'Cause either I get there or don't, Those are both things that I know
She doesn't understand what he means by what he says, blinking and shaking her head a bit in her confusion. "Why? What's wrong, Sunjata? What did Safrin do?" She asks, reaching to pull his scarred arm back from pushing his hair, in order to grab his attention, anchor him to the reality they're in.
He asks what she did and now it's her that looks away, groaning reluctantly and rubbing her forehead with one hand. "I mean, I really didn't do much," she shrugs, trying to minimize it and the anxiety that's built up over it. Then, she explains. "Wessex sent me a letter. In it, she told me that Gideon was responsible for kidnapping and murdering Ascended. She didn't tell me who but she said they were practically children," she shoots Sunjata a look, a mixture of concern and outrage in her eyes, "she asked for my help and I couldn't-" no, she could have refused. She could have stood by. "-I didn't want to do nothing, or pass it off to someone else. I came here to warn Isla, but before I did I made it public. Posted a notice on the board in Haulani, identifying Gideon for what he is. We both know what he is. He destroyed the shrine in Torchline, and he-he's told me how he feels about the Ascended. It's sick- how he talks about them like they're not even people," her tone grows vehement, her teeth flashing as she speaks.
But she breathes out, shutting her lips tightly, letting the anger bubble away. "It wasn't much, I just put the truth out there - and people could take it or leave it as they see fit. But it got Maeve's attention.." she chuckles without any amusement behind it, shaking her head.
