With a glance to the world outside the grotto and then down at her filthy self, Wessex grimaces. “I guess I ought to get going. Thank you for coming to me.” Dallying here, as much as she might want to, won’t do anyone any good. “Though - one more question, if you’ll allow?” If she’s denied, the Wraith will simply nod in understanding - for her Lady does look weary and the morning stretches on. If she’s allowed, the Wraith will hesitate for the briefest of breaths before inquiring, “What - or who is the Core? Why is it considered a New God?”
Wessex had been there at the Spire’s Opening, but 108’s sacrifice and what she’d seen the Core do are still lost on her.
