Duskfire Glacier i know that i was wrong

last post from me <3

he ignores whatever tension they express at his and queenie's presence, at their probing question, at whatever judgements they might have (well-deservedly). all that matters is the answer: no. frustration rises in him -- he bites it down, casting his eyes to the ground as he nods. "i see," delight says softly, "thank you anyway." 

there is no use in lingering -- he's not here to be diplomatic. nudging queenie's shoulder gently, the chancellor says, "if you do see them -- i hope you can send them home to us." of course he has not yet realised the sanctuary is on the move and so even if they did materialize at the glacier, takiyok and her wolves would be unable to actually locate them. but in the moment it's one of very few hopes he has. 

with a final resigned nod, delight departs with queenie, loosely back in the direction of the sanctuary.
