Each day that goes by that we're waiting for something to happen is each day the Void gets closer to all of us. We lost all last month to fight against it due to the Black Shuck's orders, and now we're left scrambling to make up that lost time. Isn't that a bit too convenient for those who would have us die against our will, to squander the little time we've left?

I can't shake the feeling there's something more that's happening than we're being told, and more we ought to be doing than simply preparing. The least we could do for now is try to figure out what that is. If you've no experience with self-defense, then I can help with that; and if you have that, or at least some experience in finding your way through the woods without getting lost and setting off warning signs wherever you walk, then I suppose I'm your lieutenant, if you wish to scout our borders.

Either way we know something is stirring, and we'd better be prepared for it.

[ Right now Katsa fights for the Unseelie because fighting the Seelie and the Void aligns with what she thinks is right, and they have the same goals. But she doesn't fight out of loyalty or devotion to the cause itself. She's fighting for people. ]

The strangest part is that I can imagine doing such a thing, for the few months I could hold fire in my hands without being burned.

[ She thinks about this for a moment longer. It wouldn't be theft to take what Elizabeth offers; rather it could be another rebuke or refusal if Katsa turns down yet another one, one could hurt her again. Perhaps it would even send a message that Katsa does not trust Elizabeth's power, and that is wrong. Refusing the gift would be wrong, Katsa decides. And she relaxes. ]

I would accept it, then, from you, and carry it with me always.

( Elizabeth also fights for people; namely, those she loves or is bound to by blood. Including Richard the Lionheart, and Saber. The Red Hand, spearheaded by Diarmuid is perhaps the most 'official' sort of alliance she had made with any faction. Otherwise she does a good job of putting on the appearance of being a true Unseelie at heart, to mask just where her true loyalties lay. )

I well believe it. But you have seen my magic at work several times already, Katsa. Would that it protect you, even if I am not at your side.

( She waits long moments before Katsa finally decides to accept her gift. Relief floods through her like a massive incoming swell from the ocean, and she beams at her. )

As I will carry you in my heart. Expect it to arrive within the next day or so.
