SOHALIA
But you're untouchable, burning brighter than the sun
Bold of Deimos to think she might have a plan.
To be fair, she had the outline of a plan. She'd wait for Ronin to send word, for Dahlia to be preoccupied or, better yet, leave Stormbreak altogether. Then she'd make her move, rallying the Dragoons and reclaiming her throne.
It was the details that gave her pause. What exactly was Ronin planning to do? Whatever it was, would the Family fall for it? Even if they did, what if Ronin was defeated? Even with the city's guards at her disposal, it would be all too easy for the Family to swoop in and depose her again... and she doubted she would ever get a third chance.
"Sort of," she said after a moment's pause. "Or, at least as much of one as I can without being able to see the future." If only things were that easy. "I'm not sure how much I can share," she added, her tone apologetic. It wasn't for lack of trust; it was just that her plan hinged on someone other than herself, and she didn't want to jeopardize his actions.
And if she was discovered, before or after... "I don't think the Family will let me live a second time, do you?" she asked with a wan smile. "I hope they won't think me a threat when I return. But if they discover my plans?" She shook her head. "All I can do is be as secretive as possible. I hope to have more concrete plans once I talk to Koa." Maybe the dragoon could help smuggle her in somehow, underneath the Family's noses.

And now that you're close I feel like coming undone
