I will stand by you forever; you can take my breath away
Wessex nods in agreement - that they wanted to live again, to be like the current Ascended - that she had deduced in the months after Rory’s farmhouse. To see them take it far enough to barter with Grounders was something else entirely. And it is a sad thing - but the compassion that she continues to see in her Goddess is what, along with the options offered, continues to convince the demigoddess of the Voice’s superiority in the pantheon of Caido’s gods.
But we all know how the Wraith feels about the heralds. A diatribe here will change nothing.
A smile flashes across her face at the concession, turning to genuine surprise when the Voice gives her - and the rest of her children - a choice. A massive, game-changing choice, no matter what they do. The enormity of the result of her persistence is not lost on the Wraith. She is humbled in the face of her Lady’s faith in them. “Thank you,” comes out immediately, but that doesn’tt feel adequate. “- for the freedom to make this choice. For listening. Your love for your children - both past and present continues to amaze me.”
Loki, feeling something change in her bonded, leaves her playtime with the electric dragon and comes down, landing on Wessex’s shoulder with a questioning trill, until the blonde woman absently careses her tail.
“I'll let the other know and we’ll decide together. As a family.”
