I'm a bad influence
As Remi speaks, her mind goes back to her conversation with Aurelia. The smuggler had been so intent that Safrin just wanted them to need her. If that was the case it made her question why she did this to Ronin. Was it manipulation? A ploy to keep him in line? She understood why Sunjata did it. The deal having been made to save his husband no matter what happened during the war. Of course, Remi isn't telling her everything, keeping some of it to himself. The message was clear, though. Safrin had a reason for everything she did and sometimes that reason was unbearably cruel.
Maeve presses her lips together, brows drawn together as she tries to find the words to say to him. There was nothing she really could say. Clearly his hatred for the goddess ran deep and likely always did. "I guess I just don't understand the purpose behind it... Why do that? Was it to teach a lesson? Keep him faithful? It just doesn't make sense to me. None of it does really. I don't understand how you could keep serving a goddess who is so willing to do that to you." The words come tumbling out. A series of questions strung together as she works to understand the appeal of it all.
"When people talk about the gods... The good sounds so good, but the bad is truly bad. I don't know if it outweighs the bad enough for the risk to be worth it." Maeve admits truthfully, looking back at him now as she finally tears her gaze away from the waves.
