REXANNA
She’s not sure what kind of connection Jigano thinks she has with the Voice. But it’s not the one he’s assuming. The Voice doesn’t tell her everything that is in regards to the world around them – but neither does Safrin, neither does Ludo, and Frey certainly doesn’t. It comes back to one of their previous arguments, along the lines of not needing to know until necessity arrives. “She doesn’t tell us everything, Jigano.” A flat admission. “I did not know about the Portals.” She offers – at least not the ones within the Hollowed Grounds… Just the one in the tree, but she doesn’t dare mention it.
At the mention of Kiada, however, she listens. “She might have thought it would have ruined the quest had she not brought those who Ludo specified.” shoulders rise and fall in a shrug. She can recall the girl’s father well enough to know he did things much the same. And the thought brings a frown to her face.
But Sam? She listens to what he says, nodding along. “I think that Kiada’s right, that it might end up trying to make it so they don’t need to only come out through LongNight. Obviously they go somewhere, but it wouldn’t answer the question when I asked.” Because she had asked, where they went when the sun rose again.
“Kiada is smart. She’s been through so much, that I think she will make the right decision.” She offers unhelpfully. But if there’s one thing she knows, it’s that the girl had plenty of experience in these regards, and she hopes that she doesn’t make the same mistakes as before.
