Hidden in Plain Sight

Sam didn't answer Jigano's first question, not after he heard what came after. He felt a heavy weight come down on his chest as his friend disparaged his goddess, rude and cold. Lies, too. He was sure. "Jigano. Maybe you don't, but I trust the Voice. Maybe there is something we can't see, that the Gods can, that would give a reason for her to do it. But anyway, I'm sure she isn't behind it. It's probably natural." Honestly, he had no idea why the blight was happening, but The Voice had always been upfront with him before, right? He was sure she hadn't said anything merely because there was nothing to say. As for Sidhe...he was proud of himself for what he'd done there. It stung to hear himself being criticised for it. "I didn't disturb anyone. I'm sorry Jigano, but..I have to do what The Voice asks of me. She's...the closest thing I have to family, now." His own mother had never loved him the way his Goddess did.
