how they armor themselves for you

Safrin

"Merely keep her in our name." Safrin says with a shake of her head. "The ascended will likely not be pleased, nor will whoever is still loyal to Morgan. But so long as Halo remains pledged to the Old Gods, all will be well." It mattered little that Hotaru was in charge, or that Noah—a Frey follower—ruled alongside her. So long as they pledged themselves on the right side of things, Safrin would take whatever victories she could get.

Especially in the wake of such a monumental loss.

"Go, explore the skies anew. Add your own touches of light to my starry skies, and keep Halo safe. I take it you will be her defender once again now that Morgan is gone?"
