I'll leave my love hidden in the sun
The man was more reticent than usual today, and while it was frustrating Seren was not about to blame him for it. She went over the options in her mind, and admitted that Deimos - and Noah too, perhaps, though to a lesser extent - did not have much to choose from. The Sword was still exiled from Torchline, unable to set foot in Stormbreak, unwelcome in the Grounds... and whether or not the Fae would accept him in the Greatwood was difficult to say.
"You can't stay in the Wilds forever," she remarked, a little absent minded as she ruled out other options. "It seems you will need to gather up some allies and reclaim Halo, General." The fix was that easy, and that hard. But still... they had conquered a nation once. Who was to say they couldn't do it again?
As for her own task? Seren offered Deimos a smile, a little grim and plenty determined. "I don't see that anything about it has changed. I'd need to talk to father about it, of course, but I never intended to ask Morgan's permission to run the expedition anyway. My conversation with Ru about it was a politeness - I'd like to see anyone attempting to stop it now." Even should anyone know about it, which she doubted, the task had never been dubbed safe and simple. "Though I suppose we'll have to do something to diguise your presence, now. I'd rather not have soldiers snooping about, looking for rebels." Raising a brow in a teasing manner, it was a half-hearted attempt at best to bring some levity into the conversation.
Gods, but it was a hilarious situation, if you thought about it. Right back where they started, over a season ago.
