'A privilege to meet you, King Maverick and Queen Epiphron.' The male she did not know began, and a gracious smile was offered as she dipped her head lightly. Though she had missed the initial part of the conversation, Sephiroth filled her in quickly. War was on the horizon, but how soon? It seemed no one was sure. And not just that, but Gideon had been taken prisoner -- something that would certainly not upset her as much as it should have. The thought of her sister's polygamous mate being held captive was actually a bit of a relief, but that was not something she would confess to even Maverick. But she would never truly wish her sister to be unhappy. But the real reason for their visit was not just to deliver the news; but to ask for help, if it was needed. Epiphron would be more than happy to take in refugees. In fact, she would quite gladly take in visitors, war or otherwise. With a glance at Maverick, she nodded readily, agreeing obviously. "That wouldn't be a problem at all," she agreed, her gaze composed -- despite the worry that welled inside her chest. Obsidian spoke up, saying there were only a few that might need shelter. As well as Syrinx's children... The horse didn't seem impressed, and quietly she nudged Maverick. "The last time I visited Valhalla, Chrysanthe told me of of Syrinx and Eos' children." It was a subject she hadn't been totally comfortable bringing up to her husband, since she knew her brother and husband weren't exactly the best of friends. But then again, it had been nearly a year since they had even seen one another -- and it seemed they had all matured a bit since them. "I haven't met them myself, but they are more than welcome here." Her attention was redirected to Obsidian, her words certain. No matter what anyone thought of the children, born of incest; she would not tolerate them being treated any differently than her own children. Though the thought of Eos left a bitter taste in her mouth, loyalty was engrained in her, and she would never do anything to hurt family. Even if her. As she and Maverick had yet to talk about whether they would be comfortable sending any of their warriors to help, and so it was a topic she would be silent on for now. |
