Meandering magic

Sah

Only in the dark
of night

Sah's eyes narrowed further as Aurelia spoke, remaining silent as pieces of the puzzle began falling into place. From where Sah was standing, and from what he knew, there was far more going on behind the scenes then the woman was stating. Possibly, more than she knew. Sah knew that Deimos and Sunjata didn't get along. Yet he knew that both were loyal to Safrin more or less. That would logically place them on the same side.

And despite the situation with Sunjata an Hotaru, Sah didn't see the Sword as petty enough to attack a guild over a separation. At least, he really fucking hoped not. Was it possible that the conflict was over whatever Safrin had planned? Maybe the two didn't agree on how to go about it? Or was there something else going on? Sah felt his stomach drop. Even Ronin had described the goddess has somewhat manipulative. Was it possible that she was pitting the two against each other?

The last bit of Aurelia's statement had Sah nodding in understanding. In his view, the woman had defended what was hers, and she'd done so viciously. A small smirk came to his face. "Well. I might interrogate Deimos when I get home, try to get some answers out of him. As for you?" His smirk grew, a hint of both approval and minor disgust present. "Killing a companion in general is fucked up and I don't agree with it. I'd have saved it as a last resort if the circumstances allowed it. But from what I'm hearing, you did your fucking job and I can't fault you for it." He didn't approve of her killing Hotaru's companion in the slightest, but Aurelia had every right to defend her home. And the rage that came with such circumstances certainly explained such a drastic and heartless choice.
