are you still hurting?

maybe we exist to bleed // maybe we exist to burn

oh but who can say which?

A quiet room seemed hard to come by, not that the Harpy had looked very hard for one. As Ronin answers the door, shadowed icy eyes immediately are brought to his face, the soot markings and the exhaustion that seems to cling to him. But she, too, can’t really muster a smile in greeting for him. “Thanks.” She says quietly instead, slipping through beside him to glance around the room briefly. “I don’t imagine it’ll take them long before they do find it.” A hint of humor, but most of it is lost on her.

Turning to Ronin when he asks her what’s on her mind, causes her to pause and inhale deeply. She’s not sure where to even start, but she figures it’s easier if she eludes into it. “I, uh, wanted to know I guess if you’ve ever upset Safrin? Or any god, for that matter.” She doesn’t know how Ludo will take to the bargain, to having failed and not gathered enough items and trinkets to appease the monster, nor enough backup to fight off the creature holding the soul… But she has to start somewhere. And if Ronin has upset Safrin, and is still one of her chosen? Well, perhaps that just meant there was hope after all. That she hadn’t blown it apart in the end.
