It wasn't anything Rogue could have imagined, and she hated the reaction she was having to the news. A new if old hive, possibly full of allies, would be wonderful for the alliance. A potential new queen this soon would be incredible for everyone, especially if she chose Todd. But if she chose Todd...

She stayed behind while the others left the room, watching Todd from where she was until everyone had gone. When it was just the two of them, she slowly crossed the room, arms still tight around herself, and stopped when she was a few feet away from him.

"This could be good news, right?" she asked quietly, trying not to let on how much she didn't want this to be happening. Because it was wrong to feel that way, and she refused to let it effect her actions in any way. This was her home, yes, but she had to be willing to do what was best. What was right. Even if it hurt her.
