[ hand still at her shoulder, he leans down, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. ]

I'll rally the troops. Do what you can - but we'll do whatever we have to on our end. Winter's taught me that we take care of our own.

[azuta]

[ . . . she accepts this, but there's something a little bit more cautious in her gaze.]

... Winter would make me most proud if they will be able to function even without a figurehead.

Remember that.

[ as he pulls back, heading towards the door, he looks at her one last time. ]

... yeah. We'll make you proud, Iris. But don't wait up for us - if you can tear her apart before we can get to the end, we'll be all the more relieved.

[azuta]

[ . . . . . she closes her eyes at that and just manages a soft.]

... I've been trying, but I don't think any of you are going to like my efforts.

Go on - talk to the others. I'll likely be here if and when you need me. And if I'm not, you're resourceful enough that I'm not worried.

[winter will manage, with or without her.]

but drastic times call for drastic measures, and kon takes a deep breath. ]

See you soon, Iris. [ bye time to go stir up the disarray of winters ]
