// Ring around the rosie - Pocket full of posie //
Lena's matter-of-fact responses came like someone who was tired. Kaisel might have suspected he was the cause, if he had any faith at all that he was nothing but charming to everyone. Delusion was an exceedingly great way to live. Still, Lena did not withhold, and little by little her answers chiseled his curiosity into a better point. Although he listened, he did cast one glance back to the gloom they were steadily leaving behind, where the vipers had been. She said Mittens took threats seriously and well, that had felt serious. If it wasn't, Kaisel was certain he didn't want to hear Mittens being serious, that had been more than enough.
"Ooooh, so these are the flowers I've heard my mom talk about in briefings." Kaisel straightened up, a bit more interested in this nature trip now. These were the things directly responsible for keeping the purple fuckers a bit at bay. This was important work. He began to noticeably search around rather than merely trudge behind her like a living shadow.
"Lena?" he asked again after a pause. "How did we let Dahlia take over our city?" He remembered the panic, the aftermath, the way many had fled for safety not long after. The streets were emptier and the halls echoed more than he remembered. It felt as if many had given up and left Stormbreak to the wolves. He knew it was more than that, or guessed it was at least. He supposed many of them had run to here to find flowers, but he wondered why the might of their mighty city had not been enough to stop the Violet.
