"Thank you," she said, flashing a small smile. "He's asked me to be his Seer. I think he intends to use my visions, if he can, but aside from that - I'll just be helping where I can. And, gods forbid something were to happen to him, but this way there's a contingency plan... just in case." In these uncertain times, Alys wasn't going to assume anyone would be safe. And if she could take care of her home, in any way that she could... well, she would do her best to do it.
As for what information Sunjata had shared, Alys paused, unsure what she could say aloud. "Some gardening tips," she said finally, watching as the last ashes of the fyrhund settled to the ground. "I've always grown more herbs than flowers, so I didn't realize how... versatile they could be." She glanced at Deimos, hoping he'd gotten her meaning.
Her friend's answer to her query came quickly, and she blinked back the sudden press of tears. Even Deimos would choose his partner over his region - did it make her a bad partner that she wasn't sure what she should do, if she were fortunate enough to find a flower? "That's what I'm afraid of," she whispered, forcing a heavy breath through her lips. Collecting herself, she shook her head. "How can I choose myself and my partner over the good of all of Caido? But how can I just let him stay with the Family? It's - it just feels impossible."
Then she looked around. "Of course, we'd have to find a flower, first."
