are you still hurting?

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

oh but who can say which?

When it came to the gods of Caido, Kiada is immensely unaware of how they all are, how they all work, what kind of things might offend and what might not. At least Ronin, in the Harpy’s eyes, was close enough to maybe have an idea. And when he doesn’t, really, it doesn’t change her thoughts too much. It just increases a small amount of worry that settles beneath her heart. She’s incredibly pessimistic as of late, and with that it doesn’t seem to bother her much that he can’t entirely answer it for her.

That’d be too easy, right?

At his sigh, she crosses one leg over another with a small shrug. The past was the past, there was nothing that could be done to change it. But he brings up a good point, one that causes her to smile perhaps a bit sadly. “I’m not sure if it will upset them… I just, assume the worst.” She shrugs, reaching to point to the X scar on the side of her neck. “I got this gift from a god from a previous world, so you can imagine my anxieties I’m sure.” A dark attempt at humor before she sighs quietly.

“It wanted Ascended upgrades. As many that I thought Ru’in’s soul was worth.” And her smile falls toward a frown, because it’s still something she can’t quantify. "I'm afraid they might be trying to make another kind of Spire Demon." Her eyes flit upward to look to Ronin, now, hoping to show that she's unwilling to succeed with that bargain specifically because of that.
