I sailed seas of emotion to wander a forest of scars
I am a dance of light and darkness, a galaxy of shadow and stars

"The Celestine?" The word sounds beautiful, feels like starlight on her tongue, and immediately Amalia brightens, intrigued. "Was it made by the Gods? The city, I mean. Does it have... um... carriages? And towers of glass? Do many families live in one house?" It is clear that Amalia's knowledge of cities is an amalgamation of Outlander fragments; the Citadel is the closest thing to civilization the Shield has truly seen.
The handshake is complete and the hand withdrawn, moving immediately to push back her hair as a flush spreads over Amalia's cheeks. "I suppose you could say that," the girl murmurs shyly, not looking at Gideon. "He... changed me. And I belong to him now." The familiar awe floods her voice; she still cannot believe what it might mean.
It is reassuring to hear his shared affection for the gods, and Amalia's warm smile is undeniable. "I... it's difficult to explain," the Shield replies, glancing at Gideon again. "I have always loved the gods, always prayed and done my best to live in their life. And I've been unspeakably blessed, especially by Safrin and Vi."
Turning back to the expanse of tundra, Amalia shrugs. "But I don't... I wouldn't pretend to be more than I am. I'm Vi's- whatever he will have of me. That's all I've ever wanted, and more than I deserve."
