Boreal tilted her head at Fangorn's antics, making a rumbling chirrup of curiosity as she tried to follow the rock on its dizzying spin around the little gourd.

"That's... somethin' I'm still workin' out, I guess," he admitted reluctantly. "The Ascended haven't done Halo many favors. Frey has, though. And one of my sisters is Attuned." He scowled up at the ceiling. "Mostly I just want the chance to punch Neron in his stupid smug face. An' I'm more likely to get that by helpin' out the Old Gods." Some wars were, admittedly, smaller than others.
