The Sunspire all is almost lost and it starts to show

When Terance finally appeared, it was right in her path.  Treason's scowl deepened further, but before she could make a snide remark, Wraen had started talking.  She turned away from him to get a better look at her as the other beta spoke.

By forgetting her they'd already proven how much she was actually worth to them.  As if they'd let her put her plans to action -- it seemed unlikely that Wraen would ever show her favor either.  Look at her!  Trying to seem so superior to them all but all Treason could hear was the woman overstepping her bounds.  Rannoch let her babble away far more than Treason ever would have, like a child trying to prove themselves and ending up sounding like a spoiled prefect unfit for the position.  Why had they even promoted her?  Nepotism instead of worth?

Rannoch's turn to speak.  She listened, but was getting impatient.  He looked to her.  No, leave her be.  She had nothing to add and shook her head before trying to turn and walk away, brushing past Terance without a word or thought.  Treason giving a voice to things would just end badly.  It was better to lie low and find alternate plans before making things clear.
