we're all stories unfinished and we die to find some fitting words to write
It’s true, it was only a small exaggeration; her demigod is a chronic over-thinker.
She has a lot to digest, so Wessex stands with a slight frown on her face (resting thinking face) for a while after the Voice finishes, trying to decide what might be the best thing to do given… everything. And what she keeps coming back too, the one thing that keeps tugging on her heartstrings, is the thought of Mabel alone in Stormbreak. Knowing how the girl died the first time is more than enough to make the self-styled Older Sister's gut clench in guilt. “Mabel first, then. I can’t leave her there,” the Wraith says with a small shake of her head. “Not if she's weak and potentially in danger.” What kind of leader would she be if she simply left her - again?
After that? Even with all this knowledge freely given, it feels like only three of those are both important and doable. Relics still remain at the forefront of her mind, along with the Flowerbirth deity and the book... and the book would take more time - but there's an idea brewing for that, too. “Bastien said the Core told him about the Peepholes. Was that its relic? The one in the Sea of Glass was Safrin’s. So… do you have one?”
