Skipping with permission!  they said Astraeus could be pp'd out <3

Rosalyn waited with bated breath to hear what he would reply, and the quiet word allowed the air to uncoil some from where it had been gripped in her lungs.  She would take it.  It wasn't much, and was hardly an agreement, but it was enough for now.

She couldn't resist a final word.  Perhaps a last entreaty to whatever soul he might have, something to nudge him towards civility.  In her eyes she'd been more than giving during this exchange; he'd insulted her from the start, and were she younger, this might have gone a wildly different direction.  This place deserves to be a home, not the symbol of fear they made it.  That you look to keep it.  She let her eye linger on him one final moment, and then turned to depart.

She'd pause when she'd gotten a distance away, just to ensure he did not take advantage of being left without supervision at their borders.  She was interested in no more of his words at this point; all she could hope was that the final statement stood true.  Likewise.  Only time would tell.
