NEPHELE
Nephele won't use the excuse of unawareness, the time has already passed and she will not insult Safrin with the gesture. "It should not have happened," she agrees instead. Wondering yet again why Alina had never turned to her sisters for help. They would have without hesitation, and instead they are now here restarting what could have been instated for years now.
When the approval is granted, with higher requirements, Nephele's shoulders fall with relief. Gratitude sweeps over her fair features. "Thank you, my lady. This second chance will not be wasted." We will prove ourselves to you, goes unsaid for sake of pride, but she thinks it with all her heart in the hopes Safrin will hear it all the same. When they return - and she is confident they will - perhaps then they can speak of further things. But for now, they must prove themselves worthy of Safrin's time and power.

you don't see us, and so we are everywhere
and we will rise up
as red as the dawn
