Aria stared at Phoenix for a time, not sure if she was truly willing to say anything. â€œThe Courts keep track of where their exiles are, vaguely. Faeries arenâ€™t exiled because their court wants them to be gone. If that were the case, they would be dead.â€ Her tone was without emphasis. She wasnâ€™t disturbed or had any particular feelings about this information, it was simply facts.<br/><br/>She paused for a moment, one last hesitation, but she was shaken by the loss of the Kelpie and the possibilities and necessary actions that were about to unfold. She didnâ€™t exactly trust Phoenix, but telling me the basics of it couldnâ€™t hurt. â€œI am a part of the Spring Court. I was a spy hidden in the Summer Court. I was caught and exiled to keep a political balance. I am still alive because the Spring Maid feels I could be useful in the future if I survive but canâ€™t be seen to support me. I am exiled because the Summer King would love to see me dead. None of the other Courts can help me without it begin seen as a move against Summer. Does that answer your question?â€<br/><br/><br/>{{{Hahaha. That would have almost completely changed the reply I would have written, to be sure.}}}
