Laser beams we're about to awesome all your dreams
To say that she thinks Sam has missed the point of their Lady’s mild finger-wagging and tsking is to put it gently. What she can’t believe is how he hears everything else but that. The act of negating himself is nothing more than a cry for attention, asking for others to step up and say that he matters.
And to them, he might. To Wessex, not so much. She’s sick of his selfishness, his inability to (as she perceives it) stand up to the ones he ought to, the way he capitulates to their enemies without asking the right questions. And by Goddess, the time will come when he has to answer for those actions.
But enough of her thoughts on Sam; Wessex nods slowly in acceptance and gratitude. “Thank you, Lady” is directed towards the Voice, for allowing them the opportunity to do this again. She alone knows how much this means to Wessex. And then to the family, she says without looking back, “Leave the Grounds for LongNight and be safe elsewhere. Please.” She doesn’t want to have to worry about them and the stupidity of others. “We’ll regroup in Flowerbirth.”
Which gives her time to draw up plans, training regiments… whatever they may need.
