WESSEX
Much the same with him? Flashing Remi a questioning glance, she watches his hand flex and wonders if something is supposed to happen - and then realizes that maybe that’s precisely the point. Something didn’t happen. Going from hand to face to pushing back a bit to get a better look at him, she realizes she may have missed something important when he came out of the sky. It’s that extra something that Ronin had when she first realizes he wasn’t entirely human anymore. Probably masked by all that power he has - or doesn’t? “Wait. You aren’t just a follower of Ludo now, are you? You’re like Ronin and me?” Demigods. Whatever that means.
(What it does mean is that the world just got a whole lot trickier).
She’s about to make a joke asking if he’s sure her kin are safe here, when she thinks better of it, knowing what he could throw back at her. “The shrine is for everyone. Options are healthy.” Besides, it may not have been The Voice that brought him and Ronin to Torchline, but she enabled everyone else to be here - those who helped him with the volcano, those who form his government. She deserves a little recognition for that.
No, I’ll be the stone
I’ll be the hunter, a tower that casts the shade
I lie awake and watch it all
I’ll be the hunter, a tower that casts the shade
I lie awake and watch it all
