Aeotha wondered if standing and telling Leironuoth no would force his hand against her. Not that the man had ever really been on her side. His agenda had always been his own, and nothing she ever said seemed to really make a difference. But there was a clear line here. As much as he was with her, he was against her when it came to Skandra. Aeotha had no information to bring Illuvatar, and Skandra made it clear that they were not returning to that. There were other more important things to deal with now. Aeotha closed her eyes and wondered if asking Lorien for guidance would really bring about anything besides a dream which meant nothing and everything at once. Would Lorien really stand aside as her children died?
After all, the High Priestess was merely a vessel. she wasn't supposed to live forever and lead forever. though Elves could, they just didn't. So Lorien was willing to sacrifice them for a greater good, wasn't she? And every Priestess and Champion before them had met the same ends.
So it wasn't exactly so unbelievable that Lorien would stand back when there was some predestined ending. But Aeotha did not want to believe her Goddess, whom she did love, would simply stand aside when the entire world was ending. What would they do then? Move on to the next? Rebuild? Aeotha closed her eyes and let out a breath. She wished it was unbelievable. She also wished there was more time to reflect and think upon it.
"And nothing for me, I suppose." Aeotha opened her eyes and looked at the both of them. Obviously she wasn't going to argue anymore, at least right now. Later, there was time for arguing later.
