Got no plans and I've got no money
Gone are the days of milk and honey
Gone are the days of milk and honey
What could she have done differently? How could her actions have prevented this particular outcome?
Soh started to pace, gnawing at her lower lip as she delved deeper into her thoughts. Back and forth she went, processing the seemingly insurmountable task ahead of them and already coming to the same conclusion as Zavien before he even began to speak. Only a few weeks, Safrin had told him - not enough time to save the city, not without jeopardizing everyone and everything in it. Not without risking everything they'd tried so hard to protect.
Her steps stuttered to a halt. She lifted glistening silver eyes to meet Zavien's green, but her voice didn't shake when she repeated, "We have to leave." A single, heavy exhale was all the grief she allowed herself before packing it all away, shoving her emotions into the back of her mind, where she could process it all later - or not at all.
"Okay," she said, wheels in her mind turning now for a new reason, running the numbers, planning the logistics, focusing on the things she could control, because her feelings about Stormbreak's impending demise were not among those things right now. "We need to start evacuations immediately." Drumming her fingers on her thigh, she looked up at Zavien. "I spoke with Deimos a few days ago, right after the tremors started. Halo is willing to take evacuees. I haven't confirmed with Flora or Sunjata, but I suspect that Torchline and King's End will, too. The Hollowed Grounds are the only place I'm unsure of. I can send letters to confirm who will or won't take people."
