A fateful reunion

[Ramke]

Chills ran down Ambre's spine as she witnessed Augustin go through a swift mood change, followed by sarcasm that would have made a Bretonian proud. She had only realised later what he implied earlier in the conversation, and thought hard on how to recycle the situation.

"Look.. I don't know what I'll be doing. Or how long. Or whether I'll survive. I feel like that's the same for you, and all of us." she replied, keeping her serious tone. She could feel his disappointment from the other end of the table, and his smile only reinforced that. Mirroring the man on the opposite end of the table, she took a sip of the wine glass, the luxurious taste of the wine causing nostalgia and remembering the simpler, older times.

"If you truly want to come along, I'm not going to keep you from doing that. But it will be working with Bretonians.. people you hate, and people who hate you. It's no way of living." she continued, a giving a reaffirming gaze at Augustin.

"If you want to do something else, say so. Returning to the Kingdom isn't an option as there is no Kingdom left, but the rest of Sirius is there. It could be worth looking into. We've had one expedition to the Omicrons to crack open the Vault, and we worked with some "Core" organisation during that process. Maybe you could check them out, or some other allies, in the meantime? It could be a way to get out for us both, and my family."
