how can you rise
if you have not burned?
She hates to tell him not to go to Torchline, but really, she has no choice right now. There might be a day to try and make Remi see some reason, but she wasn’t likely to push that subject. It was not really worth the potential fallout. ”Good. I prefer you alive.” She does not doubt that Remi would try to kill him, and sometimes no matter your magic or shifts or skills, Vi is not on your side.Suddenly though it is his turn to give her a pep talk, and she just glares at him in return. ”Damn you for being right.” She could not let doubt creep in now. There was no room for it. She had to be the Warden without question. She had to be The Scythe.
She’d really rather just kiss him than think about all the things they needed to be doing. Kiss him, take a damn bath (ideally together), and get whatever sleep they can manage. Yet as he asks how he can help, she looks at him, still pressed close. ”For now, your job. Your medical supplies may or may not be salvageable, and I don’t know what else in Snowcloak has survived. We need you more than ever. Besides that, I intend to talk to Neron soon and see if he is still willing to help Halo. We need people who can be outside to rebuild the Palace and Snowcloak, which leaves a lot of work for you, Morgan and me, unless we wait till Flowerbirth, which I don’t love. We could use your brother’s help. I don’t know that I trust Zariah enough to give her the same offer.”
