Amalia
don't make a shadow of yourself, always shutting out the light
Amalia inhales sharply at Delah's ashen face, her demand for how and who bigger, more difficult questions than the girl knows how to answer. Shaking her head, the girl tries to format a response that makes some sense. There are too many faces from that night, too many emotions, too much fear. "Outlanders," she replies, bitterness in her alto voice... though to be fair, that is not strictly true. "And Naturals, too. Roana, and Maea, and others I didn't know... they didn't listen when we told them not to breach it. And they... they tried to kill everything inside, except the Voice." The only thing in there that truly deserved to die.
The charitable thing to say is that they were trying there best. But Amalia has not been feeling particularly charitable of late, especially following her spat with Roana, the Outlander woman inciting an anger she did not know she possessed. She is saved from falling into introspection by Delah's sudden call to action, her head jerking up (down, actually, but the effect was the same) to look at the staunch warchief, surprised but emboldened. "Okay," she agrees instantly. "But if we're going to do this, we should get help. Safrin suggested people with earth magic. I know a couple, back home..." She trails off, an open invitation for Delah to add whoever she chose to the contingent. If the Fae wanted to bring her people, Amalia would not stop her. This was their mission, now.
