Dragoncrest Cliffs the sirens of titan

They gather when called to Thuringwethil. Eske turns sea blue-green gaze to the Commander as she speaks, though bulk of her words is a re-telling of what happened on the first scouting trip. Things that she knows, already. The Wanlida gives a nod of her head in acknowledgement when it is stated that she will temporarily be in command when the party is gone as Dio will accompany Heda and the others named. There is some surprise from Eske when Étoille is the first to be named upon the second scouting trip but it only proves how little Eske knows about the pale titan. Evidently, he is quite knowledgable on the layout of the Teekons. Eske catches Tirgatao’s look and turns her head to let her gaze touch upon the older woman, silently acknowledging her named role. The air feels heavy to Eske, the weight of the seemingly innocent burden she is once more given. There is always a possibility that it may go south. She does not wish to think it but …Arlo’s body and Wildfire’s continued disappearance is proof that anything can happen to anyone. Eske knows her duty and she will ensure that the instructions she’s given are followed explicitly. She will not fail her Commander and she will not fail Drageda.

She holds onto the hope though that this trip will not leave them as heavy-hearted as the first.
