Pardon me, I was speaking generally, but I don't think it holds with this. I don't think keeping secrets when lives are at stake is acceptable in the least. If either--if any one of the monarchs of either court knew or at least suspected something would happen, then they should have said something.
[Her voice hardens as she goes, but it's not him she's taking issue with, but the situation. ]
...Maybe they didn't or didn't anticipate this would happen. [She sounds like she wants to believe that, but can't, not entirely.]
Some may shrug, walk and forget as you say, because they're used to dealing with and fighting against monsters and strange creatures if not everyday then close enough to it to make little difference. It's not so much that they forget, but that this is normal for them.
I haven't forgotten. I don't like these circumstances and I don't like not knowing. And honestly, beings of shadow tend to be among the most tenacious. The ones that were around may have died, but more may come, who can say?
[She waits, then quietly adds.]
Truthfully, I...don't like that they showed up after the stars fell, when light was removed from the world. Maybe their appearance isn't the result of that, maybe their timing was completely incidental. I can't say without research.
[Flora dips her head though, her voice soft and sincerely apologetic.]
But, I am sorry for what happened to you and your horse.
