"I..." She hesitated. Chewed on her lip, agonizing whether it was madness or folly or just weak to try and find solutions in her former lover. But then she recalled that Sunjata was more than that, these days. So she drew a deep breath, and launched into it.
"Can I ask you something? As Frey's demi-god?" Or an old friend. Whichever worked best.
