you are such a soft and messy thing, nobody knows how to take care of you
A wry grin tilts one corner of Ru's face. "As external threats grew, alliances became more common, it's true. Such is the unifying power of a greater peril. But in the beginning, yes, it was quite rare." And admittedly Hotaru probably isn't the right person to defend the idea that humans are inherently flawed and all that. She had never been truly bothered by war and the conquering of lands, had forced enough people to their knees by her own hand to no longer care about fairness.
Though perhaps it is time - or age - that has tempered the Valkyrie, because now she leans forward with an interested ear, keen on helping the Guardian however she can. Call it paying back a debt or proving herself as an individual. Or maybe it's merely an excuse to see the Fae again, to foster this friendship she has declared an intent for. "Enzo is an Abandoned, and Deimos a hybrid. Both would be happy to help I'm sure." Enzo for no reason other than the fun of cutting his hair, Deimos with the understanding of the Greatwood's desire to defend themselves against the Ascended. "I will see how soon I can get those to you. Is the Treehouse the best place to find you?"
