To ask for proof would be to seriously entertain the notion that the girl is speaking the truth.
Wessex simply isn’t that kind of woman. She needs evidence - like Ronin returning from the dead - to believe such things. Her people have never truly known Vi, Rae, and Mort. They’ve heard about them, but only ever encountered Safrin, Frey, and Ludo. Until recently. Perhaps if she had the faith of Amalia, this might have a different outcome. “I see,” is all she can muster in response. A non-answer.
The Queen must stick to her ruling, even though she’s decided the stranger probably isn’t a threat. The border is closed to everyone who lives on the other side, Fae or otherwise.
As they approach the line between the Hallowed Grounds and the Greatwood again, Wessex stops well short of it and leaves the visitor to cross back by herself. There is no reminder that a repeat offence would result in something much harsher - if the girl wasn’t listening the first time it was her own fault.
