Lily
sing me a song of a lass that is gone
“Safrin,” Lily begins, as she kneels in a rather dogmatic way before the Temple’s shrine. “or whomever. I’m not sure who I should address.” Even though Lily has followed Safrin’s stars, lived in her ‘Church,’ she cannot boast knowledge of the deity. Even though she’s been heavily under Frey’s thrall, she did not know it was him. And Ludo? Ludo’s name has never wafted through her ears.
She makes a face at her own words. “Not even sure how to address you. Singular. Plural? Three in one?” Like the ‘blessed Trinity’ but without so much moral restriction and self-flagellation? She laughs quietly at the thought, but then catches herself and tries to remain… respectful? Solemn? Dignified? Yes, dignified, as if she is worthy of a visit. Turning the laugh into a clearing of her throat, Lily’s hands begin to fidget with her clothing ever so unconsciously. “I was hoping you might be able to clear some things up for me,” she continues, trying to get to the point. “Regarding your Church. I am not sure -” She catches herself again, and tries to phrase it correctly. “I am not sure what you stand for.” Really, Lily doesn’t even know what she stands for. Is she meant to pick someone to worship? How can there even be Gods if LongNight happenss? Shouldn’t they protect them from that sort of thing? So you see, she has a fair amount of questions. But she'll start with this one. merry of soul, she sailed on a day over the sea to Skye |

Darkness descended elegantly in the temple, leaving only the soft glow of the candles to illuminate the room. But the darkness was not to last, for a kaleidoscope of stars suddenly echoed across the ceiling as if there was a galactic shower taking place within the high-ceilinged room (minus the heat and noise, of course). In the wake of the stars Safrin appeared, glowingly softly with a cosmic radiance as she smiled warmly down upon Lily.
[say]"Singular, if you don't mind."[/say] She said with a silvery and metallic sort of laugh. [say]"I am not my counterparts. We are...part of a whole in a way, but perhaps not in the way you are thinking of it."[/say] The goddess added with a small shrug. At the mention of the church, Safrin's delicate and beautiful features hardened for a moment as she considered, her perfectly painted lips twitching as she took a breath. [say]"Ah. Do you mean the church as Bastien originally started it...or what he intends to make it into now?"[/say] She asked, the disdain clear in her bell-like tone. Even so, the hollowness seemed directed at the subject of their conversation, and not at Lily herself.

[say]"There were the beginnings of ... redecoration, you might say."[/say] The goddess replied with a gentle hum of disapproval. [say]"Perhaps it is for the best. It will certainly align more with Bastien's own personal ideals than anything to do with me."[/say]
[say]"Dead?"[/say] Safrin repeats with an immediate and amused bubble of laughter. She pauses though, considering. Not one who likes to be wrong, she takes a moment to properly consider. The 'high priest' may not wear her pendant anymore, but that does not mean he is invisible to her. No, she can sense him clearly, in the body she has placed him in. Decidedly not dead. [say]"No, he is very much alive. "[/say] She confirms with a nod. Lily's affirmation that she is here for Safrin and not the church is like honey to the goddess, and she immediately smiles like a cat offered thick cream. [say]"Well darling one, what is it you would like to know?"[/say] She asks, the vivacity of her cosmic gaze deepening as she stares with unfettered interest at Lily now.

Safrin laughs, amused and pleased by Lily's anger. She is a spiteful goddess to be sure, and in his short time here Bastien has pushed just about every obvious divine button that she has. That she has allowed him to live this long is a mercy, but perhaps his luck will run out. The goddess is apparently not the only one displeased with the artist's penchant for fickle fealty.
[say]"Stand for? Sugar you make it all sound so political."[/say] The goddess begins with a demure smile. [say]"I don't stand for anything, I just am. Though to put it into terms that you might understand, I suppose you would say I stand for life."[/say] She adds with a breezy and beautific smile. [say]"I am ... part of Vi, you might say. Vi being the God of life."[/say] Safrin clarifies. Lily has not been in Caido that long, and while it is common knowledge, it's possible the entertainer has not stumbled upon such knowledge. [say]"My followers? Very little, honestly. Merely that they might spread my name."[/say] Safrin who had cults dedicated to her in the past, rituals and sacrifices, was now content with those in the bubble merely knowing her name. The goddess' lips twisted into a knowing smile, as her galactic gaze roamed over Lily for a moment as she considered. [say]"Why me, darling? That is what you'd like to know?"[/say] She purrs, the contents of Lily's mind as readable as any book might be. [say]"Well..if you consider my counterparts...Frey has no real interest in much save for sex and procreation. And Ludo? Well ... Ludo likes to keep its plans to itself. It is a tricksy thing, and though it can be quite useful, it is rarely straightforward."[/say]

Safrin chuckles lightly. [say]"Mine? Oh no sweet one. We do not collect you as the Voice does. But I do know what you meant."[/say]
Thoughtfully the deity pauses, her head tilting slightly. [say]"In a manner of speaking, no. We all work together after all. Life is nothing without creation or death. In that way while we are not all the same, we do exist together harmoniously..."[/say] At this, her lips twist into a smile as she thinks of Ludo and Frey, her shoulders rising and falling gently. [say]"..for the most part. But to worship the new gods—"[/say] At this her expression sours and the intricately beautifully lines of her face grow hard. [say]"—would indeed be frowned upon. Not only does she call herself a god when she is not, but she stands against all that we aim for. "[/say] Safrin says, crossing her arms with a small hum that turned into a sigh.

[say]"You are as thoughtful as you are beautiful."[/say] The goddess muses with a gentle smile. [say]"I know that you are new here sugar. If you could do anything for me, it would be to find a place here and find people. Things are ... changing here. It would be in your best interest to decide before lines are drawn, on what side of history you wish to find yourself."[/say]
Starlight surrounds Safrin and in a wink she is gone. As the shimmering dust settles Lily feels relaxed and at ease, as if she could easily take on any task or challenge that the world might have to throw at her. | ||||
