WHO: Wrathion, Anduin, Kaneki
WHEN: Early March
WHERE: Ke-Waihu
WHAT: Investigating wells and trying to make friends with a spooky snakey friend
WARNINGS: Potentially some discussion of child kidnapping, harm to children, and if a snakey lady friend might be... eating children.
Dead ends.
Nothing but dead ends.
Wrathion paces by the well, turning over everything he knows as he waits for the others to arrive.
Kaneki had said she was a mother looking for a child.
Children had gone missing, three daughters one son. No common location. All over the last ten days.
His theory about the dark water, too, may be amounting to nothing. It seems their slithering friend predates it by around a year -- divine punishment.
Frustrating.
She hasn't been witnessed eating these children, so there's a chance they are still on the right course, but neither have they any proof of anything else.
Frustrating. Wrathion handles frustration poorly. He likes to make clear progress, to plan, to work towards a goal -- but the goal is still unclear here. The path is forked, and he knows not which one they are taking
Are they helping a creature, or killing a monster? Are they going entirely down the wrong path, and will they imminently find out she knows nothing and has simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time?
Will children keep vanishing, all the while?
Having no solid lead is agonising, especially when time... continues to grow short.
He can only hope they don't run out.

"Let us hope she is open to negotiation."
He patrols the house, checking doors and windows so she has only one way in and out -- better not to be snuck up on. He's just bordering on starting to generate impatient energy when Anduin comes back.
"Ah," he says, and moves to grab an old box to offer to Anduin. "I had no idea you were a talented aquarist. Come, tuck your new friend out of sight and I'll recast. I suggest we then move ourselves into the shadows to see what comes of this."
