Safrin
Melita’s warning earned a small lift of Safrin’s chin, the goddess’s expression remaining serenely unconvinced. "Well," she said, smoothing one hand down the fall of midnight fabric at her hip, "then I suppose I should thank you for the warning."
Her gaze slid back to Ronin as he continued, and there—at the prospect of Ludo owing her something—her attention caught properly. Safrin’s eyes narrowed just slightly, not in displeasure this time but consideration. "Is anyone truly surprised that Ludo isn’t heeding Mort’s calls?" she asked, folding her arms across her chest with a faintly petulant air. "It is rather known for not listening." A core trait, some might even say.
Still, she straightened, thoughtful now despite herself. "It did come to bother me not so long ago. At the end of Leafchange, I think." Her nose wrinkled delicately. "It wanted me to come with it to the jungle, and said something about the Dreamwalker." Safrin raised her brows, her disbelief turning almost pointed. "But the Dreamwalker was killed, what, four years ago now?" A soft tut left her, followed by a slow shake of her head. "So obviously I knew it was a trap. It is probably still there, sulking because I didn’t indulge it."
