RAZA
“Aight,” Raza agrees with a nod, wipin’ her hands on a bar rag an’ then again on her shorts.
Placin’ her elbow on the bar, the long, lithe woman stretches her back a bit, rolling through the familiar movement with a feline grace as she stares out at the bar an’ collects ‘er thoughts. After a length silence, she looks at Arialla an’ places her chin in her hands. “So fer me, it’s mostly a lot’a frustration an’ feelin’ like we cain’t do anythin’ about it. Y’know, we got demigods comin’ in an’ how can we compete with those powers? Life worked just fine afore anyone came, an’ the majority’a problems we had then, we still got now. ‘Cept now the world is bigger. Woohoo, great, but how does that help us?”
Raza shrugs, shakin’ her head an’ pullin up. “It don’t. We got a Gov’ner who can turn into a dragon, except he didn’t when he should’a an’ has ridiculous drama that’s bleedin’ over into everyone else. An’ look - I know it ain’t everyone.” Gesturin’ to Arialla as an example, she continues. “I don’t know ya, but y’don’t give off the ‘collection powers for fun’ type. I know folks been brought here by the Voice, it ain’t their choice. But I’d really like t’see ‘em try t’live like a normal person. A normal Torcher. Instead’a draggin’ Torchline into whatever’s goin’ on with the Gods.”
Shakin’ her head again, Raza looks out one’a the windows closest to her, at the Ocean an’ the sand, the light breeze comin’ in. “Let us have our way’a life. Trade. Sea. Favors. All this meddlin'... it gonna bring somethin' bad. I can feel it. ”
