With an appreciative sigh, Safrin tucked her arm closer to her body to draw her daughter against her side as they strolled through the cosmos. Few had seen the true state of the goddess when she'd returned from the depths of space, and though she'd tried to shield her daughter from the worst of it, she'd needed Seren in the immediate aftermath.
"A civil war was no place for a young demigoddess." Safrin mused softly.
Seren had, of course, borne witness to Safrin's state when she'd returned, and to the conversation, she'd had with Deimos and Ronin shortly thereafter. She'd given them her warnings, nearly drained Ronin dry, and then had been forced to flee into the stars lest she do so with the Nova's life in her pocket. None of that came close to telling the full story of how her follower's relations to her return had affected the goddess, both in terms of the ones who had sought her out, and the ones who hadn't.
"Things with your father are...different, now." Safrin said in a tight voice as she drew them to a stop. "And I worry he will take out his anger with me on you."
