AISHA
The Greatwood guy, Remi Taliesin, didn't need to answer, the warden joined the table shortly after a brief regard to the question. Still he turns to Aisha, asking for her own name, "Aisha Khai," she replied, returning his smile and leaving it there. There were more important things to be said than names and pleasantries, he got right to it, addressing the Shield and the warden.
It was easy to lose track of the growing tension when you're locked away in Halo, her brows furrowed as he spoke of the Ascended, that the gods expected some kind of assault. More Halovians joined them, all three others took their places standing, perhaps they looked intimidating from an outside perspective. That of someone who did not know Remi, of what he was capable of.
He continued explaining, assuring them that he'd assured this person and that, and finally concluding that he just wanted to protect the Greatwood. Aisha wanted to stay out of any brewing wars, she would not have any of her actions directly or inadvertently harming her friends in the grounds. But she also did not want to see the Greatwood fall, and for that reason she remained interested, turning to listen to Hotaru as she prodded and pressed for more.
Aisha waited until the woman finished before adding her own question, "Do these defenses you have in mind harm the ascended?" She recalled Longnight a couple years past, in which divine barriers had ended in the death of friends, innocents.

and it's all in the way that you talk
starts with a whisper
starts with a whisper
ends with a shout
