[ she doesn't answer until later. there's an impromptu audience with Morla to be had. her rage turned to bitterness, and when she answers there's no whimsy Loki, no one willing to crack a joke, just bright eyes that unmistakably inhuman.

No one conducts a surprise attack when conditions are better for your enemies. [ there's a little bit of dryness to it. ] What had befallen on us would have befallen on you. Misery loves company, but the extent would seem excessive.
Your anger is better here, now. [ her expression softens somewhat. ] Thanks.
We're still alive. [ she sounds a bit tired, but her voice is still haughty. ] And I don't plan on giving in any time soon.
There is a cultist that has stolen Ariadne's memories and her face, the Queen's familiars is dead and Diasbaile is left vulnerable. Outside the Void closes in on us, and Morla wilts away.
I need to get stronger still. What changed about me is a start, but the rest is up for me to decide. [And he will make it happen. Jason isn't dying, one way or another. He isn't.]
But there's a good chance that might not be a fight we can handle. They've been toying with us for months.
Trying to pull some threads and see where they lead. I've asked Nico if he can tell me about the Cult's behavior with the Seelie side. That might help us paint a better picture. [With everyone being so private, it seems like something they might need to know.]
Not a whole lot of doing there, but I'm a detective. [is that the first time he's telling Loki that? Well, surprise!] Trained by the best. Time to make good on it.

What do you plan to do otherwise?

Do see what you can find out about shards during all that thread pulling.
Ah, speaking of that ... Your shard—have you activated it yet, Mister Detective?
