REXANNA
i was born with a knife in one hand
It was definitely a learning experience, and from the way he speaks she wonders if perhaps it was the last time he had been captured. A rebellious heart, venomous voice, a promise and a threat of violence for those who deigned to take what wasn’t theirs. And she watches as he recollects that they had the Basin, that it was always home, and she nods in agreement. The Penumbra would always consider the mountains her home, her place for truly living, and he had made that possible for her.
Her gaze levels on him from the trinket she had made and she contemplates the best way to answer. “I was put into a cage and brought to Halyven to watch them burn my city, my castle. Only, a cannon went rogue, and I took the chance while the guards were stunned to break out and vanish among the chaos.” She tells him with a small smile. She didn’t know if it had worked, didn’t think it was going to until it had. “I was almost captured again, but the day they nearly caught me I fell into here a year ago now.” She gives him a slight nod and smile, raising the trinket to him to see if he recalls.
The day they had both arrived, both slipped into the Rathskeller a fury and mix of confusion and loss.
But her brows lift in mock surprise as he mentions they had wreaked more havoc, she couldn’t imagine it any other way. There was a score to settle, and she knew as well as anyone that to make a name for yourself you had to do things you wouldn’t normally in the name of vengeance and showing your strength. But her brows furrow as he mentions they began to steal children.
Such innocence, and for a moment she considers Kianzo — another lost, stolen child. “What did you do then?” She asks in quiet surprise.
