Queen glanced toward Fadran. "You said you needed my powers to bring her back? Now would be a great time to explain why, and quickly. I don't think I would do very well at fighting off Winter if he shows up. I still don't know my powers very well, and I really don't want Winter getting into my head, which he probably could do with ease." She turned back to Fox. "We will get you back."
Queen had noticed the small surge of guilt that had flashed across Fox's face, and guessed the cause. She had seen Nath's wounds and recognized Fox's handiwork, but knew from Fox and Nath's interactions that it must not have been completely Fox's fault. Queen searched quickly for something to say to try to ease the remorse.
"You know," she said, laughing gently, "I don't think we would have been able to find you without Nath. Of course, I'm no expert on Fadran's powers--heck, I'm not even close to an expert on my own powers! But," she glanced toward Fadran, "I'm pretty sure he has to have a Spirit Bond with someone in order to track them. He didn't forge one with you, at least that I know of, but he does have one with Nath." Queen smiled at Fox, a comforting turn of the lips. "Your bond with Nath must be really strong if Fadran was able to find you through it. I'm not completely certain of what happened in Winter's mindscape earlier. I have some idea, but not much definitive. I'm not about to ask you about it, I can tell that it's too soon.
"However, I can also tell that, whatever happened, you and Nath bonded because of it, for better or worse. Your bond is certainly useful, but only you can decide if it was worth the hardships. If you decide that it was, there's no use dwelling on worries and regrets. It happened, and that's that. If not...there's still no use focusing on the bad things. As far as I know, none of us have time travel powers, and even if we did, it would become really tedious to keep writing the same scene over and over again." Queen shook her head in confusion. What the heck was that sentence? Writing? Scene?! "I mean, experiencing the same thing over and over. So, either way, you need to move on from whatever may have happened. That's some advice from myself that I need to follow, too." Queen forced herself not to let her eyes flicker over to Fadran, focusing on Fox.
"Now, let's get out of here. Whatever way Fadran plans to get us out."
