"Why would it matter to you?" she asked suspiciously

*It just does not seem fair to execute him because of little mistake he made.* Tymitha responded calmly. She hoped her facade was enough to convince Haven that she wasnt lying. Tymitha has always been good at tricking people, but she wasnt sure how to handle it with Haven.

"I dont know, I know you dont trust me, and Jove never makes a mistake."

*Everyone makes mistakes. You dont have to believe that, but its true.* Tymitha responded.

"I believe it, but not in jove. He has not made a mistake like that in ten years...." she mumbled suspiciously once again. She took a bite of her apple then asked, "So where have you been these twenty or so years I have been looking for you?"

*Ive been in many places, mostly in the East.* Tymitha explained. *Though most of the time Ive just been wandering around.*

"If you don't mind me asking, where in the east did you linger the most?"

"Mostly in forests that I never knew the names of." she responded.

She nodded."So, I have an other question. By what you have seen, if I were to give you my place as ruler, what would your first acts be?"

Tymitha thought about this for a bit. "I would improve the defenses. At least from what I've seen, the only thing stopping people from getting in here is the portal, but a shifter with bad intentions can still get through, so I'd station guards at each gate."
