Hushed Willows And I hope that you'll remember me,

I listen. She answered softly. Orlaith was proving all her points, thus she sighed. This was going no where and it would continue to go no where as long as Orlaith felt so angry. But how to calm her down - stand there and take the beating? Wait till tears started spilling and the seams became undone? Dante was much better at comforting, at least in her eyes.

I expect patience, professionalism. You lack both, even now as you stand here screaming at me. She spoke calmly, with a stern expression. She was doing playing sweet - this blow-up wasn't funny anymore. She'd seen all she had to to know Orlaith would never rule beside her. If this was how she talked to her leader without even being an equal, the thing she wanted, then Lumi didn't want to imagine how bad it would get if she were to be made queen.

What are you going to do? She asked then, unworried.
