can you hear the sabers rattling
Was she entirely surprised to see Aithniel make the summon, no, she wasn't if she was honest with herself. She had watched the challenge, or rather, been at one of the sites when it had gone down. It wasn't too hard to judge by those who had sent their companions to watch in their stead, by their faces, who had won — the summons merely confirmed it.
She approached in her usual manner, head held high and her face filled with curiosity and inquistiveness. The events of the days prior had caused one hell of a commotion that would have to be smoothed over and worked upon in the days which followed — something the Guardian would watch with a keen eye. Atreus settled on her rump as she stilled a respectable distance away from the demi-god. "Hail, Sultana." She offered in a polite greeting as the vulture on her back trilled his own greeting to her and the companion who rested on her back as well.
Aithniel didn't bother to sugar her words, she simply got on with it. While she didn't exactly like the first come, first serve attitude some of the ranks were receiving,were they really in a position where they could be picky? She supposed filling them up and then letting them be weeded out by time and their own selves would ensure those who remained were fit to the task. It was all they could do really, watch and see what happened now and who got what.
"If there is anything else you need, or require attention paid to, please don't hesitate to call upon me, Sultana." She added after Aithniel had finished her speech, she was eager, fit and healthy once more. She had proven at least, that she had the grit — and the balls — to step up and stand out, that she had determination and the heart of her people firmly planted within herself. Be damned that she would wither and let her fire be snuffed out now.
