these violent delights have violent ends
Delah gives no indication that she is aware of Arduinna's presence, though to think she is somehow not would be a folly. Instead her hardened stare remains on Ronin as he speaks, her expression one of cool and distant boredom. "I have heard whispers of another king, raised and struck down within a day or so. And a queen, one that the last had all but tried to kill only a few weeks prior." Raising a brow, Delah merely shook her head. "Shall I bother learning your name Ronin Taliesin? Or will the notice of your ascension be struck out just as quickly?" All this to suggest how very little the fae warleader thought of the political situation of the Grounders.
Much as she is loathe to look upon Amalia now, Delah indeed does. Vi, a plan? To save the wood and Safrin? It makes sense. "So we have seen in the stars." The warchief agrees curtly. Not in so many words of course, but hope has never left the skies, and so it never left the forest either.
Pulling in a breath long enough to make her nostrils flare, Delah bites the inside of her cheek with feline teeth. "Your monsters shall not make their way into our wood. LongNight in the Greatwood is a time of rest, of sober consideration for the year ahead." Would the lowering of the barrier once again prove fatal for the Wood? Would the Grounders continue to ruin the Fae's way of life simply by existing?
