WESSEX
Isla need not even ask - though it was nice of her to do so. “Of course,” Wessex readily agrees. “Any time. Always.” It’s what she’s here for.
And then something she’d been pondering on since hearing of a Voice in King’s end, and the whole Prince thing in the Underground. “When we were in the Underground, I read something down there. There was a statue of a woman named Tallulah King, and it said: In Memory of Tallulah King, Rae's Champion. May the sacrifices she made never be in vain. May her soul find rest once her work in the court is done. May she once again be reunited with her Prince.” She pauses to let that sink in.
“And then there’s King’s End. I wonder if they’re connected. And there was an acidic river down there - bad enough to do damage if you were in it for a long time, but I wonder if it might lead somewhere - if we could find a way to use it? An acid-resistant boat? There’s also an empty space with something big in it underneath King’s End - at least it frightened some compelled animals. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.”
Making a face, Wessex sighs needlessly. “That’s all I’ve got. Just bits and pieces. But I think we ought to keep that all within the family.” If catch her drift.

there was a time that we were kind, but now
