Mountains, one way or another, but something else seems to tug on Rexanna’s thoughts. “We won’t be able to get into the Greatwood again, I don’t think after this.

But without eyes? She needs to get that figured out before attempting anything portal related. She sighs lightly, a nod. “We’ve just dug our graves deeper.” She replies uncharacteristically pessimistic before she leans back against her own chair and tilts her head back so her eye-less eyes face the ceiling.
“We want people to befriend us, to think of us like people because we are… But it’s hard when we go and do these things. The blight, especially, since we didn’t know.” She frowns, arms pulling her legs in closer to her. “I’m glad I have you.” A quiet admission though she can’t see him to see how he’ll take it. He hadn’t particularly judged her at any point, not like Jigano had when she had told her she’d Ascended.
