Summary
Lho'a looks surprised to see Alisaie come into the room, which is altogether backwards, because it’s hers. Their mother may have welcomed them back to Sharlayan with open arms, but as Alphi said, it would be wise to secure alternate accommodations. Alisaie agreed, even if the phrasing her sister used irked her, and now they both avail themselves of the Annex’s plentiful empty beds. Which brings her back to the viera sitting on hers, looking shaken and annoyed by turn, dressed only in a set of revealing robes he’d chosen to survive Thavnair’s ever present humidity.
Carbuncle sits in Lho’a’s lap, the summon looking perfectly at home with his hands running over its back. A nervous tic, he’d once said, the construct’s aether soothing him when nothing else would.

Summary
When the anguished scream tears through the camp, Alisaie wishes she could be surprised.
It’s a few bells after Lucelle returned to them – truly returned, as herself and not as a sick joke perpetuated by a monster. The Scions are scattered among the Ilsabard Contingent, resting and checking over supplies one last time before they push into the capitol proper. Alisaie was watching G’raha drill alongside a paladin from the Ul’dah detachment and waves them both off when they turn towards the source of the cry. This isn’t a job for anyone but her.

Summary
Harrow kept her eyes on the horizon. "Do I disappoint you, honored wife?"
Gideon was starting to think that 'honored wife' was a placeholder for 'fucking asshole' or something similar. "Not at all. I think more girls should aspire to be gremlins when they grow up."
[God has been absent for centuries and BoE conquers the Houses. To solidify their claim, they have the daughter of Commander Wake marry one of the House officials.]

The woman cants a curious head and has the audacity to grin, “Funny way of saying thank you.”
“I’ll give no thanks to a Selûnite!”
“Ah,” The woman taps the side of her nose and nods to some silent thing not spoken, “you picked up on that quickly. Congrats to your dark mistress for raising such a gifted war dog.”
