“I didn’t think I was either.” She trills in an almost singsong tone before shaking her head. She wouldn’t force him into it – it wasn’t a kind of thing you could force anyway. But the offers there, if he’s interested, to see what it’s like. But at the mention of Lucas and Edrei, both participants in Lily’s magic room, both gone too soon. And while Lucas had a thing or two to learn, she wanted to be the one to end him if it came to it. Not some ridiculous tree-portal-thing.
Instead, she nods to him in answer. “Yeah.” She admits, frowning lightly. But she thinks of Samuel, and his quiet yet determined answer to the call, and she tilts her head just enough to glance at the summoner with Samuel’s words ringing in her ears. “I think us Ascended might need some help avoiding the heat of that ordeal.” Because gods, they already weren’t trusted enough.

As he mentioned that Bastien and her got their happy ending, she smiles lightly at that comment. “Oh, I wasn’t even finished yet.” She jests with a wink, leaning toward him slightly as though she’s telling a secret. “He suggested we try out dating, because neither of us were really good with it. And I agreed. Then, when Zariah was queen, he made a slight scene at the Notice Board about the sign ups, and she had him thrown in jail.” Which had started the entire thing of Rexanna working for Zariah, but he already knew that. “And the first time we told each other we loved one another was when I visited him in the jail.” She says with a light hum of amusement. As though they both had been afraid of what it meant.
