The Few You Seem to Favour

JIAO

Safrin made the distinction between humans and Ascended. Jiao, who had lumped the humans all together in one convenient pile in her head, didn't really understand the difference. She knew the Ascended were the really weird...machiney suck people...but weren't all humans just as weird in other ways? "Why...did the Ascended do it, then? And what does the Voice want?"

As for why she was asking for advice, Jiao looked off, a little embarrassed. "I just thought you might have a better idea of what we should do. I get...mixed responses from around Sidhe, and I...have never um...been the best at..." She did not often admit her own failures, and Jiao clearly struggled to get the words out. "Seeing things all the ways I should do. I guess you'd advise we shouldn't be friends with the Ascended ones?"
