Nodding in agreement, Wessex wants to believe that Morgan can keep Halo neutral, for others as well as for her own, purely selfish reasons. “You aren’t the only one who wants neutrality. I’ve heard from many over the past year that they don’t want war, that they don’t want to fight, that they don’t want to choose. Not wanting to do these things won’t stop the war, but - what if you make every effort to make Halo into a safe place for those people for when the inevitable comes?” Beginning to shake her head slightly, Wessex can already see a flaw in her idea, but perhaps the seed of brilliance is there.
“Aurelia, in Torchline, might be a good person to reach out to. She’s told me that she only wants to protect. Frey and Rae are the most neutral of the Gods, if you need to do a quest. Eirachi is always there, and Tanau, too.” And the Voice, of course, but that probably goes without saying. Pausing for a moment, the General turns back to the events of the past few weeks - the coup - and the reclamation.
“And your people have to know the dirty details. The threats to remove you by force and have you exiled, like a criminal. Why you used the dragon shift - a show of force to prevent bloodshed. Things like that. Remind them how much you’ve done for Halo already.” By now, Wessex is leaning forward too, her encouragement carrying her beyond her chair. “That is, if you haven’t already done some of those things.”
