ISLA
"Oh, I see. The Core must have had more important plans for you, then. You ought to be proud," Isla says jokingly, though it's true enough. She might not have ever met their goddess's other(?) half, but she knows enough to know something like this is a Big Deal. "I will have to make a list of things to ask her, the next time I go to visit her." Not one to ask too much at once, though, Isla will wait until their current machinations for the Spire have worked out first.
She manages a smile for Bastien as they both seem to realise how negative their conversation has turned; Isla wonders if it wasn't worth getting some wine or tea just for the illusion of hospitality to perk things up a bit. "Well, I'll be hosting something shortly about the Spire's defence system anyway. So it might be worth using that meeting to discuss this as well. It's all about the future of the Grounds, after all."
