the stories i could tell
The Voice pauses thoughtfully for a moment as she considers Wessex's offer. "Perhaps, but we would need more than that." It would be an easy enough RQ for the Grounds, should they want to limit themselves. "Though perhaps banning all demigods might be more effective." Harder of course. And was there time? "Think on it."
Looking to Varus, the Voice merely shrugs. "Then tell him you needed it to protect her. The world is a dangerous place after all." And it would continue to be dangerous. Why shouldn't the soldier need to go through 3, maybe even 4 bites? "From what I have seen, the Lullaby hasn't failed to fall in love with those who bite him more than once or twice. Perhaps that too might be to our advantage." Varus was his type after all. If Isla wouldn't be the one to use her position with him to his detriment, one of her oldest soldiers would certainly.
"And traded amongst yourselves, a group of manticores might truly make him understand what he is up against."
