you wouldn't even recognize me anymore
not that you knew me back then
“Really?” she questions, making something short of a surprised pikachu face. It filters down to something more like regret tinged with sadness. “That’s a shame.” And she means it, too. In another life, the two women would have been great allies, she thinks, and besides, the Warchief was someone she understood. Wessex always knew where she stood with Delah, even if that place was riddled with little divots of scorn and singed grass from her fiery glare.
Whomever has taken her place is an unknown, and that’s dangerous. “It was before LongNight. I only just recently learned of it. So if his attacker and the box person are the same thing, they’ve had ample time to plan. Probably since the beginning of Deepfrost, if not earlier.” Which… doesn’t mean shit. Or help them in any way, but it is more or less disturbing that no one had picked up on it until now.
Leaning against the back of the chair, the Wraith shakes her head at his inquiry. There’s nothing to hide right now - she is an open book. “Amun and I snuck in for Fiat Lux last year. Didn’t do anything other than look wistfully at the others and exchange gifts. Then there was the fiery luxere debacle that I wasn’t thinking about and tried to help with -” inclining her head a bit, she acknowledges that misstep. “ - but they reinforced that stupid decision and I quickly left.” An honest, forgetful mistake, and it didn’t kill anyway - unlike other, recent mistakes that others have seemingly been forgiven for. Naive or not.
“Other than that, every new Ascended is strongly warned not to go into the Greatwood. I don’t know of anything else.” That she’d even admitted the Fiat Lux trespassing is hopefully enough to demonstrate her continued honesty.
“Do you think this could be a Ludo thing?” Even if Remi doesn’t appear to know about it?
