Re: Vengeance or Reconciliation? (Termite)
Alex had nothing to say. She had nothing to say. The mage knew more about her own creations than the warrior ever would, so what could Alex possibly add?
So the woman simply kept her silence. And then she let it linger. She kept her peace while Mirabel spoke of true Fallen, breaking it only when she she needed to give the obvious answer to the lady's question, and throughout the revelation and the questions that both Ria and Aes shared that silence reigned supreme. It was only once it became uncomfortable that Alex chose to unfold the arms she crossed as she pondered whatever ordeal her brother had to endure. "I may not know a true Fallen, but I have known cruelty." And she left it at that. There was absolutely no need to go further. She had no desire to reveal the secret past she shared with Akorvick, and there was no need to involve this woman with that kind of burden when they all faced a possible death in four days.
Whether Magus Mirabel chose to pursue Alex was her concern. The dragoness had absolutely no intention of going any further. "I can't forgive what was done, but I can accept it." And unless the woman had anything more to say then Alex would move on to something else. "Considering all that's happened between Akorvick and everyone here I don't think any of us are willing to accept a bed within the tower." That should have been painfully obvious. "If you would please excuse us we need to make arrangements at the inn." That would be the Magus's final chance. Unless she had something further to catch the half-dragon's interest then Alex was done.
Once the trio had finally been let outside Alex would keep that silence going. It would take some time to walk out of the mercenary camp, and the dragon's daughter would keep an eye out for anyone looking to follow the eclectic group. It was only once they were away from any prying eyes or ears that she would finally speak. "Aes, did you catch it?" She was referring to that look that Turoc smothered while Alex had been talking, and if her angel asked then she would explain. "I'm not being foolish when I say we'll need to speak with him once this is finished, am I?" She knew she still had to confirm it, but that could be easily done the next time she met Roko. Right now she simply wanted her Mate's thoughts on what she learned.
