#silnaedit

the hunter gestures to lady silence. crozier immediately reddens. of course lady silence has a name. she just never offered it. silna. this woman’s name has been silna all along.

crozier is realizing he is not the hero of this story, but its antagonist. a profound unrest is beginning for him, a debt he will need to make right somehow. crozier looks at silna, who discreetly and very firmly shakes her head: tell him nothing. she is protecting him, even now.

THE TERROR ▸ 1.10 we are gone

THE TERROR ▸ 1.10 we are gone

lady silence stands, stopped by the sight of goodsir’s body lying out on the table in camp, carved up for meat. she can only stare at the image, trying to comprehend it. it’s emblematic of the profound wastefulness of this expedition, which by now must seem to her both tragic, and inevitable. she says to him what she needs to in her head and moves on. there is a man who could still live, and who needs her help.

she looks at him, amazed his first thoughts are of his men, his men who chained him up, who murdered goodsir

THE TERROR ▸ 1.10 we are gone

lady silence watches crozier go to each of the dead bodies here to check who it is, and close their eyes.
