[ROXANNE R.]

Roxanne could not recall Elsweyr within battle aside from possibly over in Tanglewood when the captain had gone over to send a rescue raid and even if Els had been in the Condemned raid, Rox had only been concentrated on Ninazu and Stryker around that time. The day she had killed Ninazu that had been a glorious one even if that made her serpent of a mate want to kill her in that moment, Rox had somehow lived. Regardless, the captain noticed how Keona and Roan eventually made their way over to the gate so the draconic feline was not far along as she glanced up at her trophy not minding that it smelled but it was preserved after what she had done to it. Sure, it was probably disrespectful or whatever but that wouldn't be enough to make her take it down. Roxanne wanted all of the Condemned to look upon the gate with the face of a snake that had finally been vanquished by her daughter even if said pirate princess did not remember the incident. Rox would keep it there to remind everyone else of the girl who had stopped slavery but the reign of terror that Stryker had attempted to do.

Roxanne knew that Elsweyr was trying to keep a uncaring demeanor but it was clear that she was struggling with the decapitated head being there, a toothy grin forming on her maw as the captain began to speak "What's the issue?" Her whiskers twitched momentarily as she sat down beside Roan with both of her mismatched eyes being fixated on the Shadow Regent of Tanglewood, her fluffy tail lashing to the sides momentarily before coming to rest in front of her forepaws. As a mother, Roxanne could definitely understand the feeling of when a child decided to runaway. The thought of it made her heart begin to ache but she did not know of Elsweyr's business of being here just yet so she'd wait.
