(o) to look beyond the glory

Sah

Only in the dark
of night

"You and me both." Sah agreed with a small smile. It was rather funny that in a world of shape shifters, no one seemed prepared to encounter someone who went in the reverse direction. Or have even the vaguest idea of how to explain things. It was nice though, to have someone willing to listen to his story. Before Seren had started really asking, Sah had had no idea how much he wanted to talk about his home. About his old life. It felt cathartic almost.

Seren's reaction to his scar was a bit surprising. Her expression clearly showed her compassion. Sah smiled gently in response, responding to her quiet words. "Definetly foolish. I'm glad to be alive as well. Sah was well aware of how lucky he was to still be breathing.

The playful banter however, raised his spirits. It had been so long since Sah had been so relaxed in someone's presence. And her insistence of protecting him was a nice surprise. When the last time someone had truly protected him? "Thank you. And if I ever figure out how to fight on two legs, I'll return the favor." He teased, but his gratitude was clear in his smile. Lilly yipped, pulling him out of his thoughts. "I think we're getting close."

Sah paused for a moment as the mnty trees began to come into view, wanting to be transparent. "And Seren? I do plan to visit the old gods and get some guidance. To hear their side of it all directly. But..." He grit his teeth. "I promised someone who's helped me out in the past that I'd also hear out the Voice by going to her shrine afterwards. I know full well that the Voice is the enemy, don't get me wrong. But I've always been one to keep my word. So I have to go nonetheless." He let out a sigh. "I just wanted you to know that, because if you'd heard that I'd gone their via some other means, I'm sure it would have come across as me choosing her side." Sah clarified nervously. He really liked Seren, feeling calmer and more at ease with her then with anyone he'd met so far in Caido. He really wanted to be her friend. But Sah knew that there was a possibility that she would reject him from this. But no lasting friendship or relationship of any kind starts with lies.
