REXANNA
Her head lowers as he tells her what she knows, in a show of sorrow. But at the idea of mountains? Is she really that upset? They had given the Fae a chance. The tree had been alive, been a portal, been a part of it all, intertwined. And while Rexanna isn’t proud of having a hand in it, she had only destroyed the tree and nearly died for it as well. And this tone that Jigano is giving her while he explains it, only adds to her show of sorrow, biting down on her lip as her unseeing eyes focus on the floor. “That’s terrible.” She offers quietly, but says nothing else on what had occurred there that day.
He doesn’t need to know.
“I went there to plant flowers with Deimos, and went to ensure they were still planted when Melita attacked me.” She adds, a light frown finding her lips. “Is there any idea why the Voice might have wanted it?” She wants to know what he knows, to see if he knows it’s a portal, to see if he knows what it could become. Salvation.
But she tells him that the board isn’t hers to give, and he shakes his head, flexing his fingers in his quiet apology, only able to nod to it. “She didn’t bring anyone else?” A quiet question. “It’s… LongNight and terrible out there. She might have Ludo’s blessing with it, but I’m sure you know how it is out there.” A moment recalled of opening the Rathskeller doors for Jigano and Rory comes to mind before it passes with a sigh that crinkles and crunches something quietly within her, though she pretends not to notice.
“I absolutely need to have a talk with Sam soon.” Her tone takes a hint of annoyance as she turns her head away from the bard again, frown finding her lips. “If it wants upgrades, I can’t imagine it’s for anything good. They tried to take ours. I could feel them vibrating inside me as though they would tear them out then and there.” 'And instead, I got a beam through my chest.'
They can agree on one thing, however, there’s still so much they don’t know.
