❀ Compass Video | Locked to Seelie

[Flora is very clearly outside somewhere, and the smile she greets the network with is sunny.]

Hello everyone, I am Lady Flora, one of your Marchionesses of the White Citadel! But just "Flora" is fine.

We're in the midst of a lot of training right now, and I'd very much appreciate your input on some exercises, specifically features for obstacle courses or training constructs. Anything from easy to borderline-if-not-actually-lethal is fine! Rings of fire, pits of barbs, vine traps, swarms of durable killer bees...I won't say the sky's the limit, but there are a lot of things we can do, here!

[Her voice is still rather calm, not rushed at all, but it's just a little higher with excitement. At any rate, she looks entirely too happy to be talking about death traps. But then she would be]

If you fly too, that will not be a problem. As for constructs, I can grow or make all sorts of enemies to practise fighting against. I'll modify or mix it up, of course, otherwise everyone would know what to expect from them. I am also personally available for sparring or training. If you have any questions about anything at all, please do not hesitate to ask them!

[Something explodes rather loudly off-screen, and blue, shimmering smoke blows behind her. Her chin tilts as her eyes track something up, up, up...up.

Up.

She adjusts her glasses and looks back to her compass with a bright and sunny smile.]

That will be all! Thank you very much.

[Her eyes once again flicker upward before the feed cuts out.

(ooc edit: Hark, a long ass post.)]

I brought them to Kirei's orphanage from Leathann.

[He has so much trouble saying that. His Serbian tongue hates all of those vowels.]

[showmeyourwreath]

Kirei will take good care of them.

[Whether or not he'll preach to them about the goodness of the void, though, she's not sure, and isn't certain it's her place to stop him.]

I visit that orphanage myself, the care of children is very important to me, especially since I have my own.

[vengeance_driven]

You have your own?

Are they here?

[He legitimately sounds worried, because he has seen terrible, terrible things happen to children in wartime. He almost hopes they aren't, but at the same time knows that it probably would hurt anyone to be away from their family. It certainly does him.]

[showmeyourwreath]

[Hearing the worry in his voice, Flora's already calm voice grows more gentle.]

They were born here, actually, so things are a little different for them and me.

[vengeance_driven]

Congratulations, then. I guess this place works good for you.

[But still.]

I have seen pretty bad things happen to children during the war, maybe is the same of all war. Maybe I worry too much.

[Niko always worries too much. And is a cynic. He's generally intolerable for those unfortunate attributes; but he does care about innocent people in his awkward "occasional murder spree of his enemies" kind of way.]

[showmeyourwreath]

I'm not certain anyone can worry too much during wartime.

[She does worry about them so much. So many dryads have already been killed, and by such hateful people, ones that she doubt would have any compulsions against harming children.]

[vengeance_driven]

That's true. It was pretty shitty. I started fighting when I was thirteen, so that says something of what children are asked to do.

What happens when the void comes, do you know for sure?
