“No,” Wessex admits with a shake of her head. Without the same kind of numbers they’d never be - but that, too, was in the works. Maybe, hopefully. If only she could clone herself and do all the work at once. “But I’m not sure what else to call that door. It’s targeted. Unexpected. Deadly.” She’s distracted by a clenched fist around a knitting needle and wonders if the girl is capable of thrusting it through someone’s eye - but no, that’s too much to ask of anyone but herself.
“Would you have me do something different?” It’s by no means a challenge, but she is curious to find out how this young mind works. The Wraith knows the value of waiting for the right time, but she also knows the value of taking an opportunity when it presents itself. There are ways, she thinks - justifications - but then all war is one shoddy justification of shitty actions, isn’t it?
It sucks for everyone, though she imagines this one would be different because they don’t have a home to attack. They’re spread out, which makes them both vulnerable and strong. “How do you mean?” Wessex asks in a request for clarification. She looks a little confused at the question. All the former queen can think about is that the people didn’t want her before. What obligation does she have to them now, unless they profess themselves friendly towards the Ascended?
