Were they as connected to the Family as the omnipresent voices in their heads? Capable of spying and reporting back? "Which means any of my ideas are meaningless if someone other than Sohalia is in charge of her location." He can make extremely well-educated guesses on Sohalia's patterns and preferences, but a stranger? A magical, godlike enemy with unclear goals? He's lost at sea. always being led
Maybe that's why he reaches a hand out, palm open to her and eyes desperate. "Lena, please. Just consider it for a moment? You rejected her. We don't know how fickle she is, whether she'll risk someone with any small amount of knowledge to walk around free." Certainly not to stay in Stormbreak, with eyes and ears to pair with a confirmed lack of support. Harper fought in wars long before coming to Caido, and the hardest powers to topple were always the ones who viciously stamped out any snakes or spies.
I'm as blue as blood
before the blood runs red
before the blood runs red
