yinuo gave a small shrug. "then it's worth going through them again." he sighed, pulling the top one from the stack and letting it thud gently to the tabletop below.
he nodded along to vivian's words as he opened the book, scanning the index and the first couple of pages. "i know," he sighed again. "i truly don't think this was Ffigoria's doing." maybe he felt more allegiance to his home country than he should have, but it honestly didn't feel like something they would do. the council had spent years arguing over whether or not to bring the empire into the spotlight—now they suddenly do, without any prior warning? no, something else was afoot. "that begs the question, however—if not frigoria, then who?"
at vivian's latter words, his eyes flicked up to her for a moment before returning to the pages of the tome. he hesitated for a moment, before offering a small shrug. "truthfully? i have no idea. i've been so focused on these...eaters that i haven't really had time to look into it." a subtle lie, a half-truth. just something to shake her from his tail.
INDEED, if not the big bad wolf Frigoria, then who. the fuck. was it? Not knowing annoyed her. Not being the loop of things had terrified her. She was the ruler of rot, she had known when things existed in her vicinity... & this? This fucking thing has not trace!
how can it not have a trace?
"Well, we've all been focusing on these eaters, but I'd reckon someone should be looking into the whole sibling thing. As far as we know, it could just be smoke & mirrors, but where's there's smoke, there's usually fire as well." Vivian sighed, "Divide & conquer, shall we? I can tackle the whole... eating thing, you can look into the siblings?"
