A child failed in Ke-Waihu. Again, in Serthica.

Here, young Princess Cle-Florens, convinced of duty as sacrifice. We cannot abandon.

Elsewise: beware the Wards, the Gut's Bind. Death wanders.

If you have come possessed or hell-tainted, speak.

Good, so let's get her out of here. You can forgive Wei Wuxian for that blunder, you know.

He was definitely not courting a child. It would be great if everyone could stop focusing on that and making fun of the situation.

[valeas]

It would be great, as well, if you could cease making assumptions that fun is being made of the situation. Trust, there was no amusement in my need for clarification.

There is... advantage of access to the development.

Wangji suggested sending her away from Alem with the next caravan. Thoughts?

[vdovy]

So we are breaking her out. I will provide access to the royal quarters, Hermione has spells and potions to... How did you put it? Soothe her? We can lower her from the window or there is someone that can do portals but has to be convinced to help. Either way, the escape plan is coming together.

Sedate her and put her on a caravan.

[ Why is this hard? ]

[downswing]

She is guarded.

If long absent, will be sought. Retrieved.

...Why does it seem as if sacrifice is the first thought to cross everyone's mind here?

[ He figured this would come up again when Hermione mentioned it, but that was a while ago, and they're still wrestling with what to do with her? Hell is literally about to break loose. ]

You really think we have time for this?

I do.

You are proposing to steal her away from her remaining family, against her will.

[Just so we are clear.]

[vdovy]

Her remaining family forgets her existence.

She shouldn't have to sacrifice herself.

[She wishes she were the kind to believe that parents wouldn't sacrifice their own children but like......she knows that's not true.]

If her family won't save her then we'll have to

She may oppose. It may not prove salvation.

Could have stood that offer sooner, love, the possession's been handled with a bit of braiding and the young Kamala's gracious help.

What do you plan on doing with a whole princess? Marry her off to another kingdom that'll care better for her? How much of her dowry are you bringing along to manage that?

[downswing]

She need only be distant from her people until Alem's fall.


( Surely they would not sacrifice her for a war already lost............ )

Can she be convinced to leave? or might we need to be a bit more forceful?
