Though Safrin's patience was in abundance given all that had transpired, it was not endless, not was the goddess without her own needs and desires. Though she listened to his question, it was with a soft shake of her head that she declined to answer.
"That is the question of a careful mind, Hadama." One she was more than aware he possessed, though it was not his mind that this conversation was concerned with. "A heart fully dedicated to me and my cause would not need to know such things before agreeing." Such was faith, after all. "You have spoken to those who follow my path, to those who walk alongside it, and to those who have gone their own way."
Though it was of no surprise that the merking struggled with precisely this leap of faith, it was precisely what was required of all who followed her closely enough to be raised above the rest.
"Yes or no, Hadama. There will be no repercussions based in anger, either way." If he needed to maintain autonomy over his own life, so be it. Safrin's ask of her demigods was nothing less than absolute but with it came the gift of immortality and blessings beyond measure.
