“Yeah,” her gaze inevitably turns to the Spire, ground zero for every big thing that’s happened to the demi-god. “It dind’t hurt because we can’t feel pain the same way everyone else does. We register the damage but it doesn’t hurt. Anyway, I was stupid, and trying to both protect and impress a girl. The Spire Demon attacked while we were at the base of the Spire and I attacked when I should have run.” Wessex shrugs. As the Outlander will find later, she is ok with admitting her faults and mistakes.
“It tore me to pieces. I woke up a season later with some new additions and the knowledge that The Voice put me back together and gave me some new tools to help keep me safe.” There’s a faint smile in her eyes and on her face. Her Goddess has been nothing but generous to her. Demanding, in some ways, but Wessex has always been willing to pay her back.
Nodding at his desire to keep things separate, she pushes back only ever so slightly. “We have some very… outspoken people who are anti-Ascended. Let me guess… you’ve talked Jigano and Amalia? Maybe Loren?” She can't think of anyone else who might say that kind of thing. Trying to keep her voice light and disciplined, calm and collected - perhaps the way one might talk to a teenager they’re trying to show the error of their ways.
