audio | unseelie locked | february 7th, post-destruction of caer scima.

[boutant]

[ She would use the video function but there's blood everywhere -- on her hands, her mouth, her chin. There will be more, if she has her way. Her voice is tight with barely concealed emotion -- rage, worry. Next to her comes the low sounds of a wolf who seems to be in pain; poor Brennan had felt it when Caer Scima was attacked, his howl having split across the battlefield like a clap of thunder. ]

If you can be spared or have the capacity, go put out the fires in La Llorona. Caer Scima's destroyed, if you haven't already heard the news. Any refugees can head for the third spire, if they need a place to go. I'd offer my manor as well, but you'll have to get through the burning forest to get there. Still, if you can, it's open to you.

[ A hissed breath. ]

Let me know if you're out of there. And- if anyone knows if a vampire named Aindrea got out of Caer Scima, please tell me.

Oh, and if you still think this war doesn't involve you, is something you can avoid? You're an idiot.

Rest while you can, m'lady.

[boutant]

It's going to be a little difficult to rest when the forest is burning.

[notyetlegend]

At least try. You're not goin' to be able to help anyone if you're asleep on your feet.

[She was going to say dead on her feet, but all things considered,,,]

[boutant]

Yeah.

[ And Brennan needs her. If nothing else, she can't leave the wolf right now. ]

Are you somewhere safe?

[notyetlegend]

I left Scima an' went back south-west. I'll be away from everythin', an' even if I wasn't, I was left with protection.

[boutant]

If you see any refugees... you'll help them, right? I don't know how many people even got out.

[notyetlegend]

Aye, of course. I'm just as much of a refugee at this point as any other Unseelie.

[There's a pause.]

I'm not sure if I can offer them refuge where I am but I can at least herd them to Redgate.

[boutant]

Redgate's a long way.

[notyetlegend]

It doesn't matter, I'll lead them there myself.

[boutant]

Don't get yourself killed, Merida. Please.

[notyetlegend]

I'm always careful, aren't I?

[LIVING WITH SEELIE AND SEELIE SOLDIERS ASIDE]

[boutant]

[ do you want her to answer that merida you turned your mother into a bear ]

I'll worry either way.
