When Marina approached him earlier today, Buckingham couldn't help it but feel shocked at what she requested of him. She was stepping down, leaving Bucky as the Helion of Sunhaven. Bucky knew as Warden, that one day he might replace Marina as leader, but he didn't think it'd happen so soon. He accepted the responsibility of Helion, despite the anxious feelings that began to swirl in his chest. What if he wasn't good enough for Sunhaven? What if he fucks everything up? What if he relapses into the Winter Soldier? Even though he knew Marina trusted and believed he'd lead Sunhaven just as well as her, he couldn't get rid of those thoughts completely.

He felt nervous, and as he padded through the devastated village, he tried his best to keep his expression neutral. If his worries managed to rise to the surface, it'd only be a gleam in his eyes. Silencing the thoughts for a moment, Bucky found himself standing before the fountain. Jericho, Quantum, and Marina all hosted their meetings here, Bucky will do the same- even if the fountain isn't in the same condition anymore. "Sunhaven! Gather around for an announcement!" He called out as loudly as he could, his heart beating slightly faster. "Marina stepped down from Helion today, I am Sunhaven's new leader!"

―――― At the loud call from her uncle, Fairylights squeaked as she nearly dropped the bundle rubble and debris that she was carrying, having tried to do her part to help clean up and keep herself occupied. The idea of being alone in an empty, unfinished house had not yet appealed to her, and she had some hopes that she might be able to find some furniture or objects in good condition that no one would miss admidst her cleanup. Regardless, it seemed that task was to be abandoned now that she looked to the bits of rubble dropped within the mud. Turning herself quickly, she began to carefully make her way through the territory, trying to follow the sound of Bucky's voice as she approached carefully. It was then that he caught her attention, her ears perking as her steps slowly came to a still as she paused some feet away from where Bucky was now making his annoucnement. The nice lady Marina wasn't leading them anymore? She'd really have to listen to whatever her uncle said now? It was still odd to call Bucky her uncle as it was, but now to consider him, a man she didn't know, as a leader? Though, she supposed she didn't really know Marina all that well either. She swallowed uneasily, but she nodded her understanding all the same. Helion Buckingham. "Understood," she acknowledged in a whisper.
