I know it's true that visions are seldom what they seem
It's true what the girl says, nowhere is truly safe. It's partly why she scoffs at the Courts because they like to stay in their fantasy world and live in luxury. In reality, the true intention of the world and its creatures are unknown. The deities they worship are very much unknown. For Lucinda, she would rather embrace the chaos and not hide away like a coward.
For Elena, maybe in some way she's the same. She does not cower like most would in Lu and Abraxia's prescence. While this has disappointed the pair that their moment of fun has been lost, it's not entirely a loss. It can still go in Lu's favor with Elena knowing Anandi.
"Anandi is," she starts to say, thinking of how she can hide the details. "An old friend and we have much catching up to do." She hides her wickedness with a smile more innocent although she may as well be cackling in her mind. But, Lu isn't entirely wrong. She does want to catch up with the woman, just not exactly in a friendly way.
Of course the other kelpie spends time in the capital. It certainly solidifies the rumors that led her here in that Anandi is not only a member of a Court, but one of higher importance. The only reason that would be moderately acceptable in Lucinda's mind is if she's working as a spy of some sort. That is the only time she could see herself doing the same thing, especially if there's something in it for her in the end.
Still, there is so much irony in this.
And, not only does Elena know her, but she offers to help Lu find her if they travel back together. Yes, this is all working perfectly, she says to Abraxia through their telepathy. The dragon, who still stands farther from the two mares, looks at her closely. There is a similar glint in the creature's eye to that of Lucinda's. After all, they are bonded for a reason.
"I would love to, thank you," she answers with a dip of her head. There is still that hunger inside her, but she holds it back for now. All of that energy must be saved for when she does find Anandi again and it'll all be worth it.
"So are you a citizen of the Dusk Court? How do you know Anandi?" she asks Elena while joining the mare by her side. Abraxia gets up to follow and walks behind them. She'll likely take to the air once they get somewhere that's more out in the open. For now, Lu will exchange in small talk and if anything important comes up, she'll save it away for later in case it becomes useful.
