MARU
listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness
like a heartbeat that drives you mad
like a heartbeat that drives you mad
Slowly she begins to calm, and he croons softly to encourage it. Letting the vibrations hum through the water in one of the few vocalizations they can manage beneath the surface, akin to whalesong. Sounds he has made to help lull her to sleep since she could fit in the crook of his arm.
Maru is certainly no expert on the Gods, but the smugglers and ship captains have always been wealths of information. He draws on this, reluctant to appear stressed or confused lest Delta draw on those emotions. He must be her rock right now. Any offering when given sincerely is not likely to be turned away, even if the God does not visit. It doesn't sound normal. Not that he has a better explanation than that of course, but he will do his own research immediately. You have done nothing to earn their anger. I am confident it will subside. And if not, then Maru intends to tear the kingdom apart to find a cure.

in the stillness of remembering what you had
and what you lost
and what you lost
