[Mini Event] Greet Your Queen

KIADA curl your hands into fists, and sharpen your nails. There is so much happening while the Harpy listens and watches, her stomach panging with each and every concern brought up — listening keenly as the woman before them, their Queen stomps them down. She gives painted words, things to fill the air rather than address the problem. She sneers slightly when Zariah responds to Jigano, and when Ronin begins to speak, her eyes shift toward the man. But then others pipe up and Kiada, for a moment, has nothing to say. Nothing, that is, until Zariah speaks as though there were only her world and the Naturals; when certainly some of them had come from places where the leadership had worked, hadn’t been argued against as much as this, and it’s only starting. She inhales a deep breath and after Eli speaks She pauses momentarily before setting her eyes on the woman. “You pretend as though there’s only Northhaven and Hollowed Grounds.” She begins, stepping forward slightly and raising her head toward the monarch. “There are many of us that have come from other lands where the leadership has worked without so much discourse from those being governed, even when it began.” For a moment she recalls the Rift and a unanimous vote to have leaders. She takes a moment to survey the crown before her, each and every one of those belonging to it. “We had diverse cabinets, ones that spoke for everyone for our crowns to make a decision, so that those that are native and foreign each have a voice. I look at your cabinet now and see no diversity, only the same. How can you say you have all of our best interests at heart when you’re only speaking from the experience of your own world?” She asks, arms folding against her chest. “Ruling is about compromise, you cannot please everyone, we all know that. We ask to be represented.” She finishes, stepping back to glance at Rexanna before she looks back at the monarch to see what she has to say. the next time a man tells you to smile, show him bloodstained teeth.
