Elizabeth
Having heard of Evie's own experience with losing her powers, Elizabeth is finding it more difficult to deny that it may one day be something she experiences for herself. And it's terrifying. Just the thought has her fighting off a shiver as she pushes away possible futures and what-ifs that may never even come to pass.
She focuses instead on the humor and relationship analysis surrounding the herald. "That sounds dangerous." Glancing around as if Safrin might be in the room with them, Elizabeth leans forward to whisper, "And, if I'm being honest, a little toxic." She smiles playfully despite the heavy topic of jealous territorial goddesses, shrugging her shoulders as she takes another sip from her glass. When she sets it back down, her face is still warm with a new hint of seriousness. "It makes sense that boundaries would be necessary, but I understand how that may be hard with a literal deity." The following laugh is a sympathetic huff of 'what can you do?' because there really is no 'right' answer for handling the gods' quirks. Even she, with her extremely limited interactions with them, recognizes that much; but maybe that's just because of her obsession with varying relationships and personalities. It still makes her wonder, "Are things better with Vi?"
Elizabeth went to take another sip of her drink while waiting for him to answer before realizing that a slightly unpleasant haze was starting to settle over her thoughts. Her alcohol tolerance isn't something she's experimented with much, and perhaps she'd do that another day, when she wasn't sitting before a demigod. For now, she slides her glass a little out of reach, giving Ronin a sheepish smile. "I don't usually drink this much."
