Feeling a little naive for being surprised by Mildew’s question, Wessex has to remind herself once again that appearances are deceiving. Her laugh is bitter and short before she replies. “Are the Old Gods any help? Their heralds? No one I know wants war except for maybe the Order, we just want to live peacefully.” Because the end she speaks of is not certain for the other races, despite how it may feel. “I think the Voice and myself have made some mistakes in the past, but we aren’t going around killing anyone because of who they worship.” They aren’t using people as bait, they aren’t making doors that kill.
“It’s only the end of our world. Literally. If the Voice dies, we’ll die too.” Wessex says quietly, stopping completely for a moment. Statuesque except for the way her head slowly sinks a bit and her expression falls. “But without a herald or a God, Caido will live on. Do we deserve to die because for whatever reason, we chose a different path? Not inherently good or bad. Just different.”
Hell, some might argue that Remi is a bad person, or the Order members, or even the smugglers and thieves of Torchline. Smiling gratefully at the offer, Wessex nods and watches as Mildew summons the local wildlife for assistance. “I thought that might be the case, but thank you nonetheless. I really do appreciate it.” Though she’s obviously disappointed and still worried, it’s for no lack of effort or fault of either of them.
