Cerulean Cape and hast thou slain the jabberwock?

Her black eyes glittered when Huā mentioned familiarity with Wraen. "Wraen's great," Sugar remarked, the sentiment simple but vehement. She smiled fondly as she thought of her previous leader, though the look slipped from her face when the woman went on to mention Rusalka, calling it a terrible pack.

She blinked as she turned this information over in her mind. What had they done? Did Huā know Raleska? Was Raleska one of these purportedly terrible wolves? Sugar was skeptical, after spending plenty of time with her lately. But if she wasn't, did that mean they taking her back to a horrible place? She remained silent for a long beat, pondering all of this. She almost missed the mention of the isle just visible over Huā's pale shoulder.

Blinking back to a focus, Sugar said, "Is an Empress like a Soveign? Are you the leader?" she wondered, feeling even more honored to make Huā's acquaintance. "Would you tell me what Yuèlóng is like? What's it like living on an island?" she wondered in the next breath, filing away the tidbit about Rusalka in the back of her mind for now.
