FINN
and into the forest i go,
The wine arrives, sweet and red as blood, and it's true that Finn doesn't lift his glass to cheers Cian's, though it rings out a tone of celebration nonetheless. He sips his drink, watches Artemide for a moment more, and lowers his gaze again just after Cian directs his own out to sea. They miss each other at intervals, and he finds himself curiously glad about that fact. "Optimism hasn't had much of a place in my life thus far," he says slowly, swirling the wine in the glass.
The barb delivered is smooth and perfectly aimed, striking true into Finn - undoubtedly as Cian intended. But the Spyglass has grown more armour since his last meeting with the Eye; since blue silk and hospital beds and a body ravaged by sickness and strife. "Forgive me, but I wasn't aware that your orders came above those of Safrin or the other heralds." Finn nods up at the owl sitting above them.
"That is Artemide. She was put under my care by the lady of the stars. And she delivered us to your office in time to find you unconscious - you are very welcome, by the way - and showed me that very subtle tome of yours. I believe it is creatively called tHe pLaN." He finally fixes stormy eyes on Cian. "As soon as you enlighten someone as to your orders or lack thereof, I will be happy to follow or refuse accordingly."
