Astral Odyssey: Dying Ember
So, as long as Zira did not utter a word of complaint, Neoma did not feel the need to stop.
This worked in Zira's favour. Her pack’s attention turned away from Neoma. She never did stand out in the eyes of the main cast either. These gave Zira, who stood by Neoma, some room to act. Zira did not let a single plant go undiscovered as long as she could help it. Every plant, dull or striking, she swiped it up, sometimes needing a little sleight of hand to keep from anyone noticing.
