empires fall when we move the unmovable, so tell me all of my secrets, tell me all of my lies,
Wessex mentally grimaces at the gentle rebuff, once again made aware that the Voice has a far more reaching vision that her own. She doesn’t want to fall into the same trap she’s accused Morgan of, and she doesn’t want to keep everyone from the Ground. Intentions will always be tricky, ever shifting, always justified to one’s self, so perhaps that’s too much to mess with. “Right, of course. Very good points,” she acknowledges aloud and with a slightly chastised smile, now very aware of the non-Ascended behind her.
Time to talk it out. “And trying to prevent groups from coming in would be equally pointless, they’d either come in in ones or twos, or some other small number to circumvent the rule, which they would undoubtedly find out about, because nothing stays secret here for long.” Bitter? No. Wry? Most certainly. The Queen nibbles on her bottom lip, voicing Amun’s thoughts. “I still think the Order is our biggest threat, despite the demigod’s strengths. We could try for individual protections for Grounders while they’re here, but that doesn’t stop anyone from coming in and spying or many coming in and oh, I don’t know, rounding folks up.” Is it hyperbole, the way she speaks? Perhaps, but if we’re thinking of the worst case scenario, she has to go there.
Then Belril steps up and grabs everyone's attention. The Wraith turns a surprised eye to the boy, but as it’s also time to make friends and show off the Voice’s power, she nods an assent to the interruption and looks back to the Voice, hoping his question is somewhat on topic.
