"Amazing. You might actually be capable of change, Jata. Shocked it hasn't sent you running for the hills." she said dryly. Because gods forbid that Sunjata grew to be anything more or different from what he was, based on how he clung to the past like a worn out security blanket. She couldn't even call it a shield for how sad it was.
That should have been the end of it. The final quip in a short lived exchange. But instead there was more, and it caused Phoebe to pause in her retreat. The midwife's honeyed gaze turned back to Sunjata, hard but concerned nonetheless. Even in the depths of despise she could not fathom a lack of empathy where children were concerned. "He very well might. And if not him, one of the other ascended will at the very least try. That is war, Jata, and you two are on opposite sides, and your child has a bounty on her head as the child of a goddess. Nate is as helpless to the whims of his goddess as the rest of us molded into something else by the hands of the divine. If she really isn't a punishment, then get your head out of the sand and decide which is more important to you, because you can't have both once this war starts." she said, glancing at the fire.
