neron
Well, this was all falling the fuck to pieces, wasn't it.
Neron didn't really have time to comprehend any one thing - Loren denouncing himself officially (because it's all about you, little brother); Zariah demanding that he step down, and dropping the bombshell about something he had been living with for years before she showed up with a convenient child in tow, a child she had apparently traded away, Zariah, what the fuck; Noah's questions; Weaver's vitriol, and to top it all off with a cherry, Morgan's rough-housing.
"Not yet I'm not," he said through clenched teeth to the captain, steel blue eyes hard, though there was no tension in him. "If you all want me to step down, I will. But not tonight - not unless one of you steps up and takes control of this mess, with everyone in agreement. So who's it going to be?" He narrowed his eyes, glancing across the crowd gathering. "Morgan? Zariah? Weaver, maybe? Or my now-nameless brother? Who's going to make sure things keep running, when dawn comes and things are still carnage? Like it or not, I built this city up for the past two years, and I won't leave it without a Warden."
