"Brown. He wasn't dressed very excitingly and he had these big black stains all over." Jiao clearly did not care for this man very much at all. Despite never actually speaking to him beyond the one heckling event (she had seen him since, been in the same room, but had decided he was not worth giving a chance to) she seemed confident she knew he was awful.
He apologised for the Blight, which was so bizarre she nearly laughed; instead she just smiled bemused. Was that what the humans thought they wanted? Verbal apologies? She was not prone to violence in the same way as Delah, but she felt a surge of anger similar to the chiefs in the moment - how dare he try to apologise as if that would fix anything? As for the promise they were doing what they could...she rolled her eyes. She had not yet seen the results.
Her disdain would only continue when he revealed he was an Abandoned. One of those cast aside by the Gods. And while Jiao did not have the best relationship with them herself, she found herself immediately distrusting him even further once she learnt he had none at all. "You know not all magic comes from being weird and the Gods not liking you, right? Fae have magic, and the Gods like us."

Baby it doesn't matter
