As it was Peter didn’t fight the redirecting of his gaze, though he was clearly uncomfortable to look directly at her. She was so bright it almost burned, and he didn’t need anyone to tell him that he wasn’t worthy of this.
Safrin repeated his words, and if he wasn’t held up, he would nod. A soft breath left him at her question, his tongue coming out to wet his lips, get his thoughts in order. He had dreamed of another life for as long as he’d dreamed, though the specifics changed now and then. He didn’t even need to close his eyes to think about the answer.
”I-I’m not... not like this. Not broken. I... escaped sooner, and I... I was strong enough to help people. To... to not listen, and to fight back.” Peters eyes shine, his gaze fixed on the goddess’ face but distant, a single tear running down his cheek as memories come rising up. ”I see... someone, a... a man, or... me, but I... deserve the people around me. And I can... keep them safe, if they need.” He has no idea if this is what she wanted to hear, if his rambling is even coherent, but it’s all he can offer.
