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.

If she is alive, I'll find her and bring her to safety. I swear it.

[ she sounds distressed more than angry, though there's anger there, too. surely she could not have traveled with aindrea, protected aindrea in the vampire's grief, only for this to happen the moment she turned away. ]

[boutant]

Thank you. There's- a few of her Kin are at Spire 3. And Mandli and I will head back there, when this is over.

[survivra]

When this is finished I will go there. I'd like to see him. And Aindrea's kin should know...

[ one way or another. ]

Well. Let me know if there's news until then. After that I want to find that soldier who led the attacks.

[boutant]

Of course. Contact me on the lockets, I'll let you know if we're there.

[ She nods. ]

It's Katsa, right? Did- did you recognize any of the Seelie who attacked?

audio;

[survivra]

No, and I'm glad I didn't. I don't know... what I would have done. Besides their leader, there's only one I saw who put up enough of a fight for me to note before my blade could find him, a man who fought with water at his control. Is there one in particular you're wondering if anyone saw?

audio;

[boutant]

No- I know who wasn't there, at least in part, which... helps.

[ haha seelie friends :'| ]

Just... curious, I guess. You never know who you could've seen on the network talking about flowers or something only for them to do this, you know?

audio;

[survivra]

[ she snorts her laughter, but... understands. completely. ]

Well, those I saw at Caer Scima should be glad if I never see them talking about flowers anywhere. They won't have time to be talking for much longer.

[boutant]

I think Saber would like to know if you recognize any of them, in the future. I know I would.

[ A pause. ]

And if you need a place to stay for a while, or for longer- the third spire's open. Really. I think Brennan would like the company of another of Morla's wolves.

[survivra]

Thank you, truly. Liam will arrive before me since there are some places I need to travel quickly, alone; take care of him until I can join you.

[boutant]

Of course. [ Brennan whines a bit from her side, then snuffs at the locket. His own 'thank you'. ]
