Flame sprouted, licking at the corpse, and Alys watched it for a moment before replying, wrapping her arms around her middle as though suddenly cold despite the oppressive heat of the tunnels. "Did you know that Sunjata recently asked me to join his council?" she said finally, her dark eyes flickering up to Deimos's. Letting that sink in for a moment, she sighed. "He shared some interesting information with me." About the flowers and their uses, among other things.
"If you'd asked me a week ago, I'd have absolutely been searching for one to use for Tal. But now..." Now she was torn, and she didn't know what to do. If she used a flower on Tal, it would not only be selfish, but it would be going against what her Archon had requested. But if she gave any flowers she found to Sunjata, it felt like a betrayal of her partner. "If it was Evie... what would you do?"
