It's Lord of the Flies in my mind tonight
“Two out of two thousand is a very small sample size. Don’t mistake their feelings for me and The Voice as a general dislike the Ascended. Sam, Rexanna, Bastien, Clemente, Amun, Nate… they’re very different. We even had an Ascended healer, very briefly.” Every now and then Wessex mourns the loss of the sister she could have had, but never really knew. She goes up there with Aedion as someone she thinks she might have liked.
Nodding simply at his assessment of her Lady’s measures to protect her, she adds, “She’s done more than that. She’s lifted me up to a divine level.” Shamelessly borrowing a phrase from Bastien, this seems like an appropriate time to brag. Abasi seems to put a premium on status and what others think, so what better way to impress on him that he might want to seek multiple opinions.
“It’s your business, of course, but as an Outlander, I’d think you’d want to find out the truth from both sides before making a decision." That's probably her main gripe about the Outlanders. They hear one thing and then jump in headfirst, eager for power and favoritism, having absolutely no idea that it may not be the truth. They see the blatant racism and get sucked in, abandoning whatever loyalties and logic they might have had for the first loud, persuasive voice. "Have you spoken to any Ascended other than me?” The mud in her hand doesn’t seem to want to stay still enough to be molded, so she lets it run freely over her hand as she looks to Abasi with a slightly raised brow.
