MAEA
It was perhaps a good thing that he did not interrup, because Maea found it incredibly hard to talk about. Certainly it wasn't the kind of story she offered lightly; the only other person she'd told had been her Provost, only a few days after it happened. It had been difficult then too... and just as that time, she was questioned on the intentions of The Voice. As if Maea could somehow answer that.
"If that was her intention, it certainly did not come across," she said, a bit hoarsely. "It sounded mostly like she was tired of her experiments failing on her." Maea watched him take her hands, hold them tight; she forced down a deep breath, and the quivers slowed a little when some of the worst tension eased. Wrapped her fingers around his hand, grateful that he didn't scold her for all her fears again.
Was she really rejecting him, by being unable to accept his goddess? Maea didn't want that... but she couldn't help it, everything in her just rebelled whenever the New Gods became involved.
"I know - knew - of one who was Abandoned, and Attuned. Peter. He... was offered a trial. And he passed it. It seems... it's more a matter of trust, for the Old Gods." Jigano had been 'cursed' with magic after arriving as Attuned. So it certainly wasn't dangerous for anyone to be both of those.
