I've embraced the torch passed to me
owned what I've been called to be
“I don’t think anyone who’s walked in our shoes really will. The rest of the world, though…” she shrugs. “The nuances, the provocation, the fact that Ronin could have focused on saving people instead of fighting and prevented more death… could have bought more time by not shooting starbolts at the fucking building -” scoffing heavily and shaking her head, Wessex’s eyes darken again. “Edy once said I was the monster the Voice unleashed on the world and half of me wants to be.”
It wouldn’t help anything. And it wouldn’t create a better world at the end of the war, but fuck it would be satisfying to no longer hold back.
But now is not the time to dwell on that, else Amun might actually get really hurt. “Thanks. I think Isla is going to come up with something a bit more diplomatic, if she can.” As for whether or not they’d be ready for Safrin, the demigod can’t comment on that, nor does she want to tear down any optimism her brother still has. So she just forces a tight smile and nods, reaching back to her spine to find the splashback upgrade and taking it out, then putting it securely away.
“There. So you won’t actually die.”
He’s quick to attack, she’ll give him that, and with a sudden, feral grin, Wessex ducks under the flying chain and puts an arm up to purposefully entangle herself. Regardless of how close Amun is or isn’t, she’ll shoot a biopulse towards him.
