you were born a leader - no throne or crown needed
Anju's smile thaws that little bit more, less stilted and more appealing on a face that would be otherwise stunning were it not for her awkward stoicism. "You're welcome. When I read your message, a little bit of hair seemed a small price to pay - it grows back, after all. Other things are not so readily replaced." Like the Mathair. How long had it taken the Fae to find and return the deity to its home?
"I am to visit and inspect the Spire in the Hollowed Grounds," she shares freely, not one for manipulations and lies. A frown plays on her lips to replace the smile, which had been present for too short a time for its rarity. "I am admittedly not looking forward to visiting it - or the Grounds in general." But she will do as she must. Whatever Ludo asks of her, she will accomplish, no matter the risk.
Sighing softly, Anju shrugs a shoulder slightly, chagrined expression edged with sheepishness. "I don't know. I am no major player in this war - I'm merely a soldier. However, Ludo is older than a mind like mine could ever conceive. Surely it will have advice for me, even if it is not something useful in terms of the war." For surely others far higher in the chain of command than Anju have already achieved that.
