she slept with wolves without fear
She’s actually a bit surprised when the Queen Illuminate herself shows up. Of course, she doesn’t recognize her as the queen at first - the magician had always played games with her appearance and voice when speaking to Rhynn - but with those flashy gems, ‘magical’ appearance out of thin air, and that self-indulgent tone (though the words are a bit odd for the Queen) … who else would it be?
Rhynn stays silent for a moment, glowering. After the little stunt the magician had pulled, she’d really expected her to not show up at all. What’s the point in playing a stupid little game like this? Giving out gifts in exchange for servitude, and then just reneging on the deal? Rhynn knows that many magicians enjoy screwing with ‘lesser mortals,’ but this is just ridiculous. What does the magician even gain from pulling crap like this?
She breathes deeply, tempering herself, then finally responds (though the magician surely already knows what she’s going to say, considering she took away the gift). “If that is indeed you, Queen Illuminate, you already know very well why I’m angry.” She feels so very vulnerable now, with her mind exposed for all magicians and telepaths to see. It rankles her to think that the ‘Queen’ is at this moment, likely taking advantage of the absence of the gift she had promised.
“I kept my end of the bargain.” There’s no point in keeping the anger out of her voice - the ‘Queen’ already knows it’s there. “Now I want you to keep yours.”
