it's fine to fake it 'till you make it
The way a meteorologist might read and predict the severity of a stormcloud, so too does Safrin read the Huntsman without the need to delve into his mind. Her gaze trickles across his face like a soft rain, and though her eyes don't move to look beneath the water, her hands instantly move to cover the fists he makes beneath the waves.
Trying to part his closed fingers, Safrin shakes her head. "She did not. The margins were not even close." This in itself is nothing that concerns Safrin; both Hadama and Harper were followers of hers and far less rash than the Doubletake. However, the fact that no one seemed to care at all about the Huntsman's influence was a worry.
"She had other reasons for coming to see me." Maligning Harper and asking for poison chief among them. "But she did want to make me aware just how little weight your name now carries in Torchline." Safrin continues, weightless in the water despite the weighty implications of her words. "I could correct their views on you having abandoned Stormbreak, as that was on my order...but Stormbreak stands rulerless, while you and Remi remain in the mountains where almost no one can reach out. Those are facts that are not mere misinterpretations. "

'till you do. 'till it's true.
