{Fray}Fray watches her pack scatter like crows to a
feast, and she chuckles to herself. She’s glad to see that none of them glance
back to see if she approves; she’s relieved they’ve lightened up, finally, even
on the run and under extreme pressure. In a darker timeline, without her to
mother them, the Damn Shames are, to this day, a flaccid arm of the Navy with a
stick up their collective ass. But in this reality, Fray’s aggressive push for
them to have some fucking fun once in a while has worked. They don’t really
need her to say it anymore.She’s grateful they ask her to say it anyway.
It’s stupid, but she is.And, now that the chicks have fled the nest,
she gets a moment to herself. Which is something Freyja Sintre has never taken
for granted.The Regent stands still, hands on hips,
rotating only her shoulders and head as she absorbs the Spyglass Cavern with
her own two eyes. She knows what everything is—she’s been here before, though
never physically. On wallscreen walkthroughs, the Spyglass is stunning. In
person, it’s breath-stealing, heart-stopping.
