CHINESE WHISPERS (CATCH-ALL PLOT)
Lillian needs to suppress a scream as she steps out of the portal and into Croydon. She snaps the portal shut behind her with more force than needed, the only thing she could do in the wake of the appointment she had with Quercus, the Oak King, and Merilineth, the Queen of the Green Wood. It was none of their concern their own subjects were being captured and enslaved? It wasn't interesting enough to intervene?
Don't they get how dangerous this is? How this could reach out beyond London if the ambitions were left unchecked? The idea of more witches being encouraged by what's happening here in London and trying to replicate it for themselves in their own lands made her stomach churn in discomfort and anger for the fae. The idea others trying to do this against their enemies in general, trying to justify this under a disguise of 'progress' and 'advancement', almost made her breathless in disgust.
For individuals who insists their goals were to keep things in balance, they-
She stays her thoughts since it wasn't right to doubt her Royals and she reminds herself that it could been much worse. They hadn't said no outright. Merely ordered her to watch over this and maybe they were right in that aspect. She couldn't sit out for too long. Not after what happened to her and the others at that centre. If she could show them London was worth looking after maybe they'll be willing to do something.
How? She isn't sure yet but she's willing to start small. Make allies, stop troubles, gather resources. There's a good place to start too-
Before Gregory left, he warned her of a string of incidents happening over at Redbridge and Waltham Forest. Some people disappearing, some people being assualted or killed in supposed muggings gone wrong. Not enough to gain attention from everyone but enough to have people whispering their concerns to their closest friends and their friends whispering it to their closest friends.
Sounds like something that could be useful. Or not. Either way she had to check it out.

[ backdated during scandal week 2017. the catch-all post for the plot regarding the string of vampire assaults! information about this post can be found here and top-levels for the mentioned events/steps to this plot can be found in here. if you'd like to have a closed thread related to this, let me know! ]

I need your help regarding the incidents over at the East End Pack's territories. [ lillian's face is red, bright and obvious, though it's hard to tell if it's from embarrassment still or from the mental exertion of gathering all her courage to request that.
what can't be denied, however, is the steely determination in her eyes and the certainty in her voice. she does her best to keep her voice low but she never wavers nor allows her voice to break. ] I know this is the work of a vampire. One who goes against everything the Nest stands for. I've seen what they've done and I wish to stop it somehow.

He moves to lean his chin in his hand, regarding her carefully for a long moment as he does.] And what do you propose to do to stop it, then?
[It intrigues him, the fact that she has gone through all this effort to have collected the information about the vampire and then brought it to him. He finds himself rather charmed, all things considered.]
