[Regis is ranked astronomically far above her, is the source of her power, is the final determiner of the fate of her friends' homes no matter how she wants to believe differently... and so that's where she should want to leave it.
But physical discipline and marshaled thoughts are not the same. For the woman with no family, Nyx and the others are - were - what she thought family must be, annoying and insufferable and overprotective fools whose deaths she would hear no talk of, ever, because to lose them was unthinkable, even as they were ever the more certain to lose one another in this damnable war.
It reaches through the telepathic void as brotherhood, as rolling her eyes at Nyx's cautions when he himself defined incautious, as screaming his name when he charged back into the fray against orders.]
We're here to protect the city and the crown, but that'd be useless if we didn't protect each other too.
[Passing over the thought of talking to Princess Lunafreya because it's about as unlikely as talking to King Regis was (before right now) and it didn't work out well the first time.]
