"You always do." Safrin muses, and indeed it's true. Integrity is one of the baker's most foundational qualities. Even in her failures, she always does all that she is capable of.
Frowning at the question, Safrin flicks her wrist. As she does, the snow covering the shrine is instantly gone. Sitting and patting the spot next to her, she turns Amalia's shoulders so that her back is facing her and begins to slowly plait the Shield's long hair. "Yes, I have heard." Even blighted, she knew what Ludo had done. What it had said and what the repercussions were.
"Your question isn't so straightforward. Mort would never stand for that sort of order to be given. The Voice holds the souls of those she has created. To kill them, if it can be called that, would be to condemn those souls to an eternity of nothingness." Her fingers, dexterous, weave the baker's golden hair. "But Ludo..had its own thoughts. The souls of a few, to crush what might be another war wherein countless more die?" The goddess shrugs. "A tempting solution...though not one it explicitly asked of Roana. Merely it told her to prove herself. It was she who connected those particular dots."
