And so with his confirmation, she announces her information, a sly smile crossing her face with the result of what had happened, how they had opened it. And he seems to ask her how they’d managed it, a tilt to her head as the smile is replaced by contemplation. “Well, the voice called us to come help her. And when we got there, the tree was alight in electricity.” A light frown crosses her face at this next part.
“We had to kill the tree.” Uncertain how he would take it, she looks away from the direction of where Deimos is, head angling as if she could see disappointment underneath it. But there were mountains, and she wonders if given the chance, if he would do the same as her. She has more information though, mentioning that Zariah is there, and she nods in agreement to Deimos as he mentions it’s a shame. “It is a shame.” She offers, shoulders rising and falling in a small shrug.
“She helped us open it on her side, I think.” Recalling what the Voice had said, the questions that Wessex had asked.
