"It might be a good idea to assume that there are more invaders around, then," Maea replied with a frown, intensely uncomfortable with that idea no matter how much sense it would make. Even an overwhelmingly strong opponent shouldn't be able to take on all the demigods of this world on their own, and if invasion was the end goal... an army was sort of implied. Even a small one.
Her head was starting to hurt. Rubbing the bridge of her nose, the Ancient scowled down at her feet while listening to the answers Remi diligently provided her with. Insight into his abilities was interesting. So was the part of Sunjata's mission. She didn't much like the unspoken critiques against Danta - not the first time or even the second she heard it mentioned - but could at least offer some feedback there.
"I would never presume to tell Danta how to run this country," she said softly, "but he won't be doing it alone from here on. He has hired Kiada, and once the details are sorted out, me, to take care of... the daily." Read, the stuff the Theocrat wasn't interested in. "Between the two of us, at least letters and meetings will be tended to."
Drawing a deep breath and holding it until something popped in a shoulder, she tried to expell some tension with the exhale, and offered Remi a wry smile.
"Could I impose on you to check in with Sunjata and see how he's doing? And I'll do my experiments to see if magic types has any effects on the void creatures. It's a long shot, but maybe their weaknesses can be applied to this invader too... Plus we should keep an eye out for any strange stuff going on, in case any other invaders are lurking and causing mischief."
Checking off the list of things to do on her fingers, Maea looked to Remi for anything else she may have missed. "I'll check Danta's mail for the drawing, but just in case I'd be grateful if you could send a fresh copy. It certainly can't hurt."
