REXANNA
Her terrible attempt at a hug is actually understood, and she relaxes when he agrees – holding her gently as she wraps her arms around him. She might be upset, but she can forgive. It’s her biggest flaw at the end of the day. She always tries to find the best in people, especially those close to her. And Samuel? He was close to her now. Even if his plan over this LongNight had nearly gotten her killed, she forgives him. With a few demands tossed into the mix.
And he agrees with her that it might be true, a light smile crossing her face gently at the implication he offers next. “It’s hard.” She says quietly, shoulders rising and falling in a light shrug. “But sometimes… There’s those that you just need to not worry about their opinions or frustrations. You need to look out for yourself.” A brief pause as she contemplates, knowing that Samuel is a Natural, perhaps it might hit a bit stronger. “Frey told me that before I was cursed.”
His comment next about the kindness the Ascended can show versus what the Voice wishes to deal with, is something she understands. It’s something she’s tried to come to terms with over and over again. And with a heavy sigh, she agrees with a bob of her head. “They’ll kill us?” She ends it sharply, abruptly, because she too has thought those thoughts. If her information recently of Roana is any indication. “I think Wessex may have tried to, but perhaps we all need to get together to talk to her about it.” A light frown crosses her face. “We can’t set her free if we’re all dead, after all. Certainly she realizes this.”
