There’s a small smile that peeks on the corner of her lips as she watches him cocoon himself with the blankets, glad that he has found some kind of semblance of comfort despite the confusion of everything else that’s happened. And of course, she expects him to grow confused with the amount of information she’s divulging onto him. So she settles back, with that deluge of information, waiting for the questions to rise up. At first, she wonders what the first one might be – and when he questions about the goddess, she nods with a fanged grin. “We do. She made me into an Ascended.” She tells him easily.But then he mentions the blood, and programs where he was from before that helped sustain him, and her brows furrow slightly in a silent question. She’s never heard of anything like it, but she’s also never been around people like them before Caido. And she shakes her head. “We can, we can take a power from the other races if we do.” She says lightly, tilting her head. “But no, we don’t really need it to survive. We can go to the new god shrines and refuel, in a sense.” The way she says it makes it seem as though she’ll show him – which she will, it’s necessary.
“We’re around, though we mostly remain low to the ground. Our Queen, however, is Ascended.” She pauses with a light smile before it fades. “The others… They do, but there’s been a sickness in the woods that has spread to the ground and people, that we somehow caused. Our King has been effected, but we’ve all been planting roses to try and combat it. Something the Old Gods are having us do… But they don’t particularly care for our kind too much, so we’re doing what we can.” She hums thoughtfully, a bit sadly. “It’s why we’re laying low, just in case.” She informs him. It’s better he knows now, before something terrible happened. “But no need to worry, we will be fine.” She says softly, tenderly.
