Ah, she’s quite new. That’s fine, if anything Kiada can absolutely explain what LongNight is like in the Grounds. She has no idea what to expect here, not after the attack on the Palace, but at least she knew what she was missing. And it was… Bittersweet in a sense. She should be back at the Grounds, slipping out at night to take on the longest night in getting her ex-lover’s soul back from the monsters for Ludo. But she’s not. She’s here instead.

Sighing quietly to herself mostly, she flashes Mallorie a smaller smile. “[say]It’s a week of pitch black darkness.[/say]” She begins, swallowing down half her glass before setting it aside and giving Mallorie her full attention. “[say]In the Grounds, there’s creatures that can only survive when it’s that dark out. They come crawling, trying to get more powerful, steal ascended upgrades, grab whatever they can and will absolutely kill to get it.[/say]” She pauses briefly before Auni comes trotting up to her side – the luxere eyes Mallorie curiously before trotting over to greet her. “[say]They do what they can to get you to open the doors that week. It’s… Terrible, exhausting, and when the sun finally rises once again we spend the following season fixing the destruction.[/say]”
