis. Lips tugged into a saccharine smile made no friendlier by the harsh lines of her bony brow, the witch doctor nodded sweetly in the god's direction.
"Illen tek splep, broder Solis."
With a peculiar sway in her shaggy hips, the mousey mare turned and nipped Turhan more emphatically on the flank, indicating he should follow. They would find no answers here.
