“Like they’re not really themselves..?” Sunjata says slowly, like he’s testing the words out before they slip past his lips. Lifting his gaze to meet his niece’s, his jaw works as he sees just how on the edge of the chair she’s become. His eyes widen at her question and he shrugs a tattooed shoulder, uncertainty flickering across his gaze momentarily.
He doesn’t really know. “I haven’t seen anyone from the Family yet. But I can see who’s infected. It’s like.. They have way too many eyes and too sharp of teeth in all kinds of shitty, awful places, and tentacles.” His nose wrinkles and he puffs out the sigh, head tilting slightly as feathers burst through his dark curls. “I see flickers of it sometimes in my reflection, even though I’m healed. And Ru, fuck, when I saw her I couldn’t stand to be near her and all she wanted was to be comforted because of Flora.” And he’d sent her away.
Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Sunjata realizes he shouldn’t be placing all of this on her shoulders, but it’s past his lips now. “But… She’s healed now too, at least.”

rely a bit too heavily on alcohol & irony
BASE INSPIRED BY ODD <3
Feel free to use magic/force on Sunjata, without killing him <3
Sunjata speaks with an Australian accent and has a passive magic that makes him produce a subtle scent that matches exactly to whatever those around him most desire him to smell like.
