Odina returned alone and with far more stress than she'd had the whole morning leading up to her delivery of news to Cambria. She still had more bad news to deliver but for now Odina had halted her nephew from taking daughters. Causing more problems is what it would have done and she doubted she'd ever get it under control.

Entering her dwelling she offered Sigyn the weakest smile, "Thank you for waiting," Odina made for a pitcher of wine pouring a full glass, she drank about half of it and topped her cup again, "Today could have went better, I should have went to Cassian before making my address but...I couldn't let him talk me down, have you heard anything yet? Rumors? Death threats?...wine?"

Sigyn got up from her chair when Odina entered. She watched as her girlfriend poured herself wine and topped off her glass again. Quick drinking definitely indicated stress, stress she felt herself as well.

"There was not enough time for that. What you did was correct." She reached for Odina's cup to take a sip of the wine as well. "The Cambrians don't know any better. They think that the news you delivered is the truth, although the ones who share my dislike of Nevermere are a bit suspicious, because they can't imagine Cassian agreeing to it. The Nevermerean soldiers feel that something isn't right, but they didn't say much. They're too afraid of Cassian."

She looked at Odina. "I think Wren will not support you anymore. She wasn't at the announcement. What did Cassian say?"

As Sigyn shared from her cup Odina pulled her warrior closer playing with a strap of leather on her body, "Fear and respect, they fear and respect Cassian which is something I don't have but with very few people," she then moved to touch and stroke Sigyn's strong arms, "As for Wren...what was I to do? Really? I'm surprised I haven't been stripped of my position and returned to Nevermere, she wanted us to fight and start a slaughter we wouldn't have been ready for and we need time. I will not be in this position and the reason innocents die."

The whole time she reasoned in her mind ways to avoid telling Sigyn what Cassian had told her to do, marry a man. But Sigyn had asked and either way Odina was going to tell her partner, "He's sending Lady Carter back to Nevermere and has appointed me a new advisor, Cam Petyr, the same one you confronted he will be staying here," she then looked at Sigyn with worried eyes, "I must also have to marry a Nevermeren man..."

Being close to and touched by Odina made her calm down a little, but she knew she wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep, not until every last Nevermerean had left Cambria. Was fear and respect really the way to go, if it turned you into someone like Cassian? She nodded softly, understanding of what she said about Wren. "My heart understands Wren, but my head knows you're right", she said, stroking Odina's cheek.

She then asked what Cassian had said, and it was nothing Sigyn had been prepared for. She blinked a few times and took a step back. She didn't even know what to respond to first. "A Nevermerean man?" She spit on the ground. "That will be the end of Cambria, Odina. Cambria is what it is because we freed ourselves from men." She felt the anger rise in her chest. "She didn't know Cam (yet), she would only meet him later.

She wasn't mad at Odina. She was mad at Nevermere. Odina was pretty much defenceless against Nevermere.

Odina put her wine down and reached for Sigyn hoping to take her hands and pull her back to her, she had every right to be angry and upset. If she was successful in that she'd pull Sigyn into a tight embrace resting her forehead against her love, "I know it isn't fair and I hate it just as much Sigyn, I despise him for it but it's keeping our daughters here..it's keeping me here with you...I won't love them as I do you and I told Cassian just the same," Odina just wanted Sigyn and for this she'd sacrifice a few things for her and for Cambria, "If everything goes according to plan Sigyn in a few years we'll have our army and we will have our war to truly reclaim Cambria."

Sigyn allowed Odina to pull her close. She enjoyed the feeling of the woman's embrace. She sighed softly and nodded. She would then pull back a bit.

"I love you. And trust you. You must do what you need to do in order to free Cambria once more. In a day, they'll be gone. Finally some peace of mind."

"What is your plan?" she then asked. Odina kept mentioning it, but she had yet to explain. "Do you wish to fight them, eventually?"
