In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer
Morgan takes the drink. Weaver understands that burn of whiskey, how it brings something back to you. There is little else she can offer, because nothing will make it better. Nothing will undo what has already been done. They cannot bring back the dead. They can rebuild, but they cannot remove the memories of this night. She will never forget the faces of the dead and dying, the screams of children and cultists alike. She will never forget that burning the cultists alive had been easy, that she felt no remorse. Her brother had been more right than he realized, when he’d started calling her The Scythe.
Weaver leans back, kicking her boots onto the table, listening as Morgan talks. She does not react to the news Morgan shares, though it is news, for Weaver hadn’t been quite privy to the level of distrust Morgan holds for the Ascended. Add that to the list of things to consider. Weaver only nods at the mention of Neron being Ascended. He’d told her as much when they first met, and perhaps she ought to have thought more about the implications of it at the time, though she had not. Well, she is considering now. ”Is there a reason that you believe they are a threat to the Citadel in particular? I admit I am not inclined to bring the wrath of the Ascended community down on Halo without good reason.” But, she is willing to listen if there is a reason.
