in the right heaven-yellow light, anything could be
holy enough to save you
Start small and branch from there, she imagines is the easiest place to begin. A brief timeline of events that happened to get the ball rolling, allowing Maea the time to adjust and understand. And as the mention of the blight comes around, Rexanna’s soft contemplative smile shifts toward a frown. “The blight was a disease accidentally spread by the Ascended to the Greatwood.” She begins to explain, no way to shift the blame or make it any easier – just the cold truths regardless of what kind of light it puts them in. “And it began to infect the people in… Animalistic ways. Vi gave us flowers to plant to try and cure the afflicted, but it wasn’t until a Fae named Arduinna stepped in that it was fully stopped.” Her frown deepens, knowing Jigano could likely fill in the rest easier than she could – biases aside.But soon enough among the explanations, she pauses once more to let Maea ask questions. And this question in particular is one that she doesn’t quite expect. It brings a slight smile back to her face before she shakes her head. “It’s easier than my first kingdom, so far at least.” She explains before her emerald gaze lifts to the pale woman’s face. “A lot of responsibility, as per usual. But it wasn’t a job I asked for or wanted, just… Had prior experience and people thought I might be good at it.” Her shoulders rise and fall in a shrug. “So here I am.” Here she is, indeed.
