Hotaru

Take me where the shadows grow
Just wanna not be here

Melita's wave is returned with a warm, if wan, smile. Were she not dividing forces with Sunjata she would embrace her, but right now Hotaru is feeling rather...prickly. Which means it's a good thing Melita expresses her doubt first given the things the Valkyrie would have said in her stead. That doesn't mean she won't express her opinion at all however, though it's tempered with the time provided by the others in attendance throwing their proverbial hats into the ring.

"The demigods don't have the luxury of remaining removed from the issue if the gods determine the newcomers need to be faced." Which is the nice way of saying 'we don't get a choice in our involvement, so why offer the illusion of one when it's not your call to make?' She's not normally brought to these heights of tension by Seren, but Safrin's stench is all over this, and it makes Hotaru restless and frosty. She shouldn't be surprised that Safrin is trying to make her gatekeeping of vital information more palatable by assigning Seren as the keyhole.

So the star-bitch is resorting to child soldiers now? Not surprising. Youthful pawns have always been her favorite contrivance.

Remi's act at least makes...whatever the next step is a safer one to take. She remains, making her decision clear, but her crossed arms and regal, unaffected expression make clear her reticence at the prospect of helping Safrin in any way. Damn her for being part of the Old God pantheon, but if it provides more information about Sunjata...Ru banishes that from her mind and waits for the rest to make their choices.

Take me where the stars don't show
It can get a lot out here, shining all alone
