Isla take your medicine "No, not Ascended." The Prince smiles and shakes his head. "I was just a man, like everyone else. And I don't believe I am an Ascended now... but a companion to one, certainly." The smile this time is directed to Isla, who considers Sam's points with a gentle nod.

We are on the back foot, it feels, compared to a lot of the Old God follows. But I think if we continue to make the Hollowed Grounds into a place worth defending, that's something." A fortress, almost. At least that's how she's come to look at the place. Indeed, sometimes she believes it might be better if the barrier were to come back up, for their protection this time.
