Efphion had watched the man enter their court. She had trailed him since the moment he stepped foot inside the city housed in Soleterra. A place she no longer visited, it had been reduced to a ghost town beneath Raum's rule. Yet, she did not hate him, not yet. Effy lived apart from her home here, she had a hunt to complete. Then she would deal with matters here. She would not fight a war that did not belong to her, she had no ties here yet. The man spilled berries upon the ground at his feet as he passed out fruit to the starving masses. Efphion had only heard of what her new King looked like, though they had never stood in the same space together. She knew what he had taken from Seraphina.
It had been tearing across Novus like wildfire. Efphion watched as the stag stood and waited. He seemed to be waiting for something or someone. It didn't take her long to draw herself towards the man who she assumed was her King. Someone who she had never seen, but his words confirmed her suspicions. Efphion was not a scholar like Noctiilucent, but she was clever and observant. Effy drew herself to a halt somewhere on the invisible line that separated the two men. Raum, she only knew by name, spoke and demanded of the other man what he was doing feeding the Solterran people. Effy studied the pair, as though she were a fly on the wall that towered above them. The heat of the sun lingered in the metal that laced her neck.
"And alone." Effy added onto the words spoken by the Solterran king. It was her way of sharing the information she'd collected on him so far. She would not speak her name to the king unless he asked, and as for Ipomoea, who Raum seemed to know. He would get no such privilege. Efphion did not support the starvation of her new people, but she also did not feel for them the same way she would feel for her kin in Reth. With a sudden motion, she reached and struck out with her leg to knock the basket from Ipomoea's grasp.
"Speech"
@Raum @Ipomoea
