NEPHELE
Alina's reaction is expected, if only because after departing from Ludo's side, Nephele had felt the same emotions keenly. She had been present at Delah's side during many of the initial encounters with the Grounds humans, had been fiercely proud of the stalwart strength of their Chief. With this in mind, her intense visage softens at the edges, allowing Alina her time to process - what little of it Nephele can afford her, with all she must say and do. "It didn't say, and I am still attempting to find out." Remorse tinges each word, wishing she had something more to give the huntress. Something more tangible, something that will slake the thirst for revenge that she feels eternally in her own throat these days.
At least she does not retreat away from the idea, though for a moment Nephele's heart goes still with dread as Alina recoils from the second blow of news. Instead blooming with pride and a severity that cuts through her pretty face, pleased to see the fierce woman take so solidly to the role in the face of adversity. Flying closer so that she may extend a hand, chakram glinting with cruel intent as their hands clasp firmly. "You have my mind and my steel at your disposal," she vows, hazel eyes bright and delicate hand unyielding. "But I will warn you, I have my own mission from Ludo. I intend to destroy the Ascended, no matter the personal cost. I will not ask you or our people to join me in this crusade, but I'm aware the connections between us may force your hand." Nephele can at least warn Alina of her plans, out of respect for the weight that has now come to rest upon the other Fae's shoulders. But she will not be dissuaded from her goal.
