Well, there it is. If Arialla's guest wasn't willing to politely ignore her reaction, then Arialla felt justified in making an issue of it. With a bitter smile, she said, "I'm not very favorably inclined to the Voice, since she snatched me here out of my perfectly happy life, taking me from my family and home."

"I didn't want to be 'chosen for greatness,'" Arialla said, anger in her voice -- not so much at Osozo themself as at the Voice. "I had a home. I had a life. And now I'm what? A vagrant in a strange land? Why should I thank the Voice any more than I would an ordinary kidnapper?"
She paused, trying to calm herself and find an argument that Osozo might understand. "Do you have a family? Outside of the Voice?" Another pause; the compliment threw Arialla off-balance. There was still bitterness in her voice even as she said, "Thank you. Osozo ... it suits you." She meant it, and not as an insult. Something in the sibilant sounds seemed to describe their namesake's strangeness, their unique appearance and manner. It was a good name for them.

"And, what, those objections don't matter?" Arialla shook her head. The idea that heroes had little control over their own destinies wasn't foreign to her -- it had just never applied to her before. She definitely wasn't a hero. Her voice turned bitter and sarcastic. "I'm so glad you've given me leave not to thank her."
All right, that was just petty, which was not where she'd wanted to go with this ... She tried to calm herself, sighing. "Somehow I imagined you'd say that. But still -- imagine one day you were ripped away from all of them, Ascended, Voice, everything you'd ever known. Wouldn't you be a bit upset?" Her voice just sounded tired and sad as she added, "Me too, actually."

"So I've been told." Arialla sighed, her anger dying down to ashy sorrow. "Telling me I shouldn't won't stop me, though. I can't just choose not to be angry." Arialla blinked, taken aback. "The Voice wouldn't even notice if you vanished? That's so ..." Sad, she had been about to say. If the Voice was the closest thing Osozo had to family, and she wouldn't care about their disappearance ... Well, she was a god -- Arialla didn't expect her own god to notice her disappearance -- but still. No wonder Osozo couldn't relate to Arialla's grief, if their own relationships were so distant. And they didn't even seem to know what they were missing. Arialla found herself frowning deeply in a sort of sympathy and pity. All she could say was, "I think someday you'll find someone who you don't want to be parted from. I hope you'll understand someday." Though Arialla did have to smile at Osozo's little clap of delight. For all their strangeness, there was an innocence about them -- unworldly was the best word, she decided. She couldn't quite dislike them, even for their theological differences. please don't take my sunshine away

The idea of speaking to the Voice had never really occurred to Arialla, with her hurt and anger so fresh. She paused to consider it a moment and found that she rather liked it. A chance to demand answers from the goddess who had dragged her from her life, to confront her with her actions ... It probably wasn't a good idea to yell at a goddess, nor could she really expect any remorse from one. But it would make her feel better, as long as she didn't get immediately smote. "Maybe I will speak with her someday." Osozo's next statement made Arialla's heart quicken in confusion and something like panic. "What do you mean? There's still a version of me at home?" No one had ever expressed that idea to her before. please don't take my sunshine away

Arialla couldn't help letting out a little ironic chuckle. Angrily confronting a goddess was distinctly not a good idea, but sometimes you just had to do stupid things. And, well, if the Voice struck Arialla with lightning, at least she wouldn't feel homesick anymore. "So my family doesn't miss me ... they don't even know I'm gone." Arialla looked down. She ought to feel relieved about that, she supposed, but it felt more like -- like she'd been replaced. And if she did get home, what then? She couldn't go back to her former life; there would be another Arialla already occupying that position. I really can't go back. She raised a hand to her face, trying to hold back tears. Maybe Osozo was wrong. Though if anyone knew about the mechanics of being snatched to Caido, it seemed like they would be the one. please don't take my sunshine away

Arialla flinched away from Osozo's hand -- an instinctive reaction that she almost regretted when she realized it. She was hardly in a place to refuse any offer of comfort right now, however awkward. It took her a moment to swallow her incipient tears, a moment of blinking and looking down, covering her mouth. Finally she managed: "I already was what I wanted to be. Now I have nothing." Not even hope. If Osozo was right -- Arialla could only pray that they were mistaken. She'd ask Safrin. She'd have to hang the remaining scraps of her hope on Safrin's guidance. please don't take my sunshine away
