we need to chat

Anxious tension rippled through Delphi's chest as she fought back the tears. Hoping no one had heard the outburst from the tunnels behind her, she moves quickly. She hopes to seek out a specific someone that might shed some light. Doing her best to inhale deeply, fighting off the urge to start hyperventilating, Delphi barely saw where she was going. The inner tunnels and pathways of the mountain were etched into her mind. She need no map nor light to find her way. It wouldn't take long until her paw was knocking upon the doorway that led into Ember's guest rooms.

"Ember, we-I need to speak with you," Delphi says through tightened throat and choked words. Keeping her chin up and eyes half-closed to battle the emotions, she steps inside. Once far enough in that others outside of the room couldn't hear her, she slumps onto the closest fur and covers her face with her paws. Though she could have gone to one of her siblings, it was Ember she needed to speak with. Everything was crumbling and Delphi felt the Hallows diplomat and her newfound friend would be the best one to seek advice from.
