EVIE
Evie gives a wry smile, reaching to pluck a tiny sprout in her windowsill and places it upon her palm. With her newly upgraded magic from training with Zariah and Morgan mere days ago, it is easy to have it sprouting instantly into a fully mature plant in her hand. She returns it to the windowsill and gives Sam and uncertain but still proud grin. "The results speak for themselves I think. But it's not easy to be under her rule, especially willingly." Amalia had spoken her negative opinion as well, but this is something Evie has to do. Her bullheadedness will get her through it.
"Oh, I've trained with Weaver!" The name had taken a moment to register, recalling her name being spoken when training with Deimos. She hadn't even suspected the woman was Abandoned. But wasn't that just proof that they shouldn't be treated any differently? "I'm sorry. But it's hard to even hope for a positive interaction when I've prayed my whole life to overcome something I couldn't choose, and been forsaken despite it. She may treat you well, but this is proof she is not guaranteed to do the same to me." Her gentle tone allows for him to dispute it if he wishes, and maybe he has proof of other Abandoneds being accepted with open arms if he'd like to share those stories. But for now she's not sure she can overcome this invasion of privacy.
"I can't believe she didn't suspect it...but you know she'd be too proud to admit it. She ignored me being Abandoned, she likely just locked the knowledge away in the same manner. So long as he didn't return to her, why would Mother care? Amalia didn't know, and Amalia's mother never raised a fuss." Their mother is very traditional in that way. So long as her husband didn't make the same mistake twice, why raise a fuss and out herself at a disadvantage by divorcing?

Don't look up, just let them think
