raza
If there’s anyone here who knows what it’s like to be stuck on the ground, it’s Hoa. Who here can’t see the sorrow in the creature’s eyes, see the uselessness of its wings? I’m sad for it, for even doubting its existence. Hoa sends me images and pulses of anger that seem to originate from the creature, then wanting to comfort, sliding down my body and towards the L’ma.
But I can’t let him go alone. As the only real Torcher here (sorry El and Saiden), I growl at the tiny flying midget that was threatening the L’ma, “Put that fuckin’ thing away.” You don’t get to come to my people’s pool and just threaten things like you own the damn place. Hoa is cautious, but has reached the pool by now, perhaps trying to show the bird that he, too, understands what it’s like to be unable to fly.
I step forward and squat down, emboldened by my companion’s empathy and desire to help. “How can we help you?” I ask, placing a hand on Hoa as if to say I’m with him, please don’t hurt me. I can feel him trying to radiate calm, but I don’t know if the L’ma can feel it.

Hoa (snake companion) comes down from Raza and tries to empathize and comfort the L’ma as another land-bound creature. Raza tells Alina to put her spear away and asks the L’ma how they can help it.
