now take what i offer, straight up the nose, down the throat
it's a bearable bruise on your conscious
Maybe it was worse, though Sunjata can’t imagine getting called during that and it leaves him no worse nor no better at thinking about just when people called him. But it’s a conversation that takes a hold while he asks her why she thinks she’d fucked up that way. He isn’t trying to pry, obviously, but if he can help then maybe that’s a small amount of solace.
She surprises him when she answers, though, the explanation fumbling from her lips as he nods – putting a face to the name that she mentions. Safrin’s kid, the one with Jack at the Ark when he’d helped them clean it up. He doesn’t interject while she formulates her thoughts – knowing full well that he’d often been on the receiving end of not being able to say a complete thought before someone decided to try and offer their advice. He knows how shitty that feels, especially when you’re already down from the emotions of what happened.
So he’s silent, letting her explain. And when she reaches the climax of the story, Sunjata’s thankful she isn’t looking at him with the way his face twitches into a slight wince. “Oh.” He says unhelpfully – because any time he’d been channeled had been to fight something or other. Not for… recreation, he supposes.
She grips onto his thigh and turns into it, tears dampening his pants as Sunjata’s hand starts to smooth out along her side, trying to offer some warmth and comfort to her in the process of formulating his thoughts. “It ruined everything?” He asks quietly, trying to think about whether or not it was salvageable for her. And honestly, he doesn’t know them that well – least of all Safrin’s kid. But if he’s anything like the goddess that had birthed him, well, there were ways to try and fix what happened.
“I’m no expert, obviously, but I don’t think things are ever fully impossible. It might just take time for you guys to come back together if that’s what you want, but.. I mean, I fucked up once and ruined things between Ru and me and even fucked up my marriage with Nate at the time with it. But… they came back eventually. I didn’t think they would at the time and it wrecked me, but… they did come back.” And he’d been widowed in the war and Ru had forgiven him afterward eventually, even if she wasn’t here right now. He knows she’s forgiven him for those mistakes.

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.
