I'll Be There For You

phoebe Sleep and I shall soothe you, calm you, and annoint you Her cheeks flushed a little, wondering if maybe it was some sort of faux pas to discuss god interactions with people amongst those native to Caido. "W-well...I didn't set out to. It's just sort of...happened that way. Frey I met at first on accident. It was...terrifying really, but they kept someone from hurting me so I went back to give them an offering as thanks...but I didn't realize that doing so could make them show up again...and then the told me to...ah...well that doesn't really matter I suppose." she said, turning bright red. Telling him that she had a sex quest from Frey, the deity of sexuality and sensuality? Yeah, that might not go well...or at least she assumed so. Maybe everything would become forced after and she didn't want that. "Safrin I went to apologize to. There is an Outlander named Bastien who...well he is a jerk and he insulted her and I was worried she might take her insult out on other people so...I apologized on his behalf. She was really quite nice...if any were my friends she would probably be the closest." She had been very friendly, on the verge of familial. Frey...well Frey thought she was boring. "And...well I already said Ludo probably thinks I am stupid." she said with a sigh. So...god friends? More like god acquaintances. At least he smiled a little. A real one this time. But as he turned to the topic of the spire and the barrier and...how it didn't affect any of them she frowned. It just wasn't true. It affected all of them. The important to the forgettable, the big to the small, the divine to the mundane - they were all affected by it. He kissed her chin and she smiled a little, looking at him sadly. "You're wrong, Emmett. It does affect us." she said quietly. She had wanted to avoid talking about what Ludo had said of his family, knowing it would only bring him more troubled emotions. But...he was so convinced that he somehow didn't matter, that his life was insignificant and boring, that it would continue to be. And maybe he never would be a famed hero, and she would never be anything but a midwife lost to time but...they still had souls, and they were as trapped as anyone. "Ludo is supposed to guide the dead to whatever the final resting place is for the soul. But the barrier...it's in the way. So everyone who has died here is just...waiting. Not in pain but not at peace either." she said quietly.
