AISHA
and i knew
how could she not
how could she not
Aisha glanced back to her stew when he used it as an analogy, then brought up a spoonful to her mouth. It was a soothing flavor, the meat and the spices and the warmth, and it calmed the nerves bit by bit. Oliver had answered her question enough as well. While it wasn't at all a comfort to know that only a portion of the people she met would be like her, it did make her feel a little special, in a weird way. Her ego straightened it's dulling crown.
"Gotcha," she replied with a nod, holding her hands on the clay pottery of the bowl, warming her cold finger tips. Oliver's companionable response to her little rant of an explanation was another comfort. He didn't talk that different than her, they had a similar cadence and usage of words. And now come to think of it, they spoke the same language. That seemed odd, and she was curious about it, but perhaps a question for the future.
"What happened?" she asked in response to him mentioning a bad run in with a god. He'd told her what kind of good the gods had done for him, but she felt it might be helpful to know the bad too. She wanted to know what to expect, if she were to stay here indefinitely.
Next he gave more reassurance, then asked if she'd like for him to go in further depth about the gods. "Go for it," she replied, sitting back as she prepared for a lesson.
