Gently taking the cup from Amun, she puts in on the nearby night stand for now, keeping an eye on him in case he shows signs of needing more fluid.
“Oh I could kill him when he’s not hiding behind Ronin, he’s just a fucking asshole. And he turned, like that.” Snapping her fingers, anger flares for a minute behind a pair of ice-hot eyes before dying down - she can’t do anything about him here and now and besides, there’s still about a year to catch up on. They can plot Noah’s demise later. When he can focus, instead of making his usual quips (who is she kidding, he’d make them anyway).
“Mm, something like that. There have been some… developments that make me think we might have a chance. Yes, we have access to the toss-up or we did at the time this thread started, and I think we can fight against one of the relics, if Bastien’s correct in his theory. Even the Order is… decimated a bit. Remi and Ronin are the problem.” Leaning back on her hands, Wessex looks up at the ceiling and once again relives the past month or so all too quickly.
“It’s another long story, but the short version is that the head of the Order, Cian, and this Priest, Gideon, abducted Mabel and I noticed she was missing. The Voice told me she was in Stormbreak and I can speak to a whole region now. I found her, followed Cian and Gideon to the Draig, tried to stop them, but the Voice took control of Mabel and killed Cian. Mabel then died. Gideon escaped. I stole Cian’s body and with it… this book.” Pulling a small notebook out of a pocket and holds it up. “It let’s us know when shit has happened… important events, big moves… those kinds of things. It’s how the Order was able to find shit out, and it’s how we’re going to never be surprised again.”
Unless the book stops working.
