Alys
Alys arrived early, Sascha padding alongside, to assist with arranging food and drink for not only the existing Enders, but for the new arrivals as well. It was important, she thought, to make them feel welcome. Now that the meeting was set to begin and she was surrounded by people and their emotions, she thought that it was the right call. There was too much fear, and anguish, and anger in the air - they would need to do all they could to calm it.
This meeting, though, might not be the thing to do that - no matter how important it was. Alys understood, of course; they needed to determine how to proceed as a region, and that included their new arrivals. But the timing of it, and the potential for conflict amongst themselves... well, they'd just have to see how it went. Alys had never considered that she might want magic that could influence emotions, but she did now, if only for the reassurance that the meeting wouldn't descend into chaos.
But maybe she was getting ahead of herself. Maybe they could come to a consensus more easily than she thought.
As the meeting began, Alys took a seat in the front row. Her companion lay at her feet, as relaxed as could be expected under the circumstances. The seer and her bonded felt Tal and Boreal's absence like a physical thing - but in order to save them, Alys and Sascha would need to continue living their life. They couldn't afford to fall apart.
And no matter Alys's personal feelings on the subject, she had to think of what was best for everyone. "It's tricky," she said when Sunjata opened the floor. "It makes sense to protect the Barrows so that it's fully protected against anything the Family can throw at us, but we arguably have more to protect in the south. I just wonder what use it is to have one area protected against their creatures and one protected against the Family, when either or could just attack the unprotected region. I vote for the Barrows."
