{SE} do you have a moment?

WESSEX

Wessex has to duck her head at the very logical and quite frankly, very astute analysis Lilliane offers about her family’s behavior. “That’s… very smart.” A faint smile appears as she raises her head again, note quite chagrined, but well aware of the lesson learned. “I didn’t think about that. I’m not…” Oh, what is the word she’s looking for? “Great at understanding why something other than what I see is logical and smart is done.”

And when it comes to war and fighting and strategy, she’s had some blinders on.

“So what do you do you want to do with your life here?” the General asks with a gently curious head tilt. She makes the assumption that there will be a life for Lilliane to live, despite the impending storm clouds. It’s implied that there will be a future, for what might only be obvious to Wessex - that she likes this Outlander, and would like to see more of her - nay, would like to see her thrive.

No, I’ll be the stone
I’ll be the hunter, a tower that casts the shade
I lie awake and watch it all
