[She says it bluntly; she's always regarded the fighting her own people have been eternally caught up in as something vital and necessary, a bright act of self-preservation. Although perhaps that's because her ideas about the Cohort are so bound up in her own desperate desire for freedom, the yearning ache to feel as though she's part of something bigger than a decaying old House that has all-but decimated itself in a bid to create one last, powerful necromantic heir. There has been no time or desire for self-reflection, or what she thinks about any of those old dreams anymore. Not when things had become so fraught and urgent back at Canaan House, not when they'd been ripped away from their own worlds and transplanted into something very different. But when presented with the idea of using one's strengths only for annihilation, she seems decidedly nonplussed.]
I mean, are we talking about annihilation of everything? Or just the annihilation of the enemy, whoever that might be?
