Melita
they should have checked the ashes
of the women they burned alive
of the women they burned alive
Unaware of some of her effects, Melita hummed a little under her breath as she snagged at Fangorn and Sila, ensured they’d both had enough and then took another swig from her canteen. Iskra’s admittance drew her attention back to him though, with the same sort of arched indulgence of her brow, trying to mire through everything left unsaid. “I haven’t found any either,” she shrugged – trying to make light of the circumstances of not being particularly helpful – unless, of course, she was shooting arrows at gods damned yetis and trying to make sure no one died on her watch. The latter hadn’t gone well.
It sounded as though he maintained some semblance of a routine though, and she nodded, content with that. As far as his running, perhaps the rest would remain to be seen – for all his promises, she still wondered if he’d balk and bolt at the first opportunity.
Her own motivations drew her sight along the trees, watching branches maneuver under the push and pull of the wind. “Well, Ludo wanted me to spread some fun and chaos around. Said everything and everyone was too serious.” Which was a justifiable notion, given the heavy ambushing of Family nonsense at any given turn. She’d yet to fully embark into Flora’s recent actions, and still pretended to keep her head down, given how her name had been broadcast too. “So I’ve been doing some games and shit to entertain the masses. Had water balloon fights in Stormbreak,” and she began ticking them off on her fingers, one by one. “Hide and seek in the Greatwood. Big duck hunt in the Grounds…,” rolling her shoulders again, she considered other portions. What wasn't said was just how chaotic each multitude had become - from fights with citizens, irritating Karens, and small fires. “Means I’ll probably have to bug Halo at some point or another soon.”

because it takes a single wild ember
to bring a whole wildfire to life
to bring a whole wildfire to life
