her comment earns a good natured eye roll and a defensive "i've been in mourning," although it's probably true the old man's passing doesn't weigh as heavily on most of his pack as it does on him and the rochesters. not for the first time, he thinks, what a shame. but what can be done about it?

delight clicks his teeth at her question, shaking his head a little. "nathaniel," he answers, surprised they haven't run into each other -- then again, the older rochester had been glued to burke's side before his death and now seems tied to mona's. "we do?" he asks, raising an eyebrow at her assertion. sure, it'd be nice, but they hardly have enemies or even rivals knocking down their door. "preparing for a war i don't know about?" delight teases, honestly not taking it very seriously given the circumstances.
