I'm a bad influence
He's right and she hates it. She doesn't want to be involved in the war or with the gods or any of it. It was never on her list of things to do. Plenty of other things were, though. Like falling in love, having a family, keeping her workers safe, taking care of those important to her. Those were the things she wanted to do. Not fight in wars or make deals with gods. Except she's helpless against the oncoming warm. How can she keep them safe on her own? How can she take care of those around her if she's just her? All of these thoughts swirl in her head, pinching her brows together and taking away that normally easy smile.
A sigh pushes past her lips and she meets his gaze, "In truth Remi, I'm scared of them. I know that might be silly... Seeing as I'm an Accepted and everything, but I am. My parents didn't tell me much about them. No one did really." Her cheeks flush as she recalls her discussion with Sunjata. How silly she felt to learn of the reason they never answered her before. "I haven't prayed since I was a child. I didn't know then that they were locked away. I didn't know until recently. I've been considering trying again."
