Never forget what you are
for surely the world will not.
Deepfrost was not the time for anything like this to happen. She could not send anyone outside to rebuild except for small things. Homes with minimal damage could be repaired. Korbin could lead a group to retrieve supplies from the rubble of the Palace. But proper rebuilding would need to wait, particularly given that Halo had just lost two of the handful of people capable of surviving in the cold. Honestly, maybe while Neron and Zariah were stuck here with them anyway, she would put them to work. They could help rebuild under the watchful eye of the guards.”And you may, in private,” she agrees, a slightly amused gleam in her eyes. She does not need to remind her brother that he does not get to ignore her in public. In the end, though she respected his opinion, she was Warden (that is really weird). It would not do to have her cabinet undermining her authority in front of others. She trusts he understands this.
The topic turns instead to what she wants of him, and she nods. ”The daily running of Halo. While I am busy playing at politics,” she drags on the word slightly, already annoyed by all the talking, ”you get to make sure things continue smoothly. I expect us to talk every morning and you to tell me what’s on the agenda for that day, what I should be paying attention to, what you need me to deal with or vice versa.” She pauses, giving him a minute, because she is asking a lot of him. ”I am basically giving you permission to butt your nose in everyone’s business, but don’t be an overbearing ass about it or I will demote you.” Which isn’t an empty threat, and he should know it.
She nods, Korbin echoing her own thoughts about Neron and Zariah. ”I am pretty sure Morgan will not tolerate Neron, and there must be others who agree. Even if I do not technically exile him, I do not think I can stop any Halovian from doing as they please should he return.” Can’t, because she is not fool enough to think that people of Halo would listen to her unquestioningly.
make it your strength
Then it can never be your weakness.
