'Alright.' She says with a knowing smile. "But remember, it's just a flesh wound. Whatever lingers, whatever lesson you learn, that is more than skin deep."
She is small in his arms, her face turned entirely up towards him. Capable of expressing herself in any size she chooses, this is intentional of her, this fragile facade she puts on. "It feels as though I'm losing you..." She whispers, placing her cheek against his chest that his chin might rest atop her head. Twining her arms around him as if they are dancing here, precariously close to the cliffs, the roar of the ocean falls away so that it feels like they are the only two left in the world.
"This war..." She softly shakes her head. "...it is what the gods want. It will come no matter what we do." For all the power she wields, this is not something over which Safrin has any control. 'Nate came to see me, asking for protection for you in what was to come. I thought...if he could help our side...if I could go to Vi with evidence of his assistance, that perhaps his wish could be granted...' Trailing off, the goddess sighs with a weighty sadness. Nate hadn't come through. Hadn't even tried.
