Amalia
For my part, I know nothing with any certainty
There is no point in continuing this- Amalia can see it plainly, read in her Goddess' expression and words how little she cares for Sam's plight. And though she had hoped it might end otherwise, she cannot count herself surprised. The decision of a mortal to Ascend is a small piece of the world to one such as Safrin, the Shield thinks.It is a mortal folly, and so it will need a mortal solution, perhaps.
The final comment Safrin makes does leave the girl stunned, color draining from her face as the implication lands. "I... could not pay that price," she whispers, glancing back at Sam. "But there are others who would. Remi... may be able to help you, better than I can. Or Delphia. We can speak to them."
To Safrin the girl nods her head, respect and resignation in her tone. "Thank you for giving us your time, Safrin. I hope I will see you again soon."
