they say that war is hell, but,
true hell begins when the battle ends
and you're the only one whose
hands still drip red
There’s a faint smile granted Jigano’s way at his pout. But she is surprised as he pulls a rose out, grasping it gently beneath her pale fingers in surprise. Her eyes sliding over to him in further amusement. “True magic or practiced hands?” She teases with a crooked fanged smile before she looks back at the rose, feeling the petals beneath her fingers, reminisced of when she had planted them during the Blight.
And when Jigano asks the question of the Wraith, her gaze slips back to him with that same soft crooked smile. She knows briefly what happened at the spire opening, learned of it from Wessex, but she knows enough that both sides of a story are important. And Wessex has other things to do, reasons to stray away from a council that she’d stepped down from being Queen to. “She will not.” The Penumbra assures the Sage, twirling the rose a bit beneath her fingers. “I won’t divulge more on it, but I just want to ensure we have sections for those to be heard that normally wouldn’t otherwise. A way to separate it all.” She says softly. “So that way whoever remains at the helm, whether it’s me or you all choose someone else, don’t have to try and cover everything. That way everyone has a bit of responsibility.”
