A Flit of a Moment || Nyxion
Nyx and Clarion believed that Atta was ready to perhaps handle the Hollow alone for at least the morning and that Sled was capable of performing his duties well enough to ensure her safety.
The Captain’s day off was today, and given the current situation and their preparations for the upcoming moons, she needed a little bit of a break, despite how much she didn’t want to. She supposed that if she were to have this break and Atta were able to take care of some of the duties in the morning, that she and Queen Clarion could find themselves a moment.
Nyx wasn’t unaware of the shift in their relationship. With Atta’s appearance, it meant that Queen Clarion was being phased out and would eventually retire, which left her to possibly have thoughts of things other than the Hollow that she had been entrusted with for centuries. What those things in particular were, Nyx didn’t know.
She flew into the center of the tree and with two long beats of her wings she landed gracefully on her feet. Nyx gave a small nod to Sled who beamed at her at his post near a door where she assumed Atta was inside, waiting for Clarion to emerge. At the flutter of familiar wings, Nyx bowed her head in greeting, formalities were never lost on the Scout Captain, “Queen Clarion. I am ready to escort you wherever necessary for the morning.”
