Morgan and Neron had told her everything - the way the coup had gone down, who was present, the magic at the door. It wasn’t difficult to put together, much like it hadn’t been difficult to surmise that yes, Wessex had been the one slinging chakrams around when it had all come down on their heads.
She makes no effort to comfort, a stark comparison to their last meeting - but neither does she make an effort to attack, so perhaps the Valkyrie is safe. Unable to find the words to answer, the Wraith simply nods stiffly, accepting the explanation for what it is - and what it isn’t.
Loki senses that something is deeply distressing and winds herself around her bonded’s ankles in a cat-like manner, casting a narrowed gaze on Hotaru. Wessex reaches down to gather the dragon in her arms, taking comfort in the smooth scales and the pulses of love coming from her companion. “It doesn’t have to be like this,” she says eventually. Softly.
“Halo could truly be neutral. Frey is - not like Safrin. Or Ludo. You could sit it out. Not try to kill me. Or Nate.” Wessex could stomach that. She could - she could forgive doing nothing. She could keep the two of them, and whatever is left between them, intact.
