and everybody's gotta breathe somehow
The subject changed, and Alys raised her brows at the direction the conversation took. She'd never been asked to lead anything, and that she was being asked now came as somewhat of a surprise. That she was being asked to lead an expedition into the Grounds on a quest for Frey was even more of a shock. She was honored, on the one hand, that Deimos thought her capable of such a thing; on the other, she still had a grudge against the gods, and she was hesitant to join in something to benefit them.
"Can I ask you something?" Alys asked, tilting her head to the side as she surveyed the surrounding cave, looking for anything else that she might be able to collect. "I mean - yes, I can take a group to the Grounds, but - well, don't the gods hate us? Abandoned, I mean. Why do anything for them?" It was, perhaps, a naive question, but one that she still couldn't quite understand.
