Aonghas listened to Wessex with a look of quiet scrutiny on his face. A quick summary of what would clearly have been far more nuanced events – events that didn’t particularly paint the Ascended in a good light either. Speaking of peace and then listing the number of deaths under her command in the same breath didn’t exactly do her cause any favours. Then no call for questioning or clearing up what she had said. It wasn’t reassuring.
A single person had directly given their own name forward only to be immediately shot down with fair reasoning and scepticism. The follow-up suggestion of a council seemed like a good idea in theory, but as Evie had said, there wasn’t much point to discussing that now. That would involve much more prep.
It was messy as this kind of thing tended to be and not everyone was going to be pleased with the result. So Aonghas quietly folded his paper and cast his vote.
