"Even if that's true, even if they doubted the Stormcallers,"
She pressed,
"Why come to us? What do they need from us?"
And as that question settled into the hall…
Morvain… hesitated, not able to answer at the moment.
And as her silence stretched long enough, the Commander of the Watch narrowed his eyes.
"Matriarch,"
He called out in his usual deep voice that was now laced with… suspicion.
"Why aren't you answering my question?
What is the plan?
What are we going to do about all this?
I am sure you have given it some thought, have you not?"
The Commander asked, his eyes piercing into Morvain's as if he were going to force the answer out of her even if she didn't directly say anything, and Morvain…
She took a long breath and began pressing her temple before heaving another sigh of… defeat.
This was it.
She… she could no longer delay the answer anymore because… she knew this was happening better than anyone.
"The Stonefangs,"
She said slowly,
"Will ally with us."
