[ She herself does risk quite a lot even suggesting it. A conversation, however, is not the end of the world. Father wants loyalty, but how can they be loyal if one of them is hurting? At risk? Lyney will spend almost 5 more months away from his family... and Lynette's known her whole life what family means to him. Lynette grabs her teacup and flips it upside down over the napkin. With a quick lift – the napkin was gone and the teacup empty. She holds it out to him. ]
Ta-da. Please, take this. If Lyney is allowed anything, it may be a nice gift. If not, you're free to add it to your collection. This is my "Lucky Cup", but one of many.
[ However, even as Wriothesley eats and sits with her – she doesn't see an enemy like she's told to. She does love Father, trusts Father but... ]
... Father is not a terrible person. The city looked at us differently for some time after it was revealed where the House of the Hearth's allegiance resided. The Fatui.... Father, their goals are simply different than what many would consider acceptable. [ Even now, she defends the Fatui. ] I suppose just as you ended up in your position, we ended up in ours due to our choices. It does not make us bad people. Just... Lyney is far more sensitive about how others view him.
[ Views their family. ]
When the world spends your entire life telling you you're worthless... that you are a mistake – the children of the House find comfort in someone who tells them anything is possible.
[ Lynette talks more than she had in recent times, but Wriothesley knows she can be a conversationalist when she wants to be. ]
