she who loved you yesterday

Safrin “Yes.” Safrin agrees. “It is the Spire that contains them. What you did was merely to open their network. A setback to be sure, but not one that you could have foreseen.” Amalia’s next question causes even the goddess’s expression to waiver, and she sighs gently. Is it with resignation? Tempered hope? Uncertainty? Her galactic features are so unreadable, especially in the dim twilight she has created around them. “I can show it to you.” She murmurs, perhaps still a bit prickled that Ludo let one of them see through the barrier without having mentioned anything to her before hand. “But whether or not you would see it for yourself?” She falls silent. Safrin cannot openly applaud their efforts to escape after all. It goes against what the old ones want. And yet.. “More than you can know.” She whispers gently, turning her star-speckled gaze towards the sun girl. “Vi is my life, but he is also my life. I am his you might say. Being away from him is like a night without stars.” Her metaphor especially apt, given her aesthetics. Humming slightly, Safrin smiles warmly. “Your dedication to them, despite their complete absence from your existence...it is admirable, Amalia.”
