all the things I once ran from, I now bring as close as I can
Why indeed, the story is quite short but not lacking in drama. "She ran for Governor in Torchline. Or, Queen. Whatever they call themselves now." Ru doesn't care about the semantics. "Harper ran against her. She used her family and connections as leverage, and Harper refuted them as far as I understand. Not exactly soft-handedly." But then again, given her daughter's general disposition and the way most everyone bent to her whims, maybe that was an exaggeration. This much is translated by the way she half-rolls her eyes and shrugs slightly. "Now she has decreed an eternal grudge against him." Something Hotaru completely understands given she has started and upheld such feuds in her own lifetime.
Pleased with the idea, Hotaru cinches in the last ruby and holds up the anklet by one end, watching the stones glimmer in the grey-toned light of Halo's snowy suburbs. "I'll have to pick Frey's brain on activation options. It's a good idea." Whether she'll stick with it is another question; Hotaru's mind is as fickle as her heart sometimes.
