Normally, Hornet would have gone on her own way immediately. But...normally, she was in Hallownest. The great, silent kingdom was her back yard. There was no stretch of tunnel within that she did not know. There was no where she felt unable to handle herself there.

This place, wherever it was, was an unknown. Perhaps having someone around wouldn't be QUITE so awful here.

Hornet fell into step besides the vessel, silent and alert.
